3 Missed Approaches on 4 Flights!?! My wife and I returned from a trip to Vietnam and Cambodia this week. We flew Turkish Airlines JFK-IST-SGN, SGN-IST-JFK. Flights were great, Turkish business class is as good as you’ve heard. The bizarre part – three out of four of our long haul segments ended with a go around! What are the odds? Infinitesimal! The percentage of commercial fligh…

LPT: Bring a small, non-slip mat on long haul flights. Bring one you can roll up and chuck in your bag. I find most meal trays don’t have any grips so it feels like it’s going to slide off your tray table. Especially on exit rows where the tray tables aren’t the most stable. Also great for ensuring that your drink and tablet doesn’t slide off. In a pinch, a napkin under your meal tray will help with…

Experiences with United flights operated by ANA between USA and Japan? Hello! 🙂 I’m considering a flight I found through United that is “operated by All Nippon Airlines” from IAH to HND. There are also similar United flights to Tokyo. I’d be getting the economy non-changeable (most basic) seats. I’m just learning about ANA and how they are lauded for their great service, so I want to take the opportunity. My bigg…

Tip: You can cancel non-refundable flights for a full refund if the schedule changes significantly In August, I booked a cruise and non-refundable flight to Turkey, Greece, Egypt, and Israel for summer 2024. Then the horror in Israel happened a few weeks ago. I thought I was stuck on this cruise because of the non-refundable flight. Sure, I would have been safe because cruise lines are canceling Israel (and Egypt) ports. But I didn’t want to …

How do you get rid of these annoyi…

How are upgraded seats on flights always filled? I have been flying a lot recently and I’ve noticed that the upgraded seats are always filled, despite being vacant on the seat map just days before. For example I’ve been flying with United a lot and will be in a couple of weeks. I have a standard economy fare. Right now the first class seats are about 50% empty. The economy plus and preferred e…

Is it just me or have flights from NYC to Europe gotten unbelievably expensive? You used to be able to get to London or Lisbon for like ~$400 before the pandemic (I did it mid-2019). I know there’s inflation etc but still you can’t find anything below $600 that includes a checked bag. Crazy. submitted by /u/Nonobonobono
