Is a 3 hour 30 minutes layover enough time at CDG (Roissy-Charles de Gaulle)?

I'm flying in on an international flight that will arrive in Terminal 2B (Royal Air Maroc) at 6:45 am. I'd have 3h 25m to catch my next flight to Houston in Terminal 2E (Delta operated by Air France).

Since I have to go through the customes and claim my luggage, check in again and go through the security. I am worried I won't make it on time.

Thank you! I appreciate any advice you can share.

Speed up connections

Hi everyone,   in June I'll go on holiday to Japan and then to the Fiji Islands, starting from Europe. (Qatar Airways from Italy to Tokyo (Narita), + Fiji Airways from Tokyo to Fiji). The return flights will be consecutive, so Fiji-Tokyo and then after 3 hours the Tokyo-Italy flight.   My concern is that the 3 hours between the two flights are not enough for this step and that something could go wrong. In your experience, is there any way to speed up the transition between the two flights? Will it be necessary to leave the airport and go through immigration checks again? How would it be possible to speed up this practice as much as possible?   For example, I was thinking of leaving my larger bags in a warehouse at Tokyo airport, so as to avoid waiting for my bags when returning from Fiji.   Thanks everyone in advance

ORD 8 hr layover Places to Sleep??

HI - I'm going to have an 8 hour layover in ORD (coming in on an international flight.)

Is there anywhere un-disgusting that I can sleep for a few hours in or near ORD?

When I was young I could sleep sitting up in the waiting area seats, but that was long ago and far away. And I'm too old to curl up on the floor anymore.

So I'll pay for a room if I have to, if there's an un-gross place in or right by ORD.

Thanks in advance for your help and advice!

EWR(Newark NJ) - What Is there for do in or around airport for 3-4 hours upon arrival?

Hi ~ My wife and I are flying into EWR (Newark NJ) airport in September for a wedding and our flight arrives at 6am and our friends plan to pick us up around 10am to travel upstate. I read that airport lounges wont allow access upon arrival and day spa's dont typically open until 9am nearby. Besides going to a 24hr diner, what are our options? We really wanted to just hangout in an airport lounge for a few hours, which I am realizing we won't be allowed in OR go to a nearby spa around 7am, which none are open.

Help me out

I'm curious about boarding procedures at different airports. Do they still manually scan boarding passes, or have they switched to facial recognition or other technologies? And what improvements do you think could be made to the boarding experience?

Porto airport duty free

Has anyone here been to porto airport recently? They don’t seem to have any duty free alcohol at all and only a select number of duty free tobacco at ridiculous prices. I’ve never been to an airport that hasnt had the eu and non eu prices on the label

Let's hypothetically assume I can't fit my giant A3 drawing folder in my personal belongings bag, so instead I hide it under my ankle-length skirt. Would I hypothetically be in trouble for this at the airport?

Hypothetically. (I'm anxious about my flight next week and because of my ticket I'm only allowed a personal belonging bag, no carry-ons)

Airport clubs/vip/lounges

How? I’m going to be doing a lot of travelling. I want to fly comfortably. Should I get a specific kind of credit card? Should I fly with one airline? What if I get a flight off Expedia? Is there a way to get “vip” access at all airports/planes? Please give me all the tips.

Enough Time to catch my next flight?

Is 3 hours at the Incheon International Airport (ICN) enough time to get my checked baggage, go through immigration/customs, exit the airport, re-enter, go through security again, and find my new gate?

In the fall I am traveling from the US to Seoul and Beijing. I purchased my round-trip flight to Seoul, but I haven't bought my round-trip flight from Seoul to Beijing. I want to go to Beijing as soon as reasonably possible after arriving in Seoul.

My flight options to Beijing are:

  1. 3 hours after arriving at ICN airport, or
  2. The next morning

I've heard the ICN airport is efficient with immigration/customs process, but I don't want to add unnecessary stress to my trip. Is 3 hours enough time if I chose that option?

If sleeping in an airport would you rather use the floor or a bench?

I was thinking of getting one of those mats that you place underneath you for more comfort, i'm thinking sleeping on the floor would be best in this case

What do you think?

legal age on international flights

Don't really know if this the correct sub for this or not but im flying from edinburgh to doha via qatar airways, and wanted to know if I'll be permitted to drink alcohol on the flight (I'm currently 19!). Same if im flying from dubai to manchester

When I flew from london to delhi last year (at 18), I was served without any objections so just wanted to double check in case, and not fall in trouble then lol.

Creatine at airport security!!

I'm going on a trip overseas and plan on bringing a workout supplement called "creatine" (which is a white looking substance almost like powder that you put in water for those who are unfamiliar). I would like to bring it with me as I plan on continuing my exercise overseas but am afraid it may cause issues at the airport for looking like drugs. How should I approach this at the airport? Inform security I have it in my bag? Assume they know the difference between creatine and drugs? Don't say a word and stop worrying? Any response would be helpful!

Will Singapore Airlines operate to Scotland

So Singapore Airlines operate out of Heathrow, Manchester and now Gatwick but how long ever wil they operate from Scotland and operate further north I mean it's not 2004 it's 2024/2025 depends if this ever happens I mesn the need to change at airport should not be a thing anymore I mean Glasgow airport had Emirates a380 and Edinburgh has Qatar so would make sense plus offer people choice plus there is demand for long haul I mean not only tourist boost but aldo foe foreign students as Glasgow and Edinburgh have pretgious University so makes sense. Plus would bring in overseas investment snd business all round I mean either an early morning service or night service would make sense either a380 or a350-1000.

First time traveler need advice

I’m an 18 yr old girl, and in a few months I will be traveling internationally by myself. I have never flown by myself and I am nervous/ don’t know what to expect. I’m flying from San Antonio, to MSP in Minnesota, then to Schipol, finally reaching my destination in Billund Denmark. I just don’t know what to expect with security/ when or where I need to pick up my luggage. My layovers are around an hour and a half long so I’m also worried that it’s not enough time. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

proposal ring

Hello guys,

how can I pass the security with such a ring? It is a surprise (of course) and I can't pull it out and put it in the basket to be scanned. Can I put it in my carry-on bag? Should I hide it somehow? Please advise.

London Stansted

My plane arrived late and I missed the last train to London at around midnight. Next services are trains at 6 am or coach at 4.20 am. Half the airport has been closed off and in the other half the whole floor is basically covered by people sleeping on the ground. Nor a single waiting area with comfortable chairs to cater to the passengers who are treated like cattle. This is uncivilised and not worthy of London or indeed any 1st world country. I understand that this airport is used mainly by low-cost airlines but surely if there are people coming and going between midnight and early morning the airport should have a duty of care of the passengers.

Question regarding a friend

My friend, 18, lives in the Netherlands, and is trying to come out to Montenegro to visit me, however he doesn’t have a passport at the moment and is convinced he can fly here with just an ID card, as he’s flown to turkey with one previously, is this possible, or will he need to wait for a passport? Thanks in advance
