    I have booked a reward flight with Jetstar to DPS and transit to TPE with China Airlines. Anyone knows if I needed to go through immigration to pickup luggage and also pay visa fee+tourist tax ?

    No Stopover option in Dubai on QF flight number

    Hi everyone, trying to book a trip to Europe from MEL via DXB on QF number and staying in Dubai for a few days on both legs for work and friends. Somehow the QF website multi city booking tool only shows layovers (less than 24h) and no stopovers (more than 24h) are possible. Calling the QF...

    Layover time in Seoul ICN

    Hi all! I want to ask the hive mind for advice. For an upcoming trip I've got two rewards tickets, but they're separately booked, so I am looking for a sense check that I'll have enough time to make my connection. Flight 1: HKG to ICN, CX418 scheduled to arrive 19:15 (T1 as far as I can tell)...

    Long transit in KUL; bags checked through?

    I’ve got a long connection coming up in KUL (23 hrs and 30 mins). I’m heading into town for the night but don’t really want to carry my bags in with me. Routing is SYD-MEL-KUL-DEL. Does anyone know if Qantas are going to be able to check bags right through to my final destination?

    VAT Refund Last EU port is a transit

    I'm looking to make some purchases in France but departing the EU, I'll be going via HEL. CDG-HEL-HKG. From my reading, I'm suppose to claim at my last port e.g. HEL. How would that work if I'm in transit? Do I have to leave airside to process my claim? I'm aware that there will be...

    Transit thru Changi

    I guess this is a bit of a "how long is a piece of string?" question, but what would be a sensible minimum transit time to allow in a booking with SA that means transiting thru Chiangi airport. Both flights will be with SA. In answering, please keep in mind that I am somewhat neurotic and was...

    Transit Visa in Shanghai

    Hi - a newbie on this forum so apologies if this has been asked before, but frankly there is so much information to digest (and some of it is very confusing). So, we will be flying from Sydney to Shanghai, arriving 1915hrs at Pudong Airport. We have a confirmed reservation at the Ramada Plaza...

    TPE transit terminals CI EVA

    I’m flying a Qantas award in J, LCY-FRA (BA) FRA-TPE (CI) landing at 06:10 Terminal 1. Then a Canada J award, TPE-SGN (EVA) leaving at 09:10 Terminal 2.

    Certain nationalities now have to pay USD1,130 to transit El Salvador?!

    I was on the avianca website today, and noticed a banner at the top of the home page saying "Beginning October 23rd, passengers from certain nationalities connecting through El Salvador will have to pay a new Airport Improvement Tariff." Now, that in alone doesn't seem like a huge deal. But...

    International Transit without Security

    I recently found out that travellers doing international transit at Taipei Taoyuan (TPE) airport originating from the USA no longer need to go through security before connecting onto their next international flight. https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/front/archives/2023/07/21/2003803508...

    Heathrow Transit - T3 to T5

    apologies if this has already been discussed. I am on QF1 into Heathrow, hopefully at around 6.30am on 8 November, with a transit before a BA flight to Dublin. The BA flight leaves T5 at around 13.30 and I'm hoping this is enough time for the transit bearing in mind QF1's atrocious delays. I am...

    Long Overnight Transit at Melbourne Airport

    I've just booked a United business class award which involves a long transit at MEL (10 pm to 7 am). It hardly seems worth booking a hotel for what would be about 4-5 hours sleep at most, so I was wondering if it would be possible to go airside around midnight, given that I will have checked in...
