    I think I messed up ESTA application - clicked 'Yes' to transit question when we're staying 3 days

    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...

    Sri Lankan (UL) stopover hotel. (STPC process). You get what you pay for…

    …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...

    Intl to Dom Transit - SYD vs BNE

    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.

    KL Transit Time / MH126 J Class Review

    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...

    Mumbai hotel for day use?

    Hi guys, any hotel recommendations for day use in Mumbai? From 7.30am-7.30pm; perhaps around Marine Drive Colaba? To have a bit of an explore/shop/rest, (my first time there). I’m on my own, so thought I’d arrange transfers to and from a hotel, rather than having to negotiate taxis

    My mother booked flights with tight connections in BNE

    My mum recently booked a flight with virgin to bali, and a 1hr 15m stopover in brisbane. I was wondering if that's enough (SYD-BNE-DPS)

    Transit/Stopover in BKK

    I've checked the stopover guide for BKK, a lot of which seems pre-pandemic. Can't see anything really relevant. Situation: Apart from domestic and trans-Tasman flights, I've gone nowhere since early 2019. Next month I'm flying to and from Edinburgh. Using some of the resources here I was able...

    Risk 1hr 5min ZRH stopover for F reward?

    I'm looking at QFF reward with BA cityflyer LCY - ZRH; 1 hr 5min stopover then F reward with EK. If the first leg is late and I miss my flight, do Qantas have to find me a new flight? I would have 23 hrs then to get to DXB (if I missed it) to get to my next connecting flight. Zurich airport...

    Coming home from Europe via Kuwait, UAE & Ethiopia

    I've been travelling between Australia and Europe quite regularly over the past decade. It's a long trip, so I usually try to break it up and enjoy a stopover (or four) along the way. I also love getting the chance to visit more unusual places. The journey is just as important as the...

    Arriving off SIN-JFK Terminal 4 at 18:50 We're flying onwards JFK-BOS. Thought we were smart by booking a Delta Airlines flight as it flies through the same terminal - booked a 22:30 flight. Unfortunately Delta Airlines has just emailed us our flight has been cancelled and that our flight's been...

    Transit in LAX/Immigration

    I am looking at booking a paid ticket Syd-JFK via LAX using SkyScanner. It would be operated by AA, codeshare QF & BA. The transit time in LA is only 90mins which feels a bit scary but, worse, I have been someone (who may not really know) that you have to offload the luggage in LAX and go...
