stopovers and transit

I recently flew on a United award ticket BKK-MEL-CBR, with the first leg on Thai Airways and the second leg on Virgin Australia. All on one ticket with a same-day transit in MEL. According to the Thai Airways website (and ExpertFlyer), TG and VA are interline partners. When I checked in at BKK...

We have flights PER SIN. 12 hours later SIN TYO, 10 hours transit hotel booked. Can we check in suitcase from PER SIN TYO

I was on the avianca website today, and noticed a banner at the top of the home page saying "Beginning October 23rd, passengers from certain nationalities connecting through El Salvador will have to pay a new Airport Improvement Tariff." Now, that in alone doesn't seem like a huge deal. But...

I recently found out that travellers doing international transit at Taipei Taoyuan (TPE) airport originating from the USA no longer need to go through security before connecting onto their next international flight. https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/front/archives/2023/07/21/2003803508...

apologies if this has already been discussed. I am on QF1 into Heathrow, hopefully at around 6.30am on 8 November, with a transit before a BA flight to Dublin. The BA flight leaves T5 at around 13.30 and I'm hoping this is enough time for the transit bearing in mind QF1's atrocious delays. I am...

I've just booked a United business class award which involves a long transit at MEL (10 pm to 7 am). It hardly seems worth booking a hotel for what would be about 4-5 hours sleep at most, so I was wondering if it would be possible to go airside around midnight, given that I will have checked in...

Hi All!! We had been planning a longer trip to Europe with two of our adult children, but we couldn’t get everyone to agree on timing, destinations etc. My wife, however, had already booked her holidays with her employer, and they are always difficult to deal with regarding changes to leave. So...

I'll soon be embarking on a journey from BNE to LAS with a layover at YVR.6.5 hr My flight will arrive at YVR at 06:50 AM, and the LAS flight departs at 1:20 PM. In terms of timing, I have plenty of time to catch a train to the city and enjoy brunch in the Gasworks area. However, I'm unsure...

Does anyone know the current visa transit requirements for China and if it is possible to transfer international to international at PEK without going land side. I have been to PEK before but it was arrival or departure, international to domestic and the other way around and have always had a...

I’m flying from Sydney to Singapore via Jakarta airport (CGK). My layover is 3 hours and I’ll have to change terminals, does anyone know if I need a transit visa? If I do need one, how do I go about it? Do I need to do it in advance or is it an 'on-arrival' visa? I've heard that visa on arrival...

We are transiting through HK on our way to Auckland on Cathay. We have 14hrs in HK. We are flying J inbound to HK and outbound. We’d like to freshen up on arrival in HK before heading into the city to explore. Could we go through transit security so that we can enter a lounge to shower and...

Hi AFF, new member here As the title suggests, has anyone tried the connection between NY JFK and Melbourne through Dallas Fort Worth? If yes what was your experience? How long did it take to make the connection and what were the steps/checks/lines involved? I have booked a Qantas flight...

Visiting USA for the first time and I did ESTA for 3 people a few days ago. For the question "Is your travel to the US occurring in transit to another country?" I put "Yes" because I misunderstood the question. Do I need to create all new ESTA applications and click 'No" now? I can't seem to...

…as with most things. Background: Family Scarlett headed to/from Asia to Europe for a couple of weeks during school holidays. UL flights booked CGK-CMB-CDG then return FRA-CMB-CGK in J. During the outbound there was a 10 hour transit in CMB so I contacted UL to see if there was still an STPC...

Bangkok Airport lounge access. What is the name(s) and can anyone use upon payment or does it have to be pre-booked. We have an 7 hour transit in October.

We are travelling BKK-SGN-MEL on bamboo airways in J (all on 1 ticket). We have a 11 hour transit in SGN, our flight from BKK arrives at 12:30 and the onward flight to melbourne departs at 23:40. I have read conflicting reports regarding lounge access in SGN when travelling on bamboo. We are...

Hello, My first time posting here - apologies in advance if this is not the correct forum to ask this question! I will be travelling from Sydney to Bogota via Santiago (and returning the same way) later in August. My Sydney-Santiago legs are with Qantas (codeshare with Latam). My...

Which is a better transfer experience? I have done SYD before and hate it, but I have an option via BNE too. I'd be flying to MEL.

I have asked this question elsewhere and been directed to the India Sub Forum. This is the closest option I can find but if there is such a thing, I'd love to know. In the meantime, I would appreciate some help with this... In 8 weeks, we are transiting Bangalore from QF to BA, in J, on the...

Hi everyone, I've made a late booking for an overseas trip and Malaysian Air were the only ones with J class reward seats. My transit time in KL is for 1 hour 35 minutes. Having a look on flight tracking history the flight PER to KLIA MH126 regularly runs late. Will 95 minutes be adequate for...
