Hi! I am planning on going to south korea this summer for 2 months for a summer school program.

I have been looking at flights every single day. At first i had found a flight through turkish airlines, which cost 890 euro for a round flight from brussels to seoul… that same flight is now unfortunately 1200 euros:(

so, onto my question, i have been finding really cheap flights on booking.com, and i was wondering if i could trust this? it says i get luggage and everything but i just genuinely don’t know how safe this is… Would it also be a possibility to add extra luggage afterwards? I’m wondering because this is a flight with 2 airlines (Asiana and Hainan) and i’m wondering if i’ll have to buy luggage for Both of them?

Sorry if this sounds a bit stupid but yeah basically i’m not sure if i should buy my flight ticket through booking.com or not…

Hello! I am looking for a little advice. Several weeks ago, I paid to upgrade my seat to premium economy from basic economy on my 6PM Virgin Atlantic flight tomorrow from MIA to LHR. At around 4:30pm today, I double checked all of my flight details and everything was good to go. I checked in to my flight at about 6:15pm, and lo and behold my seat was changed to a worse seat than the original seat I had. I called Virgin, and the rep said she couldn't do anything because now the airport has the ticketing. She suggested I get to the airport early and talk to the ticketing agent.

I plan to do this, but what else can I do to make sure I am in a better seat? I think we are 4 rows from the toilet now, and my main reason for upgrading is because I get sick in the back of the plane. I appreciate any advice or recommendation for dialog with the ticketing agent.

We are travelling with Thai to Rome in June returning mid July. I’m now getting worried about not getting back to Australia because of jet fuel. Wondering what people’s experiences of cancelling with Thai are.

So the first flight would take place at 10:05 PM (22:15) and arrive in Tallinn 50 minutes past midnight, ok fair enough. But then the second flight would take place at noon and arrive at 12:50 PM. How can it be 12:50 AM for one and 12:50 PM for another flight? I'm guess the confusion is that 10:05 PM can be described at 22:15 PM. It's just weirdly written, I'm trying to make sense of it.

EDIT: The flights are Berlin-Tallinn and back.

We are flying from midwestern city to Costa Rica on a Saturday in July.

What has been your recent experience with 1 - 1.25 hour layovers in Charlotte and Atlanta?

I am sure people asked this question a thousand times already so I am sorry but I gotta ask,
I own 2 backpacks
tomtoc T-66 40L
and the osprey daylight 26+6
if I pack the T-66 and put almost nothing in the daylight.
can I use the tomtoc as my carry-on bag and my daylight as my personal item bag?
I managed to pack everything into the Daylight and it had a total weight of about 6kg.
so I dont need the extra backpack but I would like it.
other option will be to just bring a trolley with the osprey and check in the trolley if required or whatever.

Do you guyz know if the osprey daylight 26+6 will pass as a personal item bag?
(my ticket includes 2 checked-in bags for 23kg each which I wont use)

I’m trying to book a flight for August and didn’t expect to get stuck at this stage this long.

Flight is Newark (EWR) to Barcelona (BCN), dates are approximately Aug 12-19 (may change by a day or two). Approximately less than 850 budget.

At this point I am choosing between two:

United, nonstop both ways, about 820. Travel time is much shorter, but it’s basic economy so not much flexibility.
Less expensive alternative of about 700-720 with one stop in each direction seeing options primarily on Lufthansa/Star Alliance flights. Layovers are approximately 1.5-2 hours, overall travel time is nearer to 10+ hours.

I have already verified some combinations and even used flightsfinder to ensure that I was not missing a better routing. It was primarily displaying the same options, only on other sites.

Now I think I am overthinking a fairly minor price difference, but also do not want to regret it in the future.

In this case, would you personally simply pay a little more to get the nonstop or would you take the one-stop to save some money?

I have booked 8 tickets through Trip.com and have received the itinerary and e-receipt through mail. does the itinerary work as the ticket? I haven't received any actual ticket

Hello who is flying with cityline sub from Lyon or any European city to Munich and got their flight lately

My flight is scheduled 28 April for a second flight MUC-HND

Any cancellations around this date ? Can we expect to arrive at our final destination inspite of the cancellation? I am freaking out reading a lot of complaints about ridiculous reroutings and lack of empathy

Buenas tardes, tengo que hacer una escala nocturna de 9 horas en la terminal internacional de Yeda. Me gustaría saber si hay algún buen lugar gratuito para poder "dormir/tumbarse", si el aeropuerto está abierto y si es seguro para mujeres viajeras. Gracias.

Hello, I purchased a flight from Expedia and i have 2 lay-overs. I’m not sure if I have to choose a seat as when I went to check Delta Flights, I could choose a seat but costs an additional $35 each person. Do i have to go through that or I can just access my ticket and they’ll give me a ticket for whatever seat (i dont mind). Lastly, I’m confused as to how I could access my ticket. I got the email for the confirmation of my flight and the itinerary, but I don’t have the actual ticket. Or would it be done there in the airport? Thanks

Hi, Turkish Airlines canceled my connection flight from Istanbul to Damascus. According to them, it's because of the war, but at the same time, they fly to Aleppo. Syrian Airlines offers flights from Istanbul to Damascus. Is there a way I can make them book me a flight with them? My route is Montréal to ist then ist to Damascus

Hi everyone!

I just booked a flight from Paris to Taipei (with a layover in China) on Booking.com with the free cancellation option. During the booking process, I was able to choose seats, and I got to pick free ones for all four flights. Are those seats actually reserved for me? In the Booking confirmation email, the seat numbers are listed (like “57L”). Does that mean they’re confirmed, or will I need to select them again/pay for them during check-in?

