American Airlines denied my unaccompanied 13 year old to board My daughter was told since it was the last flight of the day she is not allowed to board. So my gracious friends are returning her to their home today (45 minutes away) and have to return her to the airport for a 5am flight tomorrow. They sold me the ticket over the phone, so totally their fault. And I paid an extra $300 for the chaperone servic…

silly question – but how often have airlines lost your checked bag? I have an irrational fear of checking bags. Since I started traveling internationally, I have always just used a carryon and packed light. But I am going on a work trip for 2 months and I need to bring a lot of extra stuff (like PPE and whatnot) and as a result may need to check a bag. But today being on this reddit I am seeing so many lost lugg…

(HELP REQUESTED) Turkish Airlines Forgot to Reschedule First Leg of Trip Need some help pretty desperately here. We had planned to fly from Singapore to Vienna with Turkish airlines a few months back, with a stopover in Istanbul. Last month, they told us that they would have to push the timing of our Istanbul-Vienna leg forward, which we were ok with. Just today, we found out that Turkish airlines no longer showed th…

United Airlines And Pilots Strike Tentative Deal That Could Raise Pay By 40 Percent United Airlines and its pilots reportedly reached a contract agreement over the weekend that is valued at $10 billion, and it would increase pay up to 40 percent over four years for those workers. According to The New York Times, it’s the second wage victory for pilots this year, following Delta’s contract approval in… Read more…

Despite being the top 3 richest airlines; why do American airlines compare poorly to Singapore, Qatar, etc.? It baffles me; like they have the money – how come they don’t have the amenities, meal service, seating, etc that you find on the top class airlines like Qatar, Etihad, Singapore, etc. submitted by /u/bsoliman2005

If your like me and want to travel the world? Go work the airlines. I work as a baggage handler for Air New Zealand and EVEN us at the very BOTTOM of the corporate ladder get unlimited 50-100% of fixed airfares internationally/domestically and get to fly standby rates which are even cheaper. I flew to Korea and then Singapore on a round trip from Auckland in business class and the whole trip plus the staff disco…

Delta airlines charges?? Hi all, On July 6th I tried to purchase Delta air tickets to the amount of about $515.00USD. Unfortunately the site glitched mid purchase and gave me a notification that my card was declined (I definitely had sufficient funds to complete the purchase). I have no emails or any confirmation that tickets were purchased, but my bank account shows t…

United Airlines: Was rebooked twice for international trip – lost 5 days from our trip for which we had paid for accommodations (could not get refund). Had to book extra accommodations. What to expect for compensation? Long terrible travel story below. Initial schedule had us leaving Cleveland on 6/27, going through IAD and FRA, ultimately landing in ATH (Athens) 1 PM 6/28. Flight to IAD was cancelled due to weather. Earliest they could re-book us was 6/29. 2nd schedule had us leaving Cleveland on 6/29, going through EWR, ultimately landing in ATH 10 AM 6/30. …

Vietnam Airlines Hanoi – Paris A350 Business I just flew this segment and I wasn’t too sure what to think beforehand but it was a solid redemption using Skymiles. The timing of the flight is good for sleeping. Departs at midnight and lands Paris at 0700 and it’s a 12 hour flight. I walked away impressed overall. I could have had a little more seat width and length but the food and the ser…

LPT: Check the renewal date on your passport today. You actually lose 3-6 months because the airlines require a buffer period AND the State Department requires approx 3 months to process. FOAF (friend of a friend) got bounced at the airport because they didn’t have 90 days grace period left in their passport. If you’re planning on taking a vacation out of the country, check your passport before you buy tickets. submitted by /u/blue-jaypeg

Asiana Airlines Carry-On Policy Hi everyone, My family will be traveling to the Philippines soon through Asiana Airlines. I have a question about their carry-on policy. Are we allowed to take one carry-on luggage + a backpack? I don’t think I saw anything about being able to bring a personal item, which would be the backpack in this case. It would be small enough to fit under …

Japan Airlines Offer Rental Clothes To Reduce Luggage If you have ever flown with a commercial airline, you have inevitably debated how you will bring your clothes with you. The debate usually boils down to either cramming all your clothes into your free carry-on or paying for a checked bag. Even if cost isn’t an issue, it can be a gamble if your checked luggage will… Read more…

Nauru Airlines Reliability How reliable is Nauru Airlines? I ask because, several years ago when the airline was called “Our Airline”, I had a miserable experience with them trying to get to INU from NAN. The plane never made it off the runway, so I never got to Nauru. I’m wanting to try again this spring via NAN or TRW, but I don’t want to get stuck. Is Nauru Airlines be…
