stopovers and transit

Hi all! I want to ask the hive mind for advice. For an upcoming trip I've got two rewards tickets, but they're separately booked, so I am looking for a sense check that I'll have enough time to make my connection. Flight 1: HKG to ICN, CX418 scheduled to arrive 19:15 (T1 as far as I can tell)...

I’ve got a long connection coming up in KUL (23 hrs and 30 mins). I’m heading into town for the night but don’t really want to carry my bags in with me. Routing is SYD-MEL-KUL-DEL. Does anyone know if Qantas are going to be able to check bags right through to my final destination?

I'm looking to make some purchases in France but departing the EU, I'll be going via HEL. CDG-HEL-HKG. From my reading, I'm suppose to claim at my last port e.g. HEL. How would that work if I'm in transit? Do I have to leave airside to process my claim? I'm aware that there will be...

I guess this is a bit of a "how long is a piece of string?" question, but what would be a sensible minimum transit time to allow in a booking with SA that means transiting thru Chiangi airport. Both flights will be with SA. In answering, please keep in mind that I am somewhat neurotic and was...

Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere - I searched as best I could… Does anyone have any insight to share on the transfer from CDG to ORY? Is it a reasonable proposition for a 4 hour transit? Method? Cost? TIA for any assistance. J

Travelling to Jakarta Via Singapore arriving on QF37 with a connection at 7.30 am on Jetstar to Jakarta and travelling with HLO only. Id it possible to stay Airside with various lounge access? Or is it best to book a local hotel. Look forward to hearing people's experiences and advise.

Hi all, As Aussies can we enter Shanghai for about 31 hours and then take next flight onwards to India, if we do not have a China visa? Our flight from SYD is to reach Shanghai at 5 am, then next day at 1:15 pm is the flight to India. Between 5 am to 1:15 next day want to go around Shanghai...

Hi - a newbie on this forum so apologies if this has been asked before, but frankly there is so much information to digest (and some of it is very confusing). So, we will be flying from Sydney to Shanghai, arriving 1915hrs at Pudong Airport. We have a confirmed reservation at the Ramada Plaza...

I’m flying a Qantas award in J, LCY-FRA (BA) FRA-TPE (CI) landing at 06:10 Terminal 1. Then a Canada J award, TPE-SGN (EVA) leaving at 09:10 Terminal 2. I’m assuming there’s no way I’ll get baggage checked through. Should I present to the EVA transfer agent at Terminal 1 or just go get my bag...

I recently flew on a United award ticket BKK-MEL-CBR, with the first leg on Thai Airways and the second leg on Virgin Australia. All on one ticket with a same-day transit in MEL. According to the Thai Airways website (and ExpertFlyer), TG and VA are interline partners. When I checked in at BKK...

We have flights PER SIN. 12 hours later SIN TYO, 10 hours transit hotel booked. Can we check in suitcase from PER SIN TYO

I was on the avianca website today, and noticed a banner at the top of the home page saying "Beginning October 23rd, passengers from certain nationalities connecting through El Salvador will have to pay a new Airport Improvement Tariff." Now, that in alone doesn't seem like a huge deal. But...

I recently found out that travellers doing international transit at Taipei Taoyuan (TPE) airport originating from the USA no longer need to go through security before connecting onto their next international flight. https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/front/archives/2023/07/21/2003803508...

apologies if this has already been discussed. I am on QF1 into Heathrow, hopefully at around 6.30am on 8 November, with a transit before a BA flight to Dublin. The BA flight leaves T5 at around 13.30 and I'm hoping this is enough time for the transit bearing in mind QF1's atrocious delays. I am...

I've just booked a United business class award which involves a long transit at MEL (10 pm to 7 am). It hardly seems worth booking a hotel for what would be about 4-5 hours sleep at most, so I was wondering if it would be possible to go airside around midnight, given that I will have checked in...

Hi All!! We had been planning a longer trip to Europe with two of our adult children, but we couldn’t get everyone to agree on timing, destinations etc. My wife, however, had already booked her holidays with her employer, and they are always difficult to deal with regarding changes to leave. So...

I'll soon be embarking on a journey from BNE to LAS with a layover at YVR.6.5 hr My flight will arrive at YVR at 06:50 AM, and the LAS flight departs at 1:20 PM. In terms of timing, I have plenty of time to catch a train to the city and enjoy brunch in the Gasworks area. However, I'm unsure...

Does anyone know the current visa transit requirements for China and if it is possible to transfer international to international at PEK without going land side. I have been to PEK before but it was arrival or departure, international to domestic and the other way around and have always had a...

Well I just completed applying for a VOA for Bali (in advance of travel) - here are a few traps if you've never done this before:- You must supply the name and address of your hotel (there are multiple address fields, including things like province, city, village, immigation office - !!??)) -...

We are transiting through HK on our way to Auckland on Cathay. We have 14hrs in HK. We are flying J inbound to HK and outbound. We’d like to freshen up on arrival in HK before heading into the city to explore. Could we go through transit security so that we can enter a lounge to shower and...
