The flight arrives to LAX at 8:04am. The flight from LAX to BER departs at 6:00pm Do I need that much time in between flights? How early should I arrive from the repositioning flight to ensure tha…

Direct flight from Florence to London Hi! I am Canadian and will be in Europe for vacation. I am trying to catch a one way flight from Florence to London on July 26 2024. Due to a scheduling mishap the direct flight will save us a lot of time and money. I wasn’t sure if I could just buy a flight ticket for Florence and hop on, or if I need to get certain requirements or visas to do …

International Flight- 12+ hours- Front row with no under seat? If you were taking a long international flight, would you opt for the front row in a section with a little more leg room but then have to stow all your things up top? I’m debating on the best seat (that I can afford) for a flight from east coast to Korea. I plan to just use my phone or ipad to read but would probably have some food in my backpac…

Suitcase zipper separated…I fixed it but will it be ok on international flight? I may just be anxious for no reason here. I was trying to organize my bag for my trip to Europe. I guess it was too heavy on one side and while I was trying to zip, it separated on one end. I, of course, panicked, but I was able to fix it. The teeth are slightly jagged in that area and when I zip I can feel like a hump when I hit that area but o…

LATAM flight from Seattle to Lima, Peru I booked a flight from Seattle to Lima, Peru directly through the LATAM site. LATAM is partnered with Delta so the first leg of the trip (Seattle to Atlanta) is a Delta flight and then switches to a LATAM flight from Atlanta to Lima, Peru. I was getting confused with the various flights and different emails coming from different airlines, so I c…

Flight Transaction Voided Nightmare! Hi, everyone. I am hoping someone else had my same issue so I know what my next step should be, I have not given up yet! I purchased United flights via Booking.com (I know now I should not have done that) within 2 hours I had to cancel the tickets. I called Booking.com and they told me to call United directly as it was a non refundable ticket bu…

LPT: to sleep better on a flight, make your seatbelt super snug With a super snug seat belt, you can relax your core a bit more than you could otherwise, so I find it to be more relaxing. YMMV depending on body type, I suppose, but it’s worked for me for decades. submitted by /u/Jeffrey_Friedl

LPT: Don’t Use Your Middle Name When Booking A Flight Just a little life pro tip I picked up recently: don’t use your middle name when booking a flight. I know, I know, it sounds weird, but hear me out. So, I was booking a flight the other day, and I decided to use my full name just like it appears on my ID, including my middle name. Turns out, it caused a bit of a headache. When I got to the airpo…

JFK > Heathrow > Glasgow Flight Hi all, I have an upcoming trip with Virgin Atlantic and British Airways. I bought the tickets together, not separately. I will also be checking a bag. As far as I’ve read, the checked bag will be transferred on its own, but I’ll prep some clothes in my carry on if there’s any type of delay on getting my bag, so I’m not too concerned about this …

Long haul flight refuelling – lounge access? We flew from “direct” from Toronto to Sydney a few years ago and there was a refuelling stop in Vancouver. We all had to leave the aircraft for about 2 hours while the refuelling took place. We will be flying from Sydney to Toronto soon and I presume there will be a refuelling stop. If we fly business class, will we be able to wait out the refue…

My question for you all is, where should I travel to in these free 10 days? I …

Frontier Involuntarily Kicked me off a flight I had a ~ $200 round trip flying with Frontier. They said that their plane had been downgraded and lost 10 seats. I was one of the lucky 10 people that were kicked off the flight involuntarily, they said they wouldn’t book us another flight through another airline, and the only next flight was the next day in about 24 hours. They said they would…

Flight cancellations and ruined vacations So this started yesterday (Wednesday), but I’m flying Spirit from Atlanta to New York City with a layover in Orlando. I made the first flight to Orlando, but soon after we landed they cancelled all flights in NYC due to the weather and I’ve been stuck in Orlando since. The ticketing agent said the next available flights to NYC or back to Atlanta…
