stopovers and transit

Hi AFF, new member here As the title suggests, has anyone tried the connection between NY JFK and Melbourne through Dallas Fort Worth? If yes what was your experience? How long did it take to make the connection and what were the steps/checks/lines involved? I have booked a Qantas flight...

Visiting USA for the first time and I did ESTA for 3 people a few days ago. For the question "Is your travel to the US occurring in transit to another country?" I put "Yes" because I misunderstood the question. Do I need to create all new ESTA applications and click 'No" now? I can't seem to...

…as with most things. Background: Family Scarlett headed to/from Asia to Europe for a couple of weeks during school holidays. UL flights booked CGK-CMB-CDG then return FRA-CMB-CGK in J. During the outbound there was a 10 hour transit in CMB so I contacted UL to see if there was still an STPC...

Bangkok Airport lounge access. What is the name(s) and can anyone use upon payment or does it have to be pre-booked. We have an 7 hour transit in October.

We are travelling BKK-SGN-MEL on bamboo airways in J (all on 1 ticket). We have a 11 hour transit in SGN, our flight from BKK arrives at 12:30 and the onward flight to melbourne departs at 23:40. I have read conflicting reports regarding lounge access in SGN when travelling on bamboo. We are...

Hello, My first time posting here - apologies in advance if this is not the correct forum to ask this question! I will be travelling from Sydney to Bogota via Santiago (and returning the same way) later in August. My Sydney-Santiago legs are with Qantas (codeshare with Latam). My...

Which is a better transfer experience? I have done SYD before and hate it, but I have an option via BNE too. I'd be flying to MEL.

I have asked this question elsewhere and been directed to the India Sub Forum. This is the closest option I can find but if there is such a thing, I'd love to know. In the meantime, I would appreciate some help with this... In 8 weeks, we are transiting Bangalore from QF to BA, in J, on the...

Hi everyone, I've made a late booking for an overseas trip and Malaysian Air were the only ones with J class reward seats. My transit time in KL is for 1 hour 35 minutes. Having a look on flight tracking history the flight PER to KLIA MH126 regularly runs late. Will 95 minutes be adequate for...

Hi guys, any hotel recommendations for day use in Mumbai? From 7.30am-7.30pm; perhaps around Marine Drive Colaba? To have a bit of an explore/shop/rest, (my first time there). I’m on my own, so thought I’d arrange transfers to and from a hotel, rather than having to negotiate taxis

My mum recently booked a flight with virgin to bali, and a 1hr 15m stopover in brisbane. I was wondering if that's enough (SYD-BNE-DPS)

I've checked the stopover guide for BKK, a lot of which seems pre-pandemic. Can't see anything really relevant. Situation: Apart from domestic and trans-Tasman flights, I've gone nowhere since early 2019. Next month I'm flying to and from Edinburgh. Using some of the resources here I was able...

I'm looking at QFF reward with BA cityflyer LCY - ZRH; 1 hr 5min stopover then F reward with EK. If the first leg is late and I miss my flight, do Qantas have to find me a new flight? I would have 23 hrs then to get to DXB (if I missed it) to get to my next connecting flight. Zurich airport...

I've been travelling between Australia and Europe quite regularly over the past decade. It's a long trip, so I usually try to break it up and enjoy a stopover (or four) along the way. I also love getting the chance to visit more unusual places. The journey is just as important as the...

Arriving off SIN-JFK Terminal 4 at 18:50 We're flying onwards JFK-BOS. Thought we were smart by booking a Delta Airlines flight as it flies through the same terminal - booked a 22:30 flight. Unfortunately Delta Airlines has just emailed us our flight has been cancelled and that our flight's been...

Here's a decent summary of current situation from OMaaT: https://onemileatatime.com/guides/qatar-airways-transit-stopover-hotel/

Hi folks, Travelling QF71 business Perth to Singapore. Can anyone confirm whether you still have access to Perth International Transit lounge or not? im seeing conflicting reports that lounge access is now only for PER-LHR business flights, but when you search the lounge on QFs website, it...

We have a flight booked later this year from CGK to Sydney on QF 42 at 20.00.We need to connect with EY20, inbound flight from the UK arriving at 14.35. Both flights are in J (QF is an award) and I’m WP. Traveling with the family. 5.5 hours seems like it should be plenty of time for the...

Hello all, just trying to sort out my trip to the Middle East at the end of the year. Looks like I might end up with a 3-5 day stopover in Abu Dhabi, I will definitely visit Dubai for some (most, all) of my time there. It's expected to be early November when I go. Does anyone have any...

I am looking at booking a paid ticket Syd-JFK via LAX using SkyScanner. It would be operated by AA, codeshare QF & BA. The transit time in LA is only 90mins which feels a bit scary but, worse, I have been someone (who may not really know) that you have to offload the luggage in LAX and go...
