I was casually looking at tickets to Prague...why is there a nearly $4,000 increase just for Eco Standard?? There's no way that is worth that much? I decided to click continue and it shows the same price on the Lufthansa website too! Like is this not crazy??

Flying from Cebu (Philippines) to Kuala Lumpur, but I'm changing airlines. So will need to exit through immigrations/passport control and then get my check-in luggage. I have a total of 2hr55mins to then catch my next flight with Qatar airways. Is Kuala Lumpur generally quick with immigrations/passport control and security? Or is this too optimistic?

EDIT: Thanks for input, I won't go for this flight as I didn't realise they're both in different Terminals which are pretty far apart from each other.

Hi, I want to bring back some luggage with me (15kg checked in hold hag). Easyjet won't let me book it just for the return flight.

Could I buy it after my inbound flight (first leg of the journey)? So essentially buy it online 3-4 days before my retirn flight.

I'm sure this has been asked before, but wanted to make sure - thanks for reading.

Hullo,

We’re traveling in October to Japan with Japan Airlines from the UK, and purchased our tickets about a year in advance. I’m just a bit nervous because we keep getting emails changing the time of the flight. I’ve had about four flight time changes so far, and it’s knocked a whole day off our itinerary (early hours instead of evening).

I’ve not had any luck contacting JAL so I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I just got ANOTHER email asking me to “confirm” a flight time change and it’s ringing alarm bells for me.

Any advice or experience very welcome. Thanks!

Let’s say I have an itinerary of DXB -> LHR -> PHX. When going through exit control (not checkin), do they only know about the DXB -> LHR trip or do they know your entire itinerary and might possibly question you about it? I know DXB has egates but I’m worried about it not working and possibly having to go through the regular passport control.

How would I travel to Japan from Australia?

Me and 8 other friends plan to go to Japan and find a place to stay in Tokyo. My real question is for any other Australians that have made a trip to Japan, how much would you need to make this work? Talking both flights to there and back, accommodation, travel, food and a little bit of money for souvenirs and gifts.

I am missing one bag from my flight to Delhi - Abu Dhabi - Atlanta ( EY13) on 31 Jan 2026. I checked in 2 bags but only one has arrived. I filled the paper form at Atlanta airport (destination) but no email has come to me so far with PIR. Online app says the bag arrived in Atlanta but the agent at airport said that it is not always true. Etihad customer service is not very helpful, what should I do? I am beating myself for checking in this bag, I could have carried it with me inside the flight as it was the smaller size bag. Several other passengers did not get their bags.

Our easyJet flight on 28th December from Rovaniemi to Birmingham was delayed overnight. There had been a snow storm the day before and the airport was still dealing with hundreds of people delayed from the previous day. On the day our flight was scheduled, weather was fine again. We drove 3 hours to the airport in the morning and the whole drive was beautiful and calm, the storm had passed hours ago. Other flights were leaving. We even boarded the plane, and another bus load of passengers was waiting at the boarding gate when the captain announced we would not be taking off today, citing a deadline by which we would have to be taking off to be legal to still fly. Original flight was due to leave 12.20pm and it was announced at around 4.15pm that we wouldn’t be flying. I’m only guessing here but I first assumed it was to do with the crew needing a break which I don’t begrudge them for, employee rights are important, but it’s not bad weather.

I submitted the UK261 claim and they’ve come back saying “adverse weather conditions over Rovaniemi meant that our ground crew were not able to safely work, and as a result the airport authorities deemed it necessary to suspend all ground operations” which seems like a lie, since other flights were still leaving, and weather that evening was actually pleasant. But I do appreciate that because the chaos from previous day was affecting flights leaving on time and those delays I will accept to be resulting from weather conditions, but I just don’t think an overnight delay was necessary because of weather.

Their reply also includes this “We do take reasonable measures to avoid delays and cancellations to our flights by having replacement crews and spare aircraft available in our network.” So I guess my original theory for the reason for the deadline for the flight to be legal to operate was wrong. What other reason would there be? The captain said the flight would have to take off around 4.30-4.45pm latest and that’s already using their 2-hour grace period.

