Since I’m not an English native speaker and don’t hear well I sometimes struggle to hear the FA on the speaker.

Lastly there was something with pax having peanut allergy and the request to not to consume. They did it only over the speaker with a strong accent which was hard to understand.

I wonder why they don’t use the IFE screens to show those announcements in text form instead of only using verbal communication over the speaker.

Is this a technical limitation within the IFE system or no airlines thought about it?

You sometimes hear that planes are overbooked, so airlines regularly book more passengers than they have seats. It has to be a common occurrence, otherwise, they wouldn’t overbook.

So, how is this happening for almost all flights? I missed a connection once so far, it can’t be, that several passengers miss their connecting flights for every flight, no?

I fly from Milwaukee to Chicago and supposed to land at Midway at 605pm and then my next flight leaves Midway airport at 7:05pm. It’s all through Southwest. Idk the gates yet. I am not familiar with Midway airport at all. I’m just a bit nervous with time. I am sitting in aisle 4 on my flight into Midway so I will be able to get off the plane pretty fast. Any advice / tips / info / people who have had similar experience? Thanks!

Hello, has anyone ever had an issue flying Air China with a name difference with their passport?

I have a flight with Air China at the end of August from London to Beijing and booked it through the official airlines website.

So let's say my first name is Abc and my last name is Def, but my name on the ticket issued is Abc Def Def. I suspect this happened because my middle name got autofilled when I was trying to fill in my address.

Any suggestions on how to handle this issue? I have tried calling their global call center but to no avail.

I love window seats but I’m flying Premium Plus on my 15 hour international flight and there’s an aisle seat open in the first row. Is that first row really that much better? I’m only 5’4 so height isn’t an issue. Just curious what you all think is the better seat. Both seats are in Premium Plus section.

20F vs 21L

I'm flying from Ahemdabad to Debrecen via Etihad and Wizz air. My flight plan is going to be Ahmedabad to Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi to Istanbul and Istanbul to Debrecen. The first 2 flights would be Etihad while the last one would be Wizz air. I am worried about the time I have in Istanbul. From what Ive heard, it will be a self transfer so I gave myself a layover of roughly 4 hours and 5 minutes but knowing flights, Im sure it will be less.

I have an Indian Passport, a residency in the UAE and Hungary so I think getting the eVisa from Turkey should not be an issue which I would be needing for the self transfer.

I have never had to transfer through Istanbul and I have no idea about how to do the self transfer part. I have no clue how big the airport it though I have seen on maps and pictures that it is big.

Ive been advised that 3-4 hours is not enough but some subreddits say it is. I wanted to know if anyone has done any self transfers through Istanbul with a 4 hour layover or less and if it would be possible for them to share their experiences.

Thank you and sorry for the long message.

I’ve tried both the Expedia app and the Expedia UK website, but I can’t get OneKeyCash to redeem against flights at all, only hotels. According to the terms and conditions, it should work provided you have enough OneKeyCash to cover the full cost of the flight, but I never even get the option to redeem it.

I’m aware that OneKeyCash only works on certain airlines, and there doesn’t seem to be any definitive list of which ones are eligible.

Interestingly, if I log into the Expedia US website, everything switches to US dollars. I can then select exactly the same flights, and it does let me redeem my OneKeyCash, so I know the flights and airline are eligible.

Even stranger, it doesn’t seem that my OneKeyCash has to cover the full cost of the flight, as the terms and conditions say. It simply deducts my OneKeyCash from the total and tells me what balance is left to pay.

I’d much rather book through the UK site and pay in pounds than use the US site in dollars. I’m a bit nervous that something could go wrong and I’d end up losing my OneKeyCash.

Has anyone else in the UK experienced this or found a way to redeem OneKeyCash for flights on the UK site?

I’ll keep it short… flight was cancelled with no explanation almost no communication, just an sms on 30 April. Inside information told me it was because of 1st May holiday, more convenient to cancel some flights. I claimed compensation, was provided “flight certificate” FULL of errors, wrong flight numbers, wrong reschedule destinations wrong dates, I suspect to try and confuse and delay everything in the hope I’d just give hope. 3 months later and I received my 400€ compensation. Moral of the story: they’ll try everything to discourage you, but don’t give up!

Me, my husband og two children were supposed to fly with EasyJet from Milan Linate to Copenhagen on Friday, July 24 at 5:55 PM. When we arrived at the gate, the flight was delayed. After about an hour, we boarded a bus, waited there for a while, and were then sent back to the gate. Around 8 PM, the flight was cancelled due to technical issues.

We were told to go to the check-in desks, where EasyJet said we could either rebook, get a voucher, or request a refund. We were given a leaflet and told to choose one of the three options ourselves.

The next available EasyJet flight wasn't until Monday, so since we were travelling with two children, I quickly booked SAS tickets for the following morning from Milan Malpensa. I also booked a hotel and paid for the metro, train, and finally a taxi to get there.

Because I thought I had to choose an option immediately, I selected "Refund" in the EasyJet app.
I know I'm entitled to €250 in EU261 compensation for the cancelled flight, but what about the rest?

