We have some free airport lounge passes which we're looking to use at KL International Airport for an upcoming trip on Qatar Airways out of Terminal 1. We are struggling to find out if the flight will depart from the 'contact pier' or 'satellite' buildings in order to book out passes. The airline can only specify that we're flying out from terminal 1, so we still don't understand the difference between the 'contact pier' and 'satellite'. Has anyone completed this journey before/know of the answer?

Thanks!

I am booking a flight with a 2 year 4 month old and 1 year old. I wanted to buy separate ticket for 1 year old so we have three seats but Turkish website has no option to buy a seat for under two years old. I tried selecting two seat for 2-11 years but it gives error when I enter the age of 1 year old. I ended up buying three tickets from Expedia because they have an option of infant with seat. Did anyone run into same problem. How did you solve it? Did I make right choice with Expedia or you think Turkish won’t give me third seat because infant is less than two

I'm trying to go within the next few months, but I've never been on a flight longer than 3 hours. This is all so new to me. I keep getting different prices for different flights and then there's airlines I've never heard of. I haven't yet purchased a ticket because I'm not sure about what airline to take yet.

Hello reddit! I will be travelling from Toronto to Abu Dabhi to Mumbai in a few days, my carry on backpack is heavier than 8kgs and is a pain on my shoulders while walking. Is it safe to put an xbox wired controller, a wired mouse and other such non battery electronics in the checkin luggage or will i be in trouble?

Hey a few months ago sky scanner would show me the prices for direct flights for each day of the month, that way i could pick the cheapest one, but now it wont anymore ? Does anyone know why ?

On this same topic, ive always used skyscanner assuming i would find the cheapest flights through them, is there any other sites for cheap flights ?

Thanks

Essentially, I have a round trip international flight booked, with the departing flight leaving in <5 hours at 10:30AM. I had a really important matter come up that I need to tend to, and am hoping to head out later in the day. I see that the airline (jeju air) has seats available on a latter flight. But I am unable to change the flight online and their customer service line doesn't open until 9AM. does anyone know if a just over 1 hour notice will be enough to change my flight?

I can easily book a separate departing one-way flight to my destination. But I'm worried since my trip is a round trip, that if i am unable to change the departing flight and miss it, I may lose my return flight....

(details i know of trip so i follow rule 2:

from gatwick airport, london to i think somewhere in naples, italy. from 3rd to 6th of june)

i haven't flown in years and i'm really nervous/ anxious (mainly due to my anxiety/ panic disorder) to calm myself down i always listen to music and draw n stuff. these are the supplies i use. are they allowed on planes?:

.watercolour set- 12 pans (might not bring anyway) .mechanical pencil 0.5mm .spare graphite for pencil .crayons

will those cause any trouble for me at the airport?

also will the battery in my phone or headphones be an issue? i have an iphone se and i use sony headphones. do they use batteries or any other parts that'll be trouble for the airport?

sorry if the answer is obvious and i'm just being over cautious, i just really get embarrassed and stuff easily and don't wanna cause a fuss at the gate, especially in front of everyone else going on the trip.

any other advice at all? like what should i wear to the airport for least fuss.

thank you :)) have a great day

Hello everyone, this is my first time flying internationally. I’ve booked tickets from Delhi to NYC for the month of July (Etihad Airways). The flight takes off at 21:15 and arrives at 09:15 the next day. All the timings mentioned on tickets seems like IST but I was wondering if that’s the case or the flight times are mentioned in the local time zone from where the flight would take off.

P.S.: I know it’s a stupid question, but any help is appreciated.

Avianca is about half the price of everyone else for that date. It's hard to justify spending all the extra money.

But I booked with Avianca a few years ago (refundable) and had to cancel. It was a real hassle getting the refund. The website didn't work and telephone customer service was useless. I ended up having to contact my bank and get them to do a chargeback on my credit card. But otherwise I doubt I would have ever gotten the refund. I was patient and gave them months but to no avail. This is making me hesitate booking with them again, but I have to consider the cost savings too.

I want a refundable fare again this time as my travel plans could change.

Hello,

I booked a direct BatikAir KUL-SAW flight on 22nd of May on Agoda (I could not get the payment to work on Batik Air). BatikAir just sent me an email announcing that the flight is canceled due to ‘Operational Requirements’

I sent an email to both the airline and Agoda asking what are my options.

But generally how does this work? Is there any chance either Agoda or the airline will rebook me for free on a similar direct flight? What are my best chances to achieve this? I did not get any of the Agoda offered travel insurance, would that have helped in this case?

Thanks!

Hello! We are traveling to Egypt at the end of the month. One person, who already has the ticket, can't come, so we wanted to bring another person instead. We have a few problems:

1. We can't change the person's details on kiwi
2. The two airline companies won't change the details
3. We can't get a full refund, even if there's almost two weeks left till travelling

Can someone help us? Or should we just accept that we lose 230€? #urgent

EDIT: thank you all for your help, answers and tips, as an inexperienced traveller it means a lot to get these answers. Have a good one everybody!