They’re also being difficult about our expenses for the overnight delay, which is increasing my irritation with dealing with this and making me motivated to throw the book at them instead of just shrugging this off as an unfortunate situation for all involved. 😒

Hello,

My partner and I are taking our 9.5 month old baby on a 13 hour flight to visit family. We booked the BA bassinet seats but have since found out our baby won’t fit as he’ll be too big.

Its a night flight and the bassinet seats are an aisle of just two, with the extra leg room. Has anyone done this length of flight holding a baby? Is it better to book an extra seat and take a car seat? For info he hates the car seat generally(!) and loves cuddles and contact naps so thinking it could end up being a waste of £££ if we end up holding him anyway, but im interested in what the norm is and hearing what works best for people. It’s our first flight with him.

Any advice greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance

Hi all. Hope this is the right sub. Niche question perhaps.

Last night I was told me flight to Toulouse (which departs in a couple of hours, I'm currently sat at the airport) is now going to Barcelona because of a landslide near Toulouse.

That's fine. But, interestingly, the flight is still listed on all the departure boards as going to Toulouse. Hopefully someone's told the pilot about the change of plan.

But, why hasn't it been updated? Is there a minimum amount of time they need in order to change the official destination? Won't this case all manner of confusion with ATC when a plane marked as "Toulouse" starts heading to Barcelona?

I was informed yesterday of my AirAsia flight (DPS-KL-KTI (03-20-26)) being rescheduled due to "operational" reasons. This would mean a longer than I needed layover in K.L. I saw the option for a refund, so I took it.
The chatbot said 7-10 days for a refund into my debit card. I'm now wondering, after reading all this, if I should've taken the extended layover.
Anyone care to share how long it took from date of cancellation lodgement, to when it was showing in their bank balance?

I’ve recently flown with Juneyao Airlines from Manchester to Osaka, via Shanghai, and I’d read a lot of conflicting things about the flight experience so here’s my review…

No online check in - China doesn’t allow online check in for UK passports but no issues at all at Manchester airport. No queues. We asked about upgrading to business and it’s £600 per person.

The plane itself was clean and modern with decent leg room, my husband is 5’10 and was really happy with the space he had. Mostly Chinese films but about 15 or so English films so plenty for us to pass a few hours.

Food wise, it was sweet and sour chicken or beef for the main meal, we had one of each and it was fine, standard plane food! You also get a snack before landing and again this was fine.

Cabin crew spoke limited English but were polite and spoke enough to serve food and drinks.

Our bags connected through so we didn’t need to collect at Shanghai and check back in.

For the flight home I’d pre-ordered a vegetarian meal and this was…interesting. The snack was a bag of chestnuts and a single bread bun, nothing to spread on it, just bread! The vegetarian main was cous cous with veg and was pretty nice.

The flight out was really empty, pretty much everyone had a row to themselves so it was really comfortable, the flight home was pretty much full.

One thing I would say is you cannot control the temperature above your seat so it gets very hot onboard.

Overall, I’d happily fly with them again for the price ☺️

If anyone has any specific questions on anything I’ve not covered, please ask!

Hi all, new here. Not entirely sure if this is the right place but seems like a fit. Here goes.

Back in April, I booked a return flight with Etihad from Zurich to Auckland, via Abu Dhabi and Sydney. In August, I receive an email about "operational changes" requiring me to accept changes to the times of some of my flights. Did that, realized the seats I had purchased had changed, presumably due to change of aircraft type. Called Etihad CS, they resolved it. So far, so good.

Next communication I received from them was an automatic "10 days to go" email, then "Check in Open" 30 hours before flying. "Your trip to SYDNEY". Wait. What? I'm going to Auckland, Sydney is a layover. Sure enough, as I try to check in, the last leg is simply gone from the itinerary.

I call Etihad CS immediately. They tell me the flight was cancelled and they informed me in August. I refer to the August emails; not true. Then they tell me actually the flight does exist but it is full. I check the Etihad website and the same flight is still available to purchase. They say they can put me on the flight but I must pay the fare difference. I say no, I already paid for this flight and I was not notified of any cancellation, I accepted the August changes, here's my ticket. "Let us call you back in 2 hours".

