My spouse will be immigrating to the US in the coming months with a spousal visa. It would be easiest for me to buy them a one-way ticket through something like Delta versus them buying a ticket. (Most transactions in their home country are cash.. so their buying options are more limited.) Is it usually okay to buy a ticket for someone else? Will they be asked for the credit card used for the flight? Or would it be far safer for me to figure out a way for them to purchase the ticket?

We're flying to Hawaii with 2 adults and 3 kids (youngest is about 10) in a 777 on the way there, 737 on the way back

What seat configuration would you book? 3 in a row and 2 across the aisle? 3 in a row and 2 behind? Book an extra seat to have a full second row?

I’m flying to Kodiak within a week and will be using Delta (multiple connections) to get to Seattle Washington. From Seattle I will fly (Alaskan Airlines) to Anchorage then Kodiak.

As a military member, I am issued 5 free bags on Delta Airlines ( on Orders). Alaskan will only give 2 (per their website).

Delta gives 100lbs per bag but Alaskan is 40lbs.

Question: Will I be able to check 5 free bags (under 100 but above 40lbs) to my final destination?

It’s a 7 hour flight starting at 8am so will probably only be asleep a couple of hours.

I would aisle access and I can’t tell if every seat has direct aisle access?

I am booking a flight on TAP to Newark and was looking at the seats. The plane listed is an A31 LR Neo, I know this can change but wanted to know if anyone is experienced in this airline, the comfort seats, right in front of the exit row where economy is, are these seats against a bulk head? Do they recline? Seatguru does not show the same layout as when you book on TAP. So just wondering. Would hate to get comfort seats for them not to recline because of a bulk head. Seats would be row 11 F and 11E.

Like I see a round trip from frontier for 53 dollars to go to New York from Florida. But the other airlines are like 150 plus. Like I’ll make it to New York on a frontier airline, right? 😅😅

Hi there ! I booked flights VIE-MAD-ORD, VIE-MAD operated by Iberia, MAD to Chicago by American Airlines. Initially upon booking we had connection time in Madrid 1H 40 minutes. Today I received an email stating that the flight from Madrid to Chicago leaves sooner than before cutting significantly our connection time-now being 1H10minutes. Iberia stating it is totally fine, but based on my experience-I think this flight is easily missable. We are EU citizens, passport control should be smooth tho. What is the reason American Airlines changed flight time according to you? Flight from Vienna arrives at T4, outbound flight to O'Hare is from T4S. Having changed time-do you think the AA will hold the flight in case of late Iberia arrival from Vienna ? If possible-should I consider rebooking ? Thank you.

Whenever my wife and I fly, she gets middle seat, we had a discussion from our very first trip together and she said she didn’t have a problem with it

In return, if only one of us gets upgraded, she gets the seat first. Seems fair

I'll soon have a 5 hour evening layover at HND flying ANA. Is it worth briefly leaving the airport as this is my first time transiting Japan? Alternatively, if I stay at the airport (which given the connection length, I'm feeling more inclined to do) does anyone know whether I'll have to clear Japanese immigration/recheck my bag anyway or does HND offer sterile transit? Furthermore can one go between terminals without reclearing security? Any and all information would be appreciated!

Edit: My outgoing flight will be departing Terminal 2 and my incoming flight will be arriving in either Termianl 2 or 3 (ANA does not know ahead of time)

Can anyone help me figure out TAP's policy for free changes on basic and classic tickets? I have been able to find and that confirms changes are actually free with no associated fee. I can't, however, find any additional terms. Does the change need to be made a certain amount of time prior to the flight? Is there a timeframe associated with the change - for example, does the changed/new flight need to be completed within a year? There seems to be very limited information - or at least I just can't find it! Thanks for any input!

Hi, on Scoot's website, even if I choose multi-city, it only allows me to enter two flights. How do I search for a 3-flight itinerary? Thanks a lot!

So I had a connecting flight with American Airlines from SFO to PHL and PHL to DUB. Flight was supposed to depart SFO at 11.48AM on 26 Jan and reach PHL at 8:13 PM and depart PHL at 9:31 PM and reach DUB on 27 Jan at 8:40 AM. We had checked in to the SFO airport and my luggage was also checked in and while waiting at the gate for boarding, we were informed by American Airlines that our flight was cancelled due to a maintenance issue. I called American Airlines customer support and they put me on an AerLingus flight departing SFO at 17:20PM on 26 Jan which would land directly to DUB at 11.25AM on 27 Jan.

