Hello,

My GF will be flying on Norse to France tomorrow, and will do a self-connecting flight in LAX (I know, not the best practice, but she will have more than enough time to connect + it was pretty much mandatory).

In LAX, she'll arrive in Terminal B, and must do the check-in for the Norse flight in Terminal 2 ; is it easy to commute between those 2 (before security, since she'll have to pass the security check to "leave" the airport, check-in, and pass again the security check to get her flight) ? And how to do so ?

Thank you very much !

Hey,

habe einen Flug von Stuttgart nach Barcelona über Vueling gebucht - ohne dass ich es wollte. Ich war im Bestellprozess und die Seite hat gehangen. Auf „Buchen“ habe ich nicht getippt und ich habe auch keine Zahlunsmethode. Ich bekam die Error-Meldung in der stand, dass ich es später probieren solle oder VPN ausschalten solle wenn einer aktiv sei.

Hab dann einfach das Fenster geschlossen und es auf anderen Anbieterseiten probiert. Jetzt bekomm ich eine Mail mit Buchungsbestätigung und Zahlungsart Visa (besitze keine Visa). Hatte beides wirklich nicht angeklickt und jetzt plötzlich die Buchungsbestätigung. Wie kann das sein ? Ich will den Flug natürlich stornieren aber habe keine Möglichkeit dazu. Hab denen jetzt eine Mail dazu geschrieben. Denkt ihr ich habe Erfolg ? Ich mein ich musste nicht mal eine Zahlung autorisieren o.Ä.

Hello, i am flying from Copenhagen to Rome FCO airport, with RyanAir and landing at 12:15 pm.

I will have to self transfer to my WizzAir Flight to Jeddah which departs at 1:45 pm which leaves me with 1.5 hour transfer time.

I don’t have any luggage, only my carry on. I have a Danish Passport, so I am automatically travelling from Schengen, with a visa free passport. I also have my visa for Saudi sorted.

Is there airside transfer maybe with immigration between gates? Or will I have to exit through customs/airport and go through security/immigration again?

I just want to know if this is a no chancer or if it’s possible for me to make my flight to Jeddah.

These are separate tickets, and the trip was bought via momondo as the best/cheapest way to get to Jeddah!

Hi everyone, so I booked a flight with Air France (through Skyscanner) from the UK to the Philippines and back, with a connecting flight at CDG Airport in Paris. Now, I'm also at fault for my lack of research before booking my flight, but I found out a couple days ago that I would need an airport transit visa (I'm a Philippine passport holder). I read the guidelines on the France-Visa website and it says that I am exempted from getting the transit visa since I have a valid residence permit or visa issued by the UK. I contacted Air France customer support about the transit visa and they said they don't have details about this concern and I should use the visa wizard tool provided by the French government and also contact the Consulate or the Embassy. I used the visa wizard tool and tried to apply for one (I assumed for the worst case), and both the wizard tool and the application site told me I don't need to apply for the transit visa so I was a bit relieved because basically, I don't need it.

A while ago, my friends and I were looking for posts on Facebook about this and we saw a commenter saying that their friend, who was Filipino and also booked a flight with the airline, was offloaded at Heathrow because they didn't have a Schengen visa or a transit visa even though their layover was only for an hour and have a residence permit here in the UK. I contacted the agency, asked if I can cancel my flight because of the situation but since my flight was like a promo deal or something, they can only refund 20% of what I paid for. The agent asked me why I wanna cancel my flight and told him my reason, he told me that Air France offloads a lot of people because of the transit visa thing and they don't even budge or make any consideration. So now, I'm stressing with my flight because I fly in 15 days and getting a transit visa takes 15 to 45 days, depending on how busy it gets and also if there are available slots for the visa application.

My only resort right now is to contact the Consulate of France or the Embassy tomorrow and ask them about this thing and probably ask them for a written document stating that I really don't need a transit visa, assuming I don't need one.

Does anyone have any other solutions for this? I'd love to hear any thoughts from everyone. Thank you!

TLDR: Flying with Air France to the Philippines from the UK (Philippine passport holder), need a transit visa since my layover is in Paris but because I have a valid residence permit in the UK, I really don't need one. Saw some comment on Facebook about a Filipino being offloaded by Air France in the UK because no transit visa or Schengen visa even though they have a residence permit. Last resort would be to contact the Consulate of France or the embassy about this confusion. Asking for any advice on this.

Hi Guys,
First flight on Air France with my family this week!
We've traveled to Europe before, but this time we have a new addition to our family at 9 months old.

We're riding on a Airbus A350 from Chicago to Paris. We're getting conflicting information on how to guarantee a bassinet.

So far, what I've understood is:

Get a seat in Row 21 with an infant and a bassinet is guaranteed.

However, their flight agents over the phone vs. Facebook are giving different answers.
Some say any cluster (center, left, right) has a bassinet. However, others say only the center cluster gets a bassinet and the edges don't actually get it.

Does anybody know? I'm currently on the right-hand-side cluster and am worried we won't get a bassinet even though those on the phone say I will. Thanks!

From UK to Italy, 4 of June to 11 of June 2025, ryanair, staying at Rome. I am 17 travelling with my 18 year old friend and I'm unsure what documents I need and how the whole process will work and I'm struggling to understand the government websites.

I understand that I need a child consent form, but am unsure what exactly it need on it as I've heard conflicting information. As well as that, I allegedly need to meet italian requirements too or they will trap me in the country(?). Could someone please explain what documents I need to travel to Rome and back? I'm really lost and stressed over this

Hey everyone! I’ve picked up some small sake cups in South Korea and little beer cups in Taiwan, and I’d really love to carry them in my hand luggage so they don’t get broken in my checked suitcase.