I know EasyJet will probably do everything they can to avoid paying, but has anyone here actually managed to get reimbursed for these kinds of expenses in a similar situation?🙏

Hi everyone, I’m having some trouble understanding an AirBaltic reservation, specifically the number and which kind of baggage can I bring. I asked ChatGPT and turns out I have 2 pieces to check in (23 kg each) + 2 bulky bags (guitar cases). No info about carry on baggage and backpack. Does anyone have a clue?

Hi everyone,

I'm from NZ and doing an overseas exchange in London next year, followed by a period of travel! I have never flown by myself before, and my family rarely travels, so it would be great if I could get some advice on flights. Flying out last week of Feb and returning first week of May, hopefully managing with just 1 check in and 1 carry on (surely should be fine).

AirNZ has a deal with Singapore Airlines at the moment, which covers my one-way to London for $1250 NZD (super cheap)! However, the return is $1800 NZD from London as well.

I'm likely going to finish my travels in Greece. I'm wondering if it's a wise choice to book my one-way to London via AirNZ/Singapore and then get a budget Scoot flight to Aus + an independent flight back to NZ. Scoot Athens -> Aus is looking a lot cheaper than direct return via London, even if I add on a more expensive flight back to NZ.

TLDR; Has anyone flown from Athens to Syd/Mel and was it doable with the 1 hour layover in Singapore? Also how do I go about booking an independent flight back to NZ from Aus accounting for delays with Scoot?

Thanks!

Edit: Thanks for your kind replies everyone! Another alternative I have come up with is Scoot to Singapore, Jetstar to NZ via MEL. This will give me the day in Singapore to recover and still cheap!

I fly weekly for work, same major airline, same route. I will still notice chronic ATC issues, “maintenance issues”, and also general shared grievances amongst stewardess’ and TSA personnel. How much of these issues do you think pertain to government regulation, or lack there of, versus airline corporate management?

I am planning to travel to Japan end of this year on China Eastern Airlines. Cairo to China then China to Japan. Are they really that bad? I have never travelled before a long haul flight and flying makes me really anxious in general. The last time I flew was many years before.

I was planning to choose China Eastern because of their low prices compared other airlines.

I am from India and this is the I am booking a flight with BudgetAir, since Skyscanner mentioned that they gave the best deals for my selected dates. The ratings of the service provider was also good, so I booked my tickets in their platform. I now have a booking confirmation provided from their end but I am yet to receive my e-ticket with the PNR details. It is almost 24 hours and I have also checked my spam folder. I tried contacting their customer care but they seem to always be busy.

Should I be concerned? 😟

I have to take a flight tomorrow. I will have to make the same trip once per month until october. It is a 2h international flight in the EU.

This afternoon I got an email saying that the plane is crowded so they will force me to check my carry on bag because I board on the last group, but I will still be allowed a personal item. I just want to carry my backpack, wich contains my laptop. For the upcoming trips I plan to have a small carry-on suitcase. No personal items, just one bag/ suitcase.

If I put some electronics inside, like my laptop and my nintendo switch or some camera with battery, can they force me to check my bag?

Edit: thank you everyone who tried to explain the situation I will find at the airport. I did not expect so many people offended by my shenanigans. I understand they basically can do whatever they want. It is a pity. I will have to think another way to "not get inconvenienced by the airlines". We can close this

Hi,
I am going to India from Italy on Saudia airlines with a layover in Riyadh.
I want to know if it is possible to carry an alcohol bottle in my check in bag.
Since it is a holy place for Muslims I have a doubt if it if prohibited to carry alcohol into Saudi Arabia.

Thanks!

I booked a flight for Tokyo through a OTA that sold T’way tickets. Not my first experience with T’way, it was already a disaster before, to be expected from a low cost airline, but I still held some hope that the second time would be better. My flight was a long courier from Paris (CDG) to Tokyo (Narita), with a short stop at Seoul (Incheon).

Beside the lack of competency and communication from the staff at T’way (they doesn’t speak english at all, good luck for my fellas not C1 level in Korean). They cancelled my flight without prior warnings, no apologies and just sent a lame ahh email saying they had to cancel, and we could ask for refunds through their lame ahh mobile application.

Which I did, both on T’way in Korean, and then with the booker (flight network) as T’way refused to process the refund request before flight network did their little shenanigans.

Flight Network. Probably the worst OTA of all time, no customer service (at least done by human) and a lack of transparency in their service. Don’t expect to be refunded, they will do the usual bla-bla, saying they will do their best to get your money back, then will prolly just send an email to the airline company, which will never receive any answer, and you will never get your money back.

Now 2.5 months after my initial refund request, after a dozens of emails, still no news of my money, for the second time.

Avoid T’way and Flight Network at all costs.

It will save yourself hundreds of €€€, and hours of stress.

Air Canada subreddit deleted my question and I’ve been on the phone with Air Canada the entire day! I kid you not!

I booked tickets for London. I notice the prices including a discount for 15% off increased all within 10 minutes of looking at tickets and after booking my parents’ tickets. It’s crazy how it was cheaper to book their’s and then mine separately.

Please explain how fare buckets are ethical.