Am i eligible for compensation under EU261? I think not as the flight was through a non EU carrier (American Airlines) but just wondering if i could be entitled to anything here?

Sunlight canceled on us, basically told us they can’t do anything about it, we boarded the plane and then they told us to get off and canceled it. Can we make a claim for the amount of money we had to pay extra with hotel cost

Hola!

He comprado unos billetes de avión con Air China para mi y para un amigo. El viaje es dentro de 9 meses. Mi pregunta es: durante el proceso de compra, nos dieron la oportunidad de pagar para elegir asientos (todos eran de pago). Si no elegimos asientos ahora, la compañia intentará siempre ponernos juntos? Es un viaje muy largo

Hello!

Due to the defective mobile user interface i made a payment for a ticket using WizzCredits without my final approval. Basically, i was not asked to confirm the payment once again after i chose WizzCredits as payment method. The platform used them right away without my final consent. Now i am wondering, has this ever happened to you and did they refund you the credits back to your account? How long did it take and what was the process like?

Any info is appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello im active duty military stationed in Guam. Guam is a US Territory so everywhere I look says I do not need a passport to travel from Guam to the states. But United airlines keeps telling me I need a passport since my flight goes from Guam, to Honolulu, to Denver, to Charolette. Some people I ask say I do not need one and some people say I do. Just seeing if anyone here knows for sure. I don’t have a passport because I travelled to Guam on military orders, but my flight to the states is in about 5 weeks so I’m trying to get a passport asap just in case.

I am desperately trying to reschedule a flight that's 4 days away. The website is not letting me. Their customer care is so poor. I spent a lot of money on the ticket and baggage. What can I possibly do?

Hi all, next week I would be travelling from India to Hong Kong via Thai Airlines economy class. I would like to know if the carry on luggage of 7 kgs is inclusive of a laptop shoulder bag or is it seperate from the conditions of the carry on luggage. Check in luggage is 25 kgs. There is no confusion however im confused about the carry on luggage.

I am trying to search for flights on Priceline. When I find a flight I like at at price I like (e.g. $164/person), I click on the flight a few seconds later and the website gives me a new price (e.g. $198.49/person). I originally chalked up the price increase to really bad luck on my part where the price just happened to change in that 30 seconds and closed all my search windows. But when I tried my search again several hours later to see if there are any new changes, the same search shows me both flights back at $164 per person.  I immediately clicked on the flight that and it again says told the flight price had jumped to $198.49.

It seems quite clear (to me, at least) that the issue is that the search results page is caching old prices that are not getting updated, even after waiting hours between searches. I've contacted support asking for help with this issue but gotten nowhere. Has anyone else seen this behavior? I've not seen this on any other aggregator I've tried. This happens on Priceline for multiple different routes, airlines, dates, etc.

Hi all, hoping to get some clarity on my travel situation over the next 48 hours.

I’m flying from DTW to Haneda via Delta and landing at terminal 3 at 5:40pm. I then have a separate flight booked on JAL from Haneda to New Chitose out of terminal 1 at 8:40pm (so 3 hours in between).

My question is this: seeing as my flights are different bookings with different airlines, can I still use the domestic transfer counter on the 2nd floor of terminal 3 to check in and drop my luggage (and subsequently take the ‘ramp’ transfer bus), or will I need to take the public bus to terminal 1 and check in there?

Basically - is the transfer counter only for connecting flights or is it good for any sort of international arrival to domestic departure situation?

Follow up question - if the answer is yes, does the terminal 3 transfer counter accept oversized luggage? I’ll have a snowboard bag with me.

Thanks in advance!

I have a 435pm flight from Fort Lauderdale to Phila with frontier, & I noticed there's a 455pm flight from FLL to PHL as well (same amount of time). The same thing happens around 7am. Is it normal for planes to depart with the same route with only 15-20 minutes in between? Doesn't seem right

Hi All,

I am flying China Eastern Melbourne, Australia -> Sapporo, Japan in 2 weeks and am very unclear as to whether I need to pay extra for oversized baggage. I am going to be skiing with a group of 4, however 2 people are going a week early to Tokyo so our current plan is for myself and my mate to each bring 1x ski bag packed with all 4 peoples gear (2x snowboards in one bag, 3x skis in one bag).

