stopovers and transit

Hi All, Currently booked MEL-SIN-LHR on QF35-QF1 for next month. Looking to potentially change that to QF37-QF1 to cut the layover time down significantly to 1hr 20m (that and the recent on-time performance of QF1 - I don't want a 5 hour layover to turn into 10!). Having not been through SIN...

I wanted to clarify our travel plans and seek some advice regarding our upcoming connection at Brussels Airport (BRU). We are set to arrive from Singapore (SIN) at 7:20 AM on Singapore Airlines (SIA) and will then need to transfer to a Brussels Airlines flight to London Heathrow (LHR), which...

Cathay Pacific is running a promo until 31 May 2025, for travel dates until 24 April 2026. Book a return flight from Australia to Europe, North America, Japan, South Korea or Taiwan, add a stopover in Hong Kong of at least 24 hours, and add the discount code STOPINHKAU to your search on the...

I have used Qantas points for AA business return from Dallas. I have only 48 minutes from AA2303 from DFW arriving to AA73 from LAX to SYD. Because this was the only flight available I just purchased it. My concern is the domestic flight arrives at the AA terminal but the international is then...

Has anyone used the Discover Qatar stopover package for QR customers with a transit time between 12-96 hours? I have an award booking coming up on QR (booked with Alaska miles) with an overnight stop in Doha (more than 12 hours) and it seems to be a pretty good deal. You can choose from a...

I am planning a trip to Morocco next year and I am thinking of the below route - BNE - SIN - IST - RAK , with the first 2 legs on SQ and last leg on TK. Would I get a through check in or would I have to get an evisa?? TIA

The usually quick and easy airside gate to gate transits at Singapore’s Changi Airport are not so quick if you want to transit T4 to T1, T2 or T3. It’s particularly bad for T4 to T2. It can take well over an hour, gate to gate! The reasons are several, but mainly that it’s a bus transfer from...

Hello all I have a mid December itinerary which involves Syd -> Kul (12pm-5pm). The next leg was Kul -> Ist (then beyond) departing 10am the morning. I had figured this was less than the traditionally recommended 24h but still ok… Turkish Airlines (Kul onwards) has just cancelled my 10am...

I am asking about a mixed transfer which my daughter has tomorrow (Tues). She is arriving from BNE on Jetstar at 0930 to SYD for a LATAM flight operated by QANTAS that leaves at 1130. Too tight for me but she is young and enthusiastic! Anyway, I am wondering if you believe the airport transit...

This thread is closed, so starting a new one: https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/jakarta-stopover.94390/ We’re on our second SYD-CGK // cheap J fare to Europe trip and have a longish layover at Jakarta coming up before QF42 (checkin won’t open until about 17:45). Last...

Hello all, I am thinking of booking a flight from SYD - CNS - KIX and keen to get some understanding of the following: 1. How many status credits do I get for this trip? Would that be 15 status for SYD - CNS and 40 status for CNS - KIX based on Economy rates? 2. Will I have to collect and...

Travelling PER-SYD-HND . Domestic sector with VA and international sector SYD-HND with NH but with a codeshare VA flight number. What happens at SYD? I see to receiving conflicting information. Do I need to check in at SYD as well or will Perth allocate boarding cards and also check bags all...

I have JL773 nrt-mel arriving at 05:40am. I am looking to book VA from Mel-syd on separate ticket. Would a 8:30am departure at Mel allow sufficient time to clear immigration and customs and then check in? I have never transited at Mel before for international arrival. The transit time is 2:50.

First time to Africa next year. We have a reward flight on Air France scheduled to arrive JNB at 8.10. The only airlink direct flight to Kasane departs at 11.50. We would need to collect bags, clear immigration, find checkin, clear security and find departure gate. Based on recent flight data...

I recently had an overnight layover at Zayed International Airport in Abu Dhabi (AUH) and decided to book a room at the transit hotel in Terminal A. I couldn't find a huge amount of information online about this hotel, which doesn't seem to even have its own website, so I thought I'd put...

I'll transit in LAX international to international in a few weeks, for the first time. I understand I ll have to pass immigration, pick up laggages, go landside, checkin, pass immigration and security. I am wondering if I have access to any fast track lane, or if there is any trick to make the...

I am confused about whether to answer yes or no to the in transit question. We are flying to LA spending a few nights and then flying to New York for one night and then joining a european tour which flies out of New York for 10 days. After the tour we are staying in New York for a few days...

We will be flying with Qantas or one of their partners but would like to know what possible stopover options there are to break up the journey please ?

G’day all, In a few months I have a long transit at ADD where I expect to be able to use Ethiopian’s (ET) ‘sponsored transit’ program. Has anyone used this program and if so how have you found it. I’ve previously done STPC transits with UL in CMB and with PR in MNL, but this will be my first...

We are looking to purchase return business class flights to the US in November this year. Prefer to depart from MEL but SYD is fine as well. We have to be in Las Vegas on 5 November to start a coach tour, and we have a cruise that finishes in Cartagena, Colombia on 13 December. Was going to...