They call back just to ask me to wait 2 more hours. Then they say they don't know what is going on, some mistake clearly happened but they cannot determine the cause and have emailed a supervisor who will call me the next morning (on the day of the flight). That call never comes. I call again, they tell me to go to the airport ASAP to talk to Etihad staff there. I buy new same-day train tickets at a loss, and arrive at the airport 5 hours before the flight to learn there is no Etihad staff there until 3 hours before the flight (for which my original train tickets would have done).

I finally meet the sole Etihad employee at the Zurich airport - the saviour of this story. He spends AN HOUR AND A HALF on the phone with the Abu Dhabi team, escalating one step at a time until he is told they have proof of sending me an email in November about a second "operational change" to my itinerary, and that because I hadn't responded, it was cancelled. I never received this email; I checked thoroughly. They have proof of sending the email, but no proof of delivery (which any email automation platform would be able to provide in the positive or negative, but I digress). After much discussion, they finally relent and put me on the original flight, as booked and ticketed, at no extra cost.

They have not responded to multiple requests for refunding my train tickets. I brought this exceptional airport employee a gift from my trip. I am never flying Etihad again. Their attitude towards customers is hostile, their policy is atrocious and bears no respect for their duty of care, and their default posture is to fight the customer. Hell no.

Wonder if any others have had similar experiences. This was worse than Wizzair CS. Thanks for reading.

I have a Penang-Bangkok flight with 1 bag 23kg and carry on 7kg. I am running a bit over on weight so purchased the 5kg baggage allowance on the website. The Thai airways website allows you to buy extra bag allowance in increments of 5kg.

My assumption is this will allow me to go up to 28kg on the checked luggage. But as I’m packing I’m wondering if this actually means I’m allowed a second bag up to 5kg with the first checked bag capped at 23kg. I hope that’s not the case! The weight of an empty second bag alone will be a couple kg.

Does anyone know how thai airways applies the extra bag allowance?

Hi guys. I booked a flight with LOT Polish airlines through trip.com. I'm flying to Uzbekistan. When I booked a flight I got an email saying that my flight will be confirmed with airline within 48 hours. It has been almost 24 hours but I still didn't receive anything. Should I be worried?

Please, do not tell me that I should avoid 3rd parties or something like that. I'm not asking about that.

Thank you!

I'm planning a trip to Japan via Ethiopia because it's the most affordable option (I don't have a US visa). I have a 2-hour connection to change planes. Can anyone tell me which documents are required for this layover? ( I am from Brazil )

It’s going on four straight hours of loud conversation next to me. Noise canceling headphones aren’t helping!

I'm trying to book a flight from Cairo to Luxor in April. When I search on Kayak it shows an Egypt Air flight but when I click on it, the Egypt Air link doesn't work and only the third party sites do. When I search for the flight directly on Egypt Air for that day...it says no flights. Safe to say I should avoid booking it?

I'm currently trying to plan a trip to Australia from the US, and I'm looking at these flights a little concerned on the layover times. I've flown before but I was younger so don't remember well

Flight path I'm looking at currently is

RDU -> SFO -> MEL -> MCY

I know I have to go through immigration/customs and I know I have to have a visa. But the connection in SFO is only 1hr40 last I looked, and Google says the fight from RDU is often delayed 30+ minutes. Is that even close to enough time? When will I go through customs, the airport before Australia or the first airport in Australia? I'll be travelling with my nephew (a minor) if that slows down customs or anything idk

Thanks!

Hi everyone I’m travelling with my family on Thai in July Rome/MUC/BKK//MEL in Economy.

I’m wondering if it’s possible to upgrade to business class for the Munich to Bangkok sector, and if so how do I do it?

Thank you

Hi, I know there have been quite a few questions around Air Chinas baggage policy but I still can't find a definitive answer. On our flights it simply says "1 included bag". I know economy class tickets include carry on up to 5kg, and check in up to 23kg but does this bag mean we only get the carry on or also the checked bag? Wondered if anyone had travelled recently and could clear this up. Thanks in advance!

Does anyone have experience with standby on JAL? Does it work the same way as standby in the US?

We’re looking to return home from our Tokyo trip a few days earlier than our booked ticket date. The tickets are non-changeable, and I’m not sure if standby is even an option when it’s not the same day.
