    Transit at Changi on 2 separate redemption tickets

    Hi Does anybody know if I can transit in Changi and get my luggage ticketed to final destination, when flying from Europe to Australia on 2 separate SQ redemption bookings. Would it also work if the Australia leg was on a paid Scoot ticket?

    Just wanted to check if anyone is aware of Fiji Airways providing complimentary transit hotel for transits beyond a certain time? I ask on behalf of a relative who is flying from Melbourne to Toronto (via Nadi and Los Angeles) and has a 12 hour transit in Nadi. Appreciate any advice or help given!

    Denpasar International Transit (Airside and Landside options)

    Hi All, I've come across the following flights, they'd all be on the same ticket (UA award ticket) with just a 2hr 5min transit in Denpasar. Is there even an airside transit facility in Bali? and is this too risky? The other option is a 9am flight from Singapore that leaves a 9hr layover in Bali.

    What’s YOUR minimum transit time?

    I’ve had a domestic flight change before my international one. BNE-SYD now due to land at 17:45 with SYD-YVR scheduled to depart at 20:30 It feels too close to me, but am I just nervous / overreacting? What would be your comfort gap to transit from a domestic flight to international one?
