stopovers and transit

Have heard BA-CX on 1 ticket was required to collect luggage, clear immigration and re-check at Shanghai. But on MU-MU international I assume this shouldn't be required? Some Reddit comments say MU-MU is fine but would like a more concrete understanding of the process.

I have a J class flight on CX coming up, from Melbourne to Hongkong and then onto Madrid. We arrive in HK around 7AM and would depart around 10PM. Is it practically feasible to try to use the lounge on arrival to have a shower and breakfast before heading out to HK city and then later come back...

Hi all, Hoping that some Japan regulars on the forum could help me decide how I should spend my day in Tokyo. For context, I'm travelling with a family member and we've both been to Japan a few times. This transit is just at the start of the trip and we will return to Japan to spend some time...

Had a good search but wasn't able to find anything on this specific topic - I'm looking at booking a flight home from Hanoi on SQ, and I want to have a night in Singapore on the way home for speedy sightseeing and a real bed. SQ191 and SQ245 are my ideal sectors, and are available on the...

I'm going to book PER-CNX return on SQ departing Boxing Day as there are more SQ flights out of PER as airfares are almost $500 cheaper per person and there are 3 of us. Will use Velocity and/or QFF points to get to/from PER from BNE. Have already booked BNE-PER on VA Christmas Day arriving...

Hi Everyone, I booked a flight from Brisbane - Reykjavik and didn't closely read into the stop-overs when I purchased the ticket with my frequent flyer points. My flight schedule is: Brisbane - Tokyo (Narita) 10:30-18:45 (Sunday) Tokyo (Haneda) - Helsinki 21:50 - 04:40 (Sunday - Monday) My...

That is a mightily impressive record! https://viewfromthewing.com/30-years-not-a-single-lost-bag-osaka-kansais-unmatched-record-puts-u-s-airports-to-shame/

I'm a huge fan of airport lounges which have outdoor terraces - mainly for the fresh air, but especially if there's a view of the runway! My favourite is probably the Lufthansa Senator Lounge in Hamburg, which also has German beer on tap. I also recently discovered the outdoor seating area...

Hi Everybody, I had a AA award booked with QF from SFO-LAX-SYD. I just had an email from QF changing the SFO-LAX leg, this will only give me 54 minutes transit time in LAX. I'm not to sure what I should do here so would welcome your advice. is 54 mins enough? and if its not what's the best...

Hi All, I've never actually transited through Sydney on an INTL - INTL connection, but will be doing so next month. Arriving in from CGK around 0630 and then out again to the US at 1700. I'm pretty keen to head into town for the day but don't want to carry luggage around. Given its all one...

Hello, I'm not sure if this mentioned somewhere else (please merge thread if that would be more appropriate). I've got what would normally be a connecting flight from USA, through DOH, to Australia but purchased on separate points tickets (separate points currencies) with a transit time of 3...

Hi everyone, We will be transit for 4.5 hrs in Incheon airport on Fri from 3.20pm till 8pm. Flying with Asianna. We got Star Alliance Gold status so have access to lounges. Originally plan to use SG Kris Flyer lounge but find out they close between 4.30 till 8.45pm. I guess we can use SG...

I'm thinking about booking a CX ticket from HKG to MNL that would give me 2 hours 40 minutes to make a connection to an EY flight. Both fights at T3 and in business class on separate Tix. Anyone had recent experience of a similar transit at MNL T3? What are the chances of making it? Normally I...

I know interline on separate tickets is a hot mess....just hoping someone might have some first hand experience. So first flight is CI58 MEL TPE landing at 0445. Next flight is CX450 departing TPE at 1250. Both awards, separate bookings though from QFF & QR avios. Obviously I can clear...

I have booked an YIA-DPS domestic flight on GA and a DPS-SIN one on KL a few hours later. Questions are if GA will thru check bags on a domestic to interntaional connection at DPS and on a separate ticket. Is DPS such an airport that will transfer bags between different carriers like most other...

I have booked a reward flight with Jetstar to DPS and transit to TPE with China Airlines. Anyone knows if I needed to go through immigration to pickup luggage and also pay visa fee+tourist tax ? I wonder if Jetstar will check through my luggage to China airlines too. Much appreciated if anyone...

Hi all, a few things here so bear with me, but would appreciate your views/advice or knowledge/info you may be able to offer. I received a flight change from Qantas saying that my Latam flight LA476 departing EZE to SCL has been moved from a night departure (LA476) to 12pm (LA420), making my...

We arrive in Doha around midnight and depart the following day at 8PM - we are travelling on an award ticket (issued by AA) MAD-DOH (J) - DOH-SYD (F). I tried to request a transit hotel via the QR website but it does not work (won't let me complete the nationality field) so cannot be submitted...

Hi everyone, trying to book a trip to Europe from MEL via DXB on QF number and staying in Dubai for a few days on both legs for work and friends. Somehow the QF website multi city booking tool only shows layovers (less than 24h) and no stopovers (more than 24h) are possible. Calling the QF...

Hi all! I want to ask the hive mind for advice. For an upcoming trip I've got two rewards tickets, but they're separately booked, so I am looking for a sense check that I'll have enough time to make my connection. Flight 1: HKG to ICN, CX418 scheduled to arrive 19:15 (T1 as far as I can tell)...
