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-xx_-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...

Flying SYD-BNE-NRT on QF on one ticket, I presume the luggage would be through checked to NRT? Is there anywhere on the QF website that talks about the policy for this? Cheers

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...
