    Helsinki to Tallinn reward seats

    Unless you can make the 10.30pm sailing on the Friday evening, it’d be too little time to make it in a day.

    Helsinki to Tallinn reward seats

    I caught the ferry from Helsinki to Tallinn. Tram from central station is easy enough to get as someone said further up (HSL app). Arrives a short walk from Tallin old area. I stayed at the Citybox which is close to the ferry terminal and nearby to a supermarket. About a 10min walk to old town...

    I just returned home from FLL the other week. FLL-IAH-LAX-TPE-SIN/XSB-SZB/KUL-MNL-SYD. On 4 separate tickets with 4 airlines. Mostly consisted to try Starlux premium economy and fly in/out of Seletar and Subang.

    United Airlines new Virgin Australia/Velocity Partner

    I’ve also had the fee waived. Had a United ticket to the US booked. When I went to cancel, she mentioned there had been a schedule change (it was a 5min adjustment and I was notified weeks before) so she would waive the fee. It does seem like they’re quite lenient. I’m gold.

    Entering the VA reference number normally brings up your United reference in the app or website anyway.

    United Airlines new Virgin Australia/Velocity Partner

    I was meant to be flying SYD-IAH-LGA in September. It seems like UA100 has been canned and I’m now routing SYD-SFO-IAH-LGA. I’ve phoned twice asking if it’s possible to be routed differently (I would prefer SYD-SFO-EWR). Speaking with united its possible but obviously they can’t touch it cos...

    Whats the most amount of flights you took to reach your destination

    F correct. Tho I’ve gotten it successfully twice from easyjet (planes gone tech/cancellations) and once denied by Swiss due to air space restrictions over India. It’s a leisurely holiday so no big deal if I’m a day or two late.

    Whats the most amount of flights you took to reach your destination

    I have about 4-5hrs in FRA to connect to GOT. Then an overnight before the GOT-CDG-GRU-BSB flights. If anything does go majorly wrong and I miss the connects, the EU compensation would more than offset it! ;-)

    Whats the most amount of flights you took to reach your destination

    I just remembered I also once few NYC-CDG except I went LGA-CVG-LAX-FRA-LHR-CDG. Then later that trip, to get home I flew MAD-BCN-LHR-FRA-BKK-SYD. Apparently “why fly direct when you can connect” applies strongly to me… 😅

    Hotel in Vienna

    Also highly recommend. Stayed here in January and got a King corner room. Spectacular views of the city, close to good coffee and transit options. While not in the heart of the old city area, its just a short stroll and a nice quiet area. Rooms are modern and spacious.

    Those YVR pax definitely are entitled to the compensation. I had mine approved within a week of my flight :-)

    Qantas ticketing delays - likely risk of losing booking.

    I had issues with an AA ticket YUL-LGA. I booked it two weeks before the flight, it took a week before it got canned by AA, a call to reinstate it then 3 more calls up until the night before (11am flight) before it finally issued. Had issues with API, then taxes and then points. Fortunately...

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    Canada’s compensation regulation includes flights to and from Canada. Qantas provided a letter stating it was a delay due to the late arrival of an inbound aircraft (I only got this at YVR check in when I arrived and requested it - Qantas is meant to provide all passengers with a reason for the...

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    My apologies I missed it. Is the main reason high utilisation of B787s and all out of place? Any reason why YVR seems to be particularly badly affected? Will see what QF says tomorrow at check in, but will affect Canadian compensation laws depending on reason.