Both of us have 2x 23kg checked bag allowance but it is unclear reading the information sheets whether the oversized bag costs extra regardless or if it can be included as the second bag in the 2x 23kg limit.

If we have to pay extra for oversized bags we are considering packing all the gear into a single ski bag so we only have to pay for one. However, this pushes the weight up to 28kg which I assume will cost extra for the weight also.

Has anyone got some recent advice on this as everything I have read online about this is a few years old. Links to there baggage policies here:

https://www.ceair.com/global/en_static/Announcement/BaggageService/FeeRegulationsforExcessSpecialBaggage/
https://www.ceair.com/global/en_static/Announcement/BaggageService/FreeBaggageAllowanceandSpecifications/

On top of the above, I was also planning to pack my ski books and some other gear in carry on using a 50L Dakine boot pack. Is this going to be and issue and should I be trying to fit all of this stuff in my 23kg checked bag allowance?

Thanks for the help!

Hey all! We're planning a trip to Dubai from JFK on March 19th, and were wondering if flight loads will be lighter on EK206 which stops in Milan vs the non-stop EK202 flight to Dubai. Any input would be greatly appreciated!!

Hello, can someone point me towards a resource I can look at June 2024 direct flights from Mykonos (JMK) to Barcelona (BCN)?

I've played around a bit, but cannot find anything with free options. If it is a paid resource only, is there an inexpensive one that definitely has the data?

Thank you in advance!

Ryanair offer two sizes for checked baggage: 20kg and 10kg.
The dimensions for the 10kg option appears to be the same as what it is for cabin baggage. Which sucks.

How strict are they with this? I have a rucksack which is bigger than their specified dimensions but not too far off. I've never noticed the metal cages (that they have at the boarding gates) at the check in desks, which makes me think (hope) that they may be a little more lenient. But it's Ryanair, so probably not.

My bag certainly weighs less than 10kg, but is it worth the risk?
Does anyone have any experience with this?

I would like to bring into awareness the people on the internet by telling my story with LOT Air lines FULL Flex ticket which is not really FULL Flex but more like a scam that runs by LOT company.

So i purchased a flight ticket from middle east to NYC round ticket. The type of the ticket is FULL Flex because i was required the flexibility that this type of ticket should theoretically to provide for the customers. I took the outbound flight to NYC and then i have decided that i want to chnage the back flight so eventually i decided maybe to cancel the return flight ticket with LOT airlines and purchased a new one way ticket with another Airline. I was having the trust that because i paid alot of money for flight ticket which is 100% FULL Flex then i would get a full refund of the return ticket. The terms of the ticket say explicitly that i have ZERO penalties for changes or refund.

I contacted LOT Airlines and ask for assessment only of the refund. The came back to me by email only because the customer service call center is saying that this department is not reachable by phone and neither by email.

So they came back to me and offer only refund in amount of 159.10 usd.

How much cost a ticket with LOT Airline one way ticket ? 700-800 usd

What a scam LOT airlines is doing with their Full Flex ticket.

I opened a dispute through Paypal. Now i have to wait for resolution by PayPal.

Does anyone know for sure whether UK261 applies when you're diverted back to UK several hours into a transatlantic flight due to a maintenance issue please? Google seems to have no certain answer and they're talking about a £15 voucher and another flight tomorrow at the moment and I'm not sure if I should be arguing with them or not.

Thank you!

Our flight with Air Europa from MAD-AMS had to turn around after 1 hour flying because of a technical issue. They decided to fix it in Madrid, even though Amsterdam was closer by when it happened. As a result we had a 4+ hour delayed. It was our final destination so we didn’t miss anything. I am trying to get the compensation, but the flight records show it actually landed on time, which is obviously not true. I checked on flight radar24 and it says the flight was diverted to Madrid but it doesn’t show the arrival time. I am guessing that the arrival time in the records is the time we landed back in Madrid. How can I claim the compensation? I did a quick check on different websites but since there’s apparently no delay it keeps saying we’re not entitled to it.

From the advice i read it is best to book directly either airline & not through third party site. But is a $60O difference. Is it that awful to book with expedia or orbitz?
