    I have a 3 segment "married" partner award on AA: MTY - DFW 16:26 19:15 80 minutes connection time. This was not my choice, I was forced into accepting this routing after I got a schedule change email and ran into a married segment issue. They wouldn't let me change this flight to either...

    BNE with Connection in SYD to NAN

    This isn’t something I was worried about before. But I’m getting spooked by the horror stories on the news. If I remember correctly, we have to go outside the domestic terminal and get a bus to the international terminal for the Fiji flight. Will they do the whole check in with vax certs and...

    How full are flights these days?

    I booked a window seat in the mid 50's rows in hopes that not only will I get a row to myself but not have people directly in front or behind me. The seat maps from BNE and even SIN-IST are looking pretty wide open in Y.

    Pre-flight RAT test for transit pax and documentation

    SQ has the following rules for transit pax. Other than Histopath, can any GP do this and issue the documenation it requires? What have others done? I am going to Turkey so there is no test requirement for double vaxxed. I only have to comply with SQ rules.
