stopovers and transit

I have booked JAL Syd-Haneda mid May arriving 5.05pm. I wish to overnight in a proper hotel room to depart next day at 10.40am to Paris. Current info (25/2/22) seems to be no o/n transit allowed outside of the airport. Any advice ? Plan another route ? Stay inside airport in transit room and...

How are tier points calculated for long haul flights that involve a stopover? For example, according to the calculator on the BA website, LHR to SYD is 240 under any of the business code (R, I, J, C, D). However (at this point in time), no airline flys that route non-stop. Qantas and BA...

We are booked in April ADL-SIN arriving 15:10 then at 09:00 next day SIN-LHR. With airside Aerotel reservation but can't find information about whether our bags can be booked straight through to LHR or whether we have to collect them and recheck them the morning of the LHR flight. Would...

I'm currently exploring some alternative travel options after my honeymoon attempt #3 has been impacted by the CX cuts. I've got the Qantas multi-city tool offering me flights from SYD-KUL on MH and KUL-DOH on QR with 75mins between flights. I've seen a lot about general transit allowances...

My daughter that came from London to Sydney had a return flight from Qantas cancelled by South african call centre person after asking what is the refund value. At no time cancel was discussed and after complaining to call centre supervisor, they have put the booking back on active list. Knowing...

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.

It seems one of my board meetings is pushing ahead with a trip early next year to the USA, Atlanta. I need to purchase and be reimbursed for the airfare (business class eligible). There is a Plan B for later in 2022 if travel shuts, so I could use a credit for plan B travel. However, I don't...

As a generalisation, putting together a multi-stop awards fare needing 5 or more stages, can covid restrictions be lessened by differing degrees of either transit or stopover but still qualifying as a stage? Presumably an airport hotel is an entry into a country.

Hi All, I have a AY -> QF transit booked at LAX. Obviously the usual protocols apply with respect to immigration/bag claim/customs/bag drop/TSA. Has anyone done this lately and can they enlighten with respect to any additional steps to check PCR results/ATD? I'm expecting that these are all...

As we get ready for outbound travel, Australian travellers need to consider beforehand, how to provide their immunization status to meet varying country requirements. The format and content of the current Australian Government COVID-19 Digital Certificate appears problematic and likely...

Are we allowed to transit COVID zero fiefdoms when departing on International flights? Based in CBR, I know that I can drive to SYD without issues, if going straight to the airport. But is something like CBR-(BNE or MEL)-International allowed? Do I need to apply for permission from the...

What a schemozzle.. looking at a trip from clean, disease-free Tas to nearly equally clean WA. Not many choices on flts and many of them are transits thru Mel. Thats alright, last time I checked Mel transit was OK for most other states - just don’t leave the airport between flights and it won’t...

Sorry if this has been asked before but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere: Are domestic passengers allowed to transit through an airport in a city or state that is in lockdown? Sometimes there are no direct flights from point A to point B and one may have to transit through an airport...

Hi all, I currently have a booking in J from BNE - SYD - CHC return in mid October. With the bubble on pause and NSW covid numbers out of control at the moment, does anyone have any first hand knowledge of transit rules? Can you transit through SYD airport without having to quarantine or...

I booked a Virgin flight from Perth to Hobart this coming September transiting through Melbourne for 2 hours, this is my first domestic flight since the start of this pandemic I did however travel from Perth to C.I but that was relatively straight forward. Assuming this Covid drama haven't been...

Quick question to the brains trust on transit times. My wife and I are relocating to the USA in a few weeks, and have had tickets booked by my employer when our travel exemption and vaccinations were finalised. (What a ride that process was!) We find ourselves on a MEL->SYD->LAX->SEA flight...

Hi. Anyone know what the transit process is for SYD international? Do i need to do a two week quarantine in SYD? If not, is there a limit on how long i can stay in the airport? I’m looking to book travel from POM-SYD-DXB.

Can anyone speak to the transit experience in Brisbane for international travel. I am arriving in Brisbane from PNG, then taking a flight to Dubai. I have a layover of 12 hours, which is outside the 8 hours I am allowed to remain in the departure lounges. Apparently, I need to therefore...

Any news on transit restrictions in ADL when going to ASP? Qantas reservations was no help (Contact government). The NT government 1800 number is not accessible from WA. The Adelaide airport has no transit information (that I found). SO - If we transit ADL, what are the current NT restrictions...
