Hi

Planning a trip from London to Dhaka in late December and have got the option of flying Qatar (with a 10 hour layover in Doha) or Turkish airlines (6 hour layover in Istanbul). The Qatar flight is about £100 cheaper but given the situation in the Middle East I’m worried about potentially disruption and safety issues…. The UK foreign office advice online doesn’t currently warn against travel to Qatar (unlike Saudi Arabia) but does warn the situation in the Middle East remains unpredictable.

Worth paying more for Turkish airlines instead? And anyone who has flown Qatar during disruption, how were they in resolving issues etc?

Thanks in advance!

I was due to fly yesterday from Haneda to London via Beijing, however Air China cancelled the flight and would not speak to me on the phone nor was there any Air China staff to speak to at Haneda Airport. I ended up rebooking the connecting flight to Beijing with Japan Airways but I am struggling to get compensation for the cancellation, how do I go about getting this? Air China’s website is just a buggy mess

So next year (or sooner) Canada will be introducing direct flights to vietnam again. Apparently they have in the past, but they didn't last. I'd like to take advantage of this while it's here. That being said, what happens if they decide to cancel and stop those trips once I've purchased my seat on a plane? Do I need insurance, or is it automatically refunded? Hopefully not with points 😵‍💫😅

I checked a flight from Madrid to Tokyo a week ago and it was 700 eur, now its 1.000. What happened?

Hi! Has anyone had any issues sitting on the emergency exit row economy seats on JAL?

Specifically the 787 airplane? Any pros or cons we need to be aware of? I read a few places the seats are narrow, and no window.

Thanks!

Does anyone have experience in seat 27K on the Boeing 747-8? I’m flying Chicago —> Frankfurt and I’ve never been on a long flight. I picked 27K for extra legroom hoping I’ll have room to shuffle past my row mates from the window seat without waking them up🙈 idk if there’s nearly enough legroom for that but I’m trying to prep myself.

I booked a return flight to Spain with EasyJet then realised I couldn’t make the outbound flight due to work so in a panic I booked an entirely new outbound flight the next day (flights are in 10

days).

I can’t see how to cancel the first outbound flight. When I go into manage my booking it only allows a flight change not a cancellation of the outbound flight only. Do I just not check in? If I do this will it cause me issues for the return flight?

To be clear: the return flight and the replacement outbound flight are under totally separate references.

Thank you.

Hi everyone,

As the title asks. JetSmart have cancelled my upcoming flight from Iguazu to Buenos Aires. I called customer support and they said if they refund me the $195, they will charge an $86 'refund fee'. This is despite it being their entire fault for cancelling.

Is this normal??

So on 17th October I had a flight from Cracow to Mallorca at 17:55pm. After walking through security check and waiting at the gates it turned out my flight is delayed 6+ hours becuase of technical problems at the Cracovian airport. Of course boarding hasn't started yet. I stayed at the airport for about two hours and gave up, as the delay slowly got worse and my whole trip would be already meaningless. Ultimately, when I got home, I checked and the plane took off around 10 hours after planned time.
Am I eligible for compensation? I tried to apply for it on Ryanair site it wouldn't let me through, as I did not board the flight, but I was at the airport and it can be proven by me crossing security check. I am already confused, because the information I find are often contradictory. I'd be very thankful for some help with it.

I already asked for ticket refunds.

Recently booked a flight with Wizz Air and received a Booking confirmation email. The email include a Flight Confirmation Code and the phrase "This itinerary is a confirmation of your reservation and part of your electronic ticket. Your booking is now confirmed and you do not need to contact us before flying to re-confirm your travel arrangements". Last night, I went to check-in for the flight and kept receiving a "booking not found" message--I called the help centre and they told me my payment had been declined and as such my booking had been cancelled, though I did not receive any sort of message to this effect and I remember the payment going through when I bought the flight (obviously, or else why would I receive the confirmation...) I had to rebook a new and very expensive flight to reach my destination on time, with the new tickets costing over 5X what I paid with Wizz. Has anyone else experienced this? Seems insane to receive an email like this when there was (apparently) never a confirmed booking to begin with.