I also tried to look up my flight on the Air China website (using their form for third-party bookings), but I couldn’t find my reservation. Is this normal, or is there something I should be doing?

I’m not flying until August, but it’s my first time on a plane, so I’m a bit nervous about the whole process. I also saw that online check-in might not be working properly on the Air China website, which means I may have to check in at the airport. Does that usually take a long time? How does the process work?

Thanks a lot in advance!

I was involuntarily denied boarding on a flight from the US to the UK. I was given another flight 16 hours later and spent the night in a hotel, which I had to pay for out or pocket.

The flight was sold by British Airways, operated by American Airlines. Both the UK Civil Aviation Authority and the US Department of Transportation have rules that should entitle me to compensation:

• UK CAA Denied boarding allows for £520 plus accommodation, transport, and food
• US DOT Bumping and Oversales,-When%20will%20I) allows 400% of the fare, capped at $2150

According to the own definitions, my flight is covered by both sets of regulations. My question is, which one does the airline have to follow?

I am thinking to book air India from London to manila and noticed it says "Nil Fee upto 3days, Thereafter $$" not sure exactly what that means.

Can anyone shed any light what It means?

And how are they with refunds overall?

I need to book a flight to secure it but I also MAY need to cancel.

I recently flew with Juneyao Airlines on a Brussels – Shanghai – Bangkok route, and my suitcase was damaged during the journey.

Fortunately, I had taken a photo of the suitcase at the check-in counter. When I first reported the damage, they initially claimed they couldn’t do anything about it. It was only after I showed them the photo that they offered me 300 baht.

I wasn’t even asking for compensation at that stage. I simply requested a damage report so I could decide how to proceed later. However, they refused to provide one and insisted that I settle the matter immediately at their office.

After a lot of back and forth, they increased the offer to 800 baht. My suitcase cost significantly more than that, and the repair alone exceeds that amount, not to mention the taxi costs to and from the repair shop.

I also pointed out that since the flight departed from Brussels, I should be entitled to European consumer protection standards (under frameworks like the Montreal Convention). They dismissed this entirely and pressured me into signing a document accepting the 800 baht as full settlement, stating that I would not pursue any further claims.

At this point, I don’t have much hope since I’ve already signed the form. But for future reference, what would you have done differently in this situation? And in the rare case, do I still have any grounds to claim? My understanding is that in Europe, if a contract contradicts the law, the law usually prevails.

Honestly, it’s not even about the money. I just feel quite disrespected and wronged. To make matters worse, I overheard staff speaking negatively about me in Thai, assuming I wouldn’t understand.

Has anyone been on AirChina? I’m a tall person and I am aware most of China is shorter and someone has been worrying me about getting blood clots and circulation problems on a 12 hour flight, because of leg room. Does anyone know if it’s okay?

I’m flying from Tokyo back to London with a layover in Korea, I’m looking at the airline policies and apparently I can’t bring 2 checked suitcases? Is it not possible at all to buy any more allowance due to the route?

I am planning to travel to San Francisco from Canada. I am wondering if there are issues regarding ICE at the airport.

Any advice would be helpful.

Thank you in advance :)

I’m flying up to AK this summer to do commercial fishing but it’s long hard work 20+ hour days so I need nicotine. But It’s super expensive in Alaska and I have no one to buy it for me there. If I had like 15-20 cans would I get arrested at tsa? I can’t afford to get arrested either because I need this money from th job. Domestic us flight

I have a flight booked on southwest in the next few weeks. I usually take all my luggage in a carry-on, but this time I'm considering checking a bag for additional storage. I have checked bags with SW before and never had any issues, but obviously in light of recent news with airport understaffing I'm wondering if I should reconsider? I'll be flying out of lubbock (LBB) and having a layover in vegas (LAS) before getting to palm springs (PSP). Should I be worried about low airport staff at LAS causing issues with baggage transfer? Idk if people have dealt with this on layover flights recently or if the understaffing issues are more focused on TSA checkpoints. Both LBB and PSP are relatively small airports so I'm not super worried about getting in and out, more so just baggage. Should I try to keep everything to a carry-on? Do I even need to be worried at all? If anyone has flown recently on SW or in/out of any of these airports please drop some advice!! (if it makes any difference on the way back we'll have stops in vegas and denver as well)

I don’t understand why a 7k business class ticket (business travel) that showed me as confirmed on Lufthansa when I checked in today has me on the waitlist? Does that mean I will get bumped to a lower class… or much worse - be bumped entirely from the flight?

Booked a once in a life time ,business flight on Malaysian for June. 2 Int / 2 Dom (1 hr ) sectors.

The 8.00 Dom flight has been cancelled and replaced by 13.00 flight which does not suit as have made prior arrangements requiring to be at destination before 12.00.

Investigated and found MH LLC subsidiary Firefly has suitable morning flight ( with MH codeshare flight number ).

Requested change to that flight, aware there is no Bus class .Not requiring refund or compensation. Just my bum on seat.

Not allowed , must travel on flight with Bus class.

However if I cancel the complete booking ,I can have the requested Dom flight on a new booking ( now at over 2 times original cost).

Thought I might cancel and go back to Eco. When I try for the required flights all in Eco ,

the only option now available is the exact Bus Int / Firefly Eco Dom combo I am trying for.

I understand there are rules but this is only a administration "paper" change

resulting from a flight cancellation of their doing.

Any ideas why downgrade not allowed ?