I’m flying in July to various locations and through various carriers Saudi and emirates being two of them.

Am I allowed to take a powerbank that is 27,650mAh and is 99.5wh through hand luggage.

Also are AirTags allowed within checked luggage and hand luggage

So just to outline my itinerary details before I get to my question:

On the 15th April I flew with Air China From London Gatwick to Tokyo Narita with a 4 hour layover in Shanghai. This was absolutely fine, no problems. On the 26th April I return to London Heathrow, leaving Tokyo Haneda with a 2 hour and 50 minutes layover in Beijing.

The problem I see is that although 2 hours and 50 minutes is enough for a simple international transfer, it may not be enough to re-check bags, especially as we land around midday, peak hours at Beijing PEK. The last leg of the flight, Beijing -> London Heathrow, was for some reason booked on a different ticket. Air China support told me that we would have our bags checked through when going via Beijing, however we would need to reclaim and recheck via Shanghai. This ended up not being the case at all and we were checked through to the end when going via Shanghai, making the process very easy.

My worry is that the information they have given me is inaccurate, and we will end up not being checked through to London and subsequently running into chaos at Beijing, missing a flight, and being delayed 24+ hours stuck in Beijing. This is not something I want, and if this is going to be the case I would rather begrudgingly book new flights back to the UK to avoid major issues.

Does anyone know if Air China have checked through even if the final leg is on a different ticket? The flight is still with Air China, and the ticket number is only 1 number higher than our other ticket. The first leg of the journey back is on the same ticket as both legs here. Any advice would be appreciated so I can get it sorted ASAP and continue enjoying the rest of my holiday!

Me and my family of 6 with 10 luggages and had a return flight from Jeddah Saudi Arabia to Doha, Qatar, then from Doha to Los Angeles. We arrived 3 hours on the dot to the check-in area where it was crowded. The staff at the counter were the Jeddah Airport staff and not Qatar Airways staff, and when it was finally our time, our person had an issue scanning my wife’s passport. After trying to a few times they called whom I’m assuming is the manager, and he said to have “stay on the side” as they cleared the people behind us. We were sidelined for maybe 30 minutes until the staff was switched. At this point we told them why we were sidelined but they still made us go to the back of the line. Now we’re panicking because it was about an hour and 15 minutes until the flight time when we arrived to the counter. We’re midway through checking in and put the luggage on the scale to get weighed when the manager of the new shift comes and says sorry you guys are late we have to close the check in for our flight pattern. A shouting match ensues, and at this time it’s about an hour till our flight. The manager rudely mocks us and says we should have come earlier (duh). We explain but they don’t care and tell us to pick up the baggage they themselves put on the scale and conveyor belt and tell us to move past and to call Qatar Airways customer support. We do that and long story short they have us reschedule and pay an additional $6000 for the 6 of us in charges to book the next flight.

I went to the Qatar Airways customer service desk when we arrived in Doha airport from our new flight, and they directed me to the flight ransfer desk, but because our flight to Doha was delayed (the irony) we didn’t have enough time to get to the transfer desk and were afraid we’d miss our connecting flight to Los Angeles so we instead checked in for our flight.

This occurred two days ago and we do not know what to do. I have penned an email to the Jaddah airport to explain our situation and they said they are investigating. What process does Qatar Airways have for this? We booked the flight through a travel agency, would they be able to help? $6,000, even though it is spread across our 6 family members, is not a small amount of money to lose.

Last night I booked two round trip tickets with Delta on their website. Trip protection, classic, seat selection. The total came out to $1,239, paid it, came right out of my account. Downloaded their app, input the confirmation #, boom.. flight came right up, two seats reserved, round trip.

Look at my account today for some reason the charge dialed back to $573. Refresh the app and still two seats, two names. I’m gonna call em but I’m just worried if I call them instead of charging me again they’ll take one person off the rez and I I’m not about about to book the same flight for a potentially higher price. Does anyone know what they do in these cases? Do they charge for the flight or take away a ticket?

Additionally, what’s the likelihood that someone figures out that I have two tickets for the price of one if I don’t take any action on it and let it ride? Any help or guidance I could get I would be very grateful.

So I currently have a flight from Manila to LAX with a stopover in Singapore. The stopover is supposed to be for 11 hours, however I’m wondering if you guys think it will be possible for me to get on an earlier flight once arriving in Singapore? I tried doing it on the phone but since it was a redemption booking, the couldn’t do it over the phone. Am hoping it can be done in person? Please let me know!

I'm considering making a booking through Etihad. It's 2 long flights (7 hours + 9 hours) with a 1 hour and 50 minutes layover in Abu Dhabi.

The thing is, my departing airport is always crowded and at that time there are usually delays in flights. Seeing the history of this particular flight, the delays are usually anywhere between 5 minutes and 2 hours.

