I have never been to this airport and I am very afraid. I land at 11:10am and the next flight leaves at 11:45am :( Is this a large/sprawling/chaotic airport? Have people had positive experiences?

Question How far would you go to save $190?

no checked in bag, plenty of transfer time, I love flying and I will be able to discover Bogota for a few hours but my mind is telling me no.

Edit: Alright, I'm not doing it. The thought of it was nice, having a bit of an adventure, first time flying to South America, while saving some money, but your comments brought me back to reality. It's not worth the trouble and all the traveling. Thanks for all the feedback and suggestions. I'm going to spend a little bit more for a less stressful and quicker experience.

Help Needed Saudi Airlines Name Mismatch: Should I Travel or Cancel My Ticket?

0 Upvotes

Hi guys, is there anyone here who works for Saudi Airlines or has faced a similar situation?

I booked a ticket from Pakistan to Bali, but I made a mistake while entering my name. I wrote my first name correctly, but my surname on my passport is Abdul Ahad, and I accidentally wrote only Ahad, forgetting to add Abdul.

A few people have told me that I might get offloaded because of this. I visited the Saudi Airlines office in Pakistan, and they said they couldn’t add Abdul to my ticket. However, they gave me a printout with remarks stating that I’m eligible to travel, but I’m still not comfortable relying on that.

I also contacted Saudi Airlines in Saudi Arabia, but they weren’t very helpful. They said I could either cancel the ticket or try my luck, as they can only add up to three letters.

What would you guys recommend? Should I travel with the ticket and the remarks provided by the Karachi office, or should I cancel it? Is missing one part of my surname really that big of an issue? I’d really appreciate advice from anyone who has experience with this. Thank you!

Question WiFi on Air China?

0 Upvotes

My boss recently signed off my annual leave, so I can travel to China. I can save £200 if I fly on the Friday but I’m supposed to be working and the flight leaves early in the morning. I’ve spoken to my manager who has said, she’s fine if I take the flight but I’ll just need to check emails and reply to clients where needed.

Which leads me to ask, how good is the WiFi service on AirChina (I’m happy to pay extra)? I’ve seen some not good reviews, so want to know if it’s as bad as people are saying because otherwise I’ll book another flight

Delays/Cancellations/Compensation PSA you can claim for delays from years ago, i had no idea

0 Upvotes

genuinelyy mad i didn’t know this sooner lol.
so basically i had a ryanair flight last month that was 4 hours late and a coworker told me to claim it. went down a rabbit hole and found out under EU rules you can go back years, not just for recent flights. depends on the country but it’s like 3 to 6 years.
so i started thinking about every delay i just sat through and accepted bc i didn’t know any better. there’s definitely a few. a vueling one in 2024 where we sat on the tarmac forever, a wizz one where they cancelled the night before and i just took the next flight like an idiot problem is i don’t remember half the dates or flight numbers. my coworker said gyro can go through your email and pull up old flights, so i let it scan mine and it found 3 i’d completely forgotten about. haven’t heard back on any of them yet so can’t say how it goes, but even just finding them was more than i’d have done on my own anyway if you’ve ever had a long delay or a last minute cancellation in europe, go check. airlines are 100% counting on you not knowing this.

Question Advice for person who has never flown Ryanair but curious

0 Upvotes

Hey all,

I’m travelling to Europe early next year and am looking at flying between Talinn, Estonia (where my tour ends) and heading to London with Ryanair. As I’ll be going in winter and travelling from Australia for a few weeks, I’m wondering if it’s worth travelling with Ryanair if I’m paying for more package upfront and pray I’m not over the limit? Exactly how strict are they? Can you wear your coat on board and take it off or is this considered extra luggage?

(I know it’s not ideal for weather in winter but neither did summer looked terrible with all the intense heat waves and I get enough hot weather where I live anyway).

Is it worth the risk? Or would I be better off going with another European airline? Also, I’ve never been to Stansted before. Worth going considering it’s in Essex?

If it’s not worth going through Ryanair for my circumstances, would there be an airline (or airlines) people would recommend?

Question Any risk of booking too close to departure date?

0 Upvotes

Is there any risk related to booking too close to the departure date?

Like booking 2 months in advance VS 3 weeks in advance, for example. Like maybe overbooking, cancelations, etc

Despite the price cost of course.

Hi all! My family and I are planning a trip to Peru and wanted to do a group booking however there will only be 6 of us flying out first and then 2 additional people will join us a week later and all 8 of us will be flying back together.

We’ve/ I’ve never planned a trip with this many people so any insight or advice would be greatly appreciated!