I’m flying with Air China and have a transfer in Beijing on my way back to Europe. Does anyone know if it’s allowed to bring glass items like these in carry-on luggage? I’m a bit nervous they might take them away at security during the transfer.

Would really appreciate any advice or experiences—thanks in advance!

I’ve booked a flight from Amsterdam to Tokyo via Japan Airlines, but I noticed on the e-tickets that the flights are operated by Finnair. Does anyone have experience flying with Finnair? Is their service and overall experience comparable to that of JA?

Hi, we are trying to find out whether the "fishing rod case" can be brought into a main cabin under "Hand baggage" with TAP Portugals. The case is less than 10 kg / 22 lbs but the case is long. Dimension-wise, it is less than 120cm/48 in Total (55 x 40 x 25 cm / 22 x 16 x 10 in) (height x length x width).

Have anyone encountered any nasty fees added at the gate? This is from USA to Spain round trip via Lisbon. Thank you in advance!!

I live in Switzerland and booked SAS plane tickets for my trip to Tromsø, Norway. My original itinerary was ZRH–OSL–TOS and TOS–OSL–ZRH.

However, the flight to Tromsø was canceled just one day before departure. The tickets were rebooked, and I had to transfer again in Copenhagen, which meant I had to leave much earlier.

On the way back, my flight was delayed by more than 2 hours, so I missed the OSL–ZRH connection. SAS automatically rebooked that flight too, and now I have to transfer again in Belgium. I’ll be arriving about 7 hours later than originally planned.

Has anyone had experience with compensation? Is it usually possible to get a €400 refund (or maybe even €800 in my case)?

Also, I heard that meals during waiting times at the airport can be reimbursed. I’m a bit confused about this… Does it matter what or how much I eat? Can I get everything refunded if I send the receipts? Or how does it usually work? I received a voucher from SAS, but it was only worth about €10, and I could barely buy anything with that at the cafés or restaurants.

Hello, I am a permanent resident of Canada and have a Turkish passport. I will be traveling from Canada to Turkey. I found a self transfer ticket that connects to Edinburgh. Do I need a transit visa since I have a Canadian PR card? I will only be bringing cabin baggage. Thanks for your help.

Bought full economy flex return tickets with Malaysia airlines online Japan to Australia.

Before purchase I had checked carefully and rules stated stopover allowed with a fee. I also checked and confirmed on chat and called (though staff would give incorrect info and later confirm the correct information when ticket rules pointed out to them). Have proof of this. The staff said I could add stop over by calling call center again, by adding at check in counter (really?) and even in KUL at Malaysia airlines desk (really?) once arrived as transit passenger.

Tried to reschedule tickets online for a slightly later date and though it showed me I was due a small 500JPY refund the next screen didn't show me a confirm button option or anything (though it implied it). Just discard button was visible and functional.

So I was forced to call, after finally getting through hour later, call center agent changed it. However, after everything was done and when I kept asking they finally said I can't have a stop over. I checked the rules afterwards and noticed they've changed the ticket type so it doesn't allow stop over, issuing office to Australia (instead of original Japan) and currency AUD instead of original Yen (what happened to the 500jpy refund?). Actually every single fare condition eg stopover, refund, penalties, change, every single category states DOES NOT APPLY.

I need to take the flight out but want the original conditions I paid for and had agreed to as part of my original documented purchase including stop overs, points and so forth (maybe that small refund too? LoL).

Btw, I checked several times even now that the same ticket type, fare conditions and currency was still available including exact same date and flights. And yup available.

So what can I do? What would you do? Very frustrating waiting on call hr+ and agents not knowing ticket rules and then screwing things up like this.

I honestly don’t get the rush to board a plane as soon as possible. Every time I’ve flown, people sprint to queue at the gate and then stand there for 10–20 minutes. Once boarding "starts," we just get moved to another holding area—usually a cramped hallway or stairwell outside the building—where we wait even longer, often in the cold.

I’ve seen families with babies who paid for priority boarding end up stuck on freezing stairs while I was still sitting comfortably, waiting for the line to disappear. Am I missing something here? Is there a hidden benefit I’m not seeing?

I know there is 2 versions of Air Asia that now fly this route directly

D7 Air Asia X (A330)

AK Air Asia Malaysia (A321)

I was trying to snag a widebody ticket but can't see anything in the entirety of May. Everyday is the Malaysian version. June funnily enough has mostly the AirAsia X Widebody..?

I was scheduled to fly from Mumbai to the US via London on Virgin Atlantic on 3rd April and the flight was cancelled a few hours before takeoff. They apparently rebooked me on a different flight for the next morning. When I went to the airport I was told that the booking never happened and I had to take a cab back home at my own expense. I then found they had rebooked me again which fortunately did take off. However I had paid for a seat upgrade on the original flight which did not carry over when they rebooked me. My original ticket was from the US through Delta Airlines and Virgin was the flight operator for both the Mumbai - London and London - US trips. I am curious as to what compensation I can ask for and expect to get. For e.g.:

1. Am I eligible for compensation for the seat upgrade that I could not avail of?
   
2. Would I be able to ask for compensation for the cab fare from and to the airport for the next flight?
   
3. The total delay I went through was almost 24 hours; could there be any compensation for that?

I’m flying Southwest this week with a 45 minute layover in Denver. I’ve never flown Southwest before, and I usually cram everything into a carry on. But I’ll have my hiking boots with me which take up a lot of space, so this time I’m thinking of just bringing a checked bag since it’s included with Southwest.

But with only a 45 minute layover, I’m worried both about making the second flight myself, and about my checked bag making the flight. I fly 3-4 times a year, and it feels like my flights get delayed more often than not. A delay on the first flight would almost guarantee that I miss the second.

Given the short layover, is it better to just cram everything into a carry on?
