stopovers and transit

Hi all Just wondering if I need a transit visa if flying on Saudia or Kuwait airlines from Asia to UK. Thanks

While helping a friend find a last minute J fare SYD-xxx-JFK (or EWR) (and return a week later) - noticed that itineraries which transit HKG (on CX) were among the most expensive. I was surprised that CX were not discounting such fares as many passengers would not wish to risk a HKG connection...

We took round the world Bus class one world 2 tickets and we have to use Shanghai as transit ( 6 hrs) to go to London via BA from Shanghai. Qantas new Bus class used from Syd to Shanghai and even though new design is pleasant and nice we both found (wife) that seats are not comfortable . Even...

Hi, Its been about a year since I went trough LAX and am doing so again in about 2 weeks. Looks like after arriving on VA7 I'm joining a Delta flight at Terminal 2, is walking still the best way to get there? Coming back, I'm into T2 and need to get to VA8 for the trip back to Brisbane. Last...

I am contemplating a transit through DPS, I have never been to DPS and do not know the transit process. I have looked on the web it seems to suggest that I need to go through immigration and re checkin, is this correct. Flights likely to be QF43 connecting to MH to KUL. Thanks

Have just discovered that EK and BA apparently no longer have an interline agreement and so EK can't check my bags through to BA even though the flights are all on a single booking. Will the AMS transit desk fetch my bags and issue BA BP for me (as they do in places like HKG, SIN etc), or do I...

I am currently looking at the 30% classic reward discount to fly to London in August. (yes I know Economy Classic rewards are not the best use of points) I was also potentially looking at travelling to Auckland in early August. Just as an experiment, I put in a search of a rewards flight from...

Sorry for the big write up but I’m very frustrated and would very much appreciate some help: I’ve spent the past few weekends putting together a RTW itinerary from my honeymoon, which we’ve been credit card churning for, for the past few years. I booked the first half 2 weeks ago and have spent...

I have an upcoming SQ booking BNE-xSIN-MUC followed by MUC-SIN then a week later SIN-BNE. I've read the T&Cs and I'm confused as to whether I'm entitled to the vouchers. I suspect not, but was hoping the brains trust would be able to help me out.

I'm looking at having to overnight in Jakarta airport between flights; late arrival, early departure. I've never been to the city - is there anything recommended to see in a day, if I went the day before - like a day trip out of the city? Or is the traffic enough to deter from attempting...

Just reflecting on recent experience. I transited through Munich recently and was not subject to a security check - I think that was my first experience internationally of an airport "trusting" the security of the preceding ports, rather than subjecting passengers to an additional security...