The reason for the delays is usually because the airport is operating over capacity and airplanes have to wait for clearance to take off.

My question is: if I take this flight and it's delayed too long, to the point where I miss my following flight, does Etihad take responsibility?

What usually happens? Do they find me an alternate flight? Do I have to find it myself? What happens to the return flights?

Thank you!

Anyone recently try to change a seat on the Ryanair app after checkin and after it after you try to pay the seat doesn’t update ? Happening to me this morning

Hi there everyone. Been scrolling through the sub for a little bit but thought it might be easier asking a fresh question. If it is a silly question I apologise in advance! I am flying from Edinburgh to Heathrow and have a connecting flight from Heathrow to Tokyo Haneda. The flight arrives into Heathrow Terminal 5 at 7:45 and then also departs from terminal 5 at 9:00. Is that enough time between connections since it is the same terminal? If it helps I have a British passport and bags have been confirmed to go straight to destination.

The only risk I could think of is that easyJet might invalidate my return flight in case only one of us flies? However not sure if that's a thing with easyJet (seems to be more of a thing with American airlines on longer routes).

This might sound like a super dumb question but I don't want to be caught out.

We've booked an easyjet flight for our holiday from Bristol Airport next month, both ways, and I'm wanting to buy the 23kg hold luggage for the 2 of us. When I press add 1, it says it costs £41.24 (per bag, per flight) and then says total £82.48.

Is this price for 1x 23kg hold luggage for both our inbound and outbound flight? Or is this 1x 23kg hold luggage per passenger for just 1 of our flights?

Next week, I'll be flying from India to Dublin. There's a typo on my ticket with no space between my first and middle name. I contacted the airline, and they assured me they've added a special service request to address the issue. However, I'm unable to view the request on my end. How significant of an issue do you think this will be?

Just about to get on a flight from Venice back to the uk and before boarding my name was called out amongst others and I had to fill in a form for extra security measures. In the form I had to say how I bought my ticket and where I bought it from, another form of identification (all normal by this point), then they asked me to draw a triangle and a ladder, to hold up three fingers, circle two numbers on a list and point to the photo on my passport amongst other things?? All fine and they were all very polite and apologetic, they said I had to do it due to the last minute booking of my flight - but what does doing the weird tests show/ prove to them? 🤣

Hello,

I had a flight with United airlines that I booked through Flighthub. I had to cancel the flight so I was given a flight credit through United that says I must contact the agency directly to use the credit. I chatted with flighthub on the texting service since people dont seem to answer phones there and they said some stuff about different extra charges they have but the one that confused me was that I have to rebook the new flight from the same departing city.

I booked a one way from Aruba since it was significantly cheaper however I have no reason to book future flights out of Aruba since thats not where I live. I contacted United about this and they said it does not matter where I book the flight out of, I just need to book with United which makes sense.

Does anyone have any info regarding this at all that could be of help?

I got a flight booked at sing air website and it will be my first time flying, from Philippines to Newcastle UK.

From PH to singapore and singapore to paris, both are operated by Sing Air but from paris to newcastle uk it will be operated by air france.

my question is will Sing Air transfer my luggage to air france or do I manually have to check in my luggage at air france?

I purchased a flight with EuroWings on their Basic fare. If I want to cancel it, will I get a full refund if I booked it less than 24 hours ago? Wondering if anyone has experience with this.

Hello, I already have my ticket but now I want to apply for TSA Pre-check. Is that possible for me to add TSA number later after I bought my ticket? (My ticket fron ANA Airlines (Japan)). Thanks!

Or does the airport have enough things to keep my occupied?

hello guys, My friend just convinced me to buy My friend just convinced me to buy tickets to Italy fly tickets to Italy. So we went and bought ticket for company Wizz Air. The ticket itself cost 1 EUR and fee was like 9 EUR. And now I am little bit scared how it can be so cheap is it safe to travel with this airline? Please tell me your experience thanks

I was scheduled to fly AUS>RDU today, with a layover in BNA on American Airlines AA3778. I booked 2 basic economy tickets, one for me and one for my husband. We had our seats assigned, we checked in ahead of time, and got to the airport with plenty of time to spare. We found our gate, got some food and ate, then came back to the gate when boarding was supposed to start. There had been no delays at any point with our flight, we got to the gate at the only boarding time that had ever been stated. When we noticed that no one seemed to be boarding (as with basic economy, we would have been last to board so we patiently waited for a few minutes), we asked the customer service if everything was ok and they let me know that the flight had taken off early because all 78 ticketed passengers were on board. We clearly were not on board, nothing was stated over the intercom for us to come board early, and our tickets were on our phones so there is no way they would have been scanned without at least one of us being aware. They rescheduled us to leave later in the day, but the fact that they stated we were on board when we very much were not is terrifying. Is there anything we can do about that? I just am just so shocked that they fudged the passenger list and stated that we were both on board!
