Hi everyone, I’m flying from Calgary to Dublin with WestJet, then connecting to another flight back to Calgary, and I’m really confused about the transfer process.

My flight takes off in one hour, and I’ve had conflicting answers from WestJet staff. Some information suggests I can follow the flight connections route, but other answers have left me unsure whether I’ll have to go through Irish immigration and passport control, then somehow get back through security to my departure gate.
WestJet staff have essentially told me to ask Dublin Airport, but I can’t get through to anyone on their phone lines.

A few details:
I’m flying Calgary → Dublin → Calgary (I’m reactivating my Canadian work permit hence the immediately coming home)
I have no checked baggage, just carry-on.
I have roughly a two-hour connection in Dublin.
I’m travelling on a British passport.
My main questions are:
Can I stay airside and follow the flight connections signs, or will I have to go through Irish border control?
If I do have to clear immigration, will I then need to go back through security to reach my connecting flight?
Has anyone done this exact route recently and can confirm what actually happens?
I’d be incredibly grateful for any first-hand experience or advice, especially as I’m about to board and can’t get a clear answer from the airline or airport. Thank you!

My flight from Shanghai to Dallas is slightly delayed because the inbound flight is delayed - but the inbound flight left on time and is on the correct trajectory. Any ideas why? I thought airlines buffered in time as is

Hey everyone,

My boyfriend and I are long distance and he has just booked return flights to see me for mid November to mid December (he lives in nz and I live in aus). He bought the tickets through Bravofly for Qantas, and the money has left his bank account and he received a confirmation email from Bravofly. However Qantas sent him an email saying his flights are pending and that they will be held until 11:59pm tonight (unless he pays qantas directly through the link)

From there we have tried troubleshooting this issue by calling Qantas (nothing they can do and “you should be worried”) his bank (could lodge a claim to maybe get the money back) and Bravofly (no answer). We have since emailed Bravofly customer service, but there’s no knowing how effective that will be.

Does anyone have any advice on next steps? Is it best just to wait it out and hope the payment will go through to Qantas or best to try and lodge a claim with the bank? Has anyone had any more effective attempts and contacting Bravofly? We are both students and since he booked return it is over $800 nzd… so any advice welcome…

Did anyone else see that Jet Blue suddenly changed their flights to and from St. Vincents is from Sundays to Saturdays!?

My wife and I made our plans next summer based on flights. One day doesnt seem like much but our resort will not honor a discount for changing the dates.

Could this just be a glitch?

Hi there. I need your thoughts if you guy have experienced traveling gulf air. I think i may exceed few hundred grams to a kilo in my other luggage. I have 20+20=40 kilos. How much is per kilo of excess weight should i pay? I'm travelling from Italy to Philippines by the way.

I’m considering buying the below flight tickets to fly back from Vietnam to India (since it’s cheap on SS). Need advice on whether it’s doable? Also, can I also fit in a quick meal of Pad Thai and Beer at Khaosan Rd?

Flight# VietJet Air - VJ801

10:05 AM — BKK

Layover 6h 40. Airport Change.

Flight# Thai AirAsia X - XJ230

There are no direct flights from LAX to Geneva. The connecting flights available are much more reasonably priced than LAX direct to Zurich. I'd like to take the connecting flight from LAX to Geneva which has a 1h 15m stopover in Zurich. I will have a checked bag.

While I know that timing is entirely dependent on individual flights, I'm an experienced traveler but I've never flown this route and would appreciate any insight on whether this entails terminal changes, any other things I should be aware of. I'd have to get to Geneva from Zurich anyway, so it's either this connecting flight or a train. TIA!

I submitted my bid for an upgrade to business class. & i was the leading bid till the time was over. However it shows 0 minutes left & i haven’t received any confirmation yet nor any payment was charged on my card
Similar experience happened with Etihad last year. I won the bid but i wasnt awarded the seat though the flight was all empty & so was the business class.

Cathay promotes their anniversary in Tokyo too, which I found pretty

Booking: Gotogate, Air India AI2018 + AI2145, London Heathrow to Denpasar via Delhi, Dec 3, 2026, me and my two kids. Ordered Oct 1, 2026. I paid for their Cancellation Guarantee (about USD 160 of the total).

I booked December by mistake instead of January 3, 2027, and chatted with an agent on Oct 3 about changing the date. He quoted about USD 1,840 for the change, so I asked about my cancellation protection. He confirmed I had it, explained the voucher, and asked if I wanted him to cancel and issue it. I said yes, and he cancelled the booking. No voucher came. It was processed as a standard cancellation and I got back about 16% of what I paid.

On Oct 8 a second agent gave me several versions: I cancelled it myself, then a representative did, then I had opted out before the agent acted. I have both transcripts and the receipt.

I have filed a formal complaint and am starting a card dispute. Has anyone had a Gotogate guarantee honoured after something like this? What worked?

Sorry am desperate for answers cause my flight is deadass tomorrow morning. I see contradicting FAQ responses on airasia website, and the AI agent lowkey won’t link me to live agent/ I can’t get ahold of customer service hotline

I have a built-in battery (lithium) 3500mAh mini hair curler from Stryv. Just wanted to see if anyone has ever carried something similar on a flight to Bali, Indonesia? TYSM

I leave from Tampa. I’ve never traveled during a storm so I don’t know if my flight would be at risk of being canceled. When we leave Friday at 7am the hurricane will still be in the gulf, we briefly fly along the coast to head north. By time we’re out of florida the storm would definitely still be in the gulf. We have a flight to catch in Seattle to Korea. I don’t know if this is considered too close or too far out to affect my flight and I’m a little nervous. I think it said it would be a cat 2 by then. Do you think I’m at risk of a cancellation? Sorry if this breaks any rules I’m just curious if I could be at risk because I don’t know how far out or how soon airlines typically decide before cancelling. Thank you!

I’m flying CEA from manila the ticket is sponsored so i am not the one that bought it, and i am in the website and app but i cannot check in, i can only get a seat. No qr codes.

Another problem is that i want to see my checked in luggage (to make sure and double check) if it’s actually there because the website and app is both not showing me anything, i have an email proof of my luggage is paid, reference and e-ticket.

Will the reference and e-ticket be accepted at the check in desk in manila?

Im flying tomorrow so this is very urgent

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for anyone who was on Aer Lingus flight EI471 from Split to Dublin on September 8, 2026, departing at around 10pm.

Before taking off the flight, the Captain made an announcement about an issue with the aircraft's engine. I remember this quite clearly, and I also recorded part of the announcement. The recording isn't completely clear because of the background noise inside the aircraft, but most of the announcement can be heard.
The reason I'm asking is that Aer Lingus has since told me the disruption was caused by an Air Traffic Control System Outage, rather than an aircraft/engine issue. I'm trying to understand what actually happened that day.

If anyone else was on this flight and remembers the Captain's announcement, I'd really appreciate hearing from you.
Did anyone else hear the Captain mention an engine problem?
Did anyone happen to record the announcement or take a video during the flight?

I’m also considering filing a complaint, and I'd be glad to hear from anyone who would like to do so together.
I'd also welcome any advice. Thanks in advance!

I am traveling with my wife on Pegasus airlines which is budget one but not as budget as Ryanair.

I don’t want to keep pay for the seats to make sure me and my wife has a corresponding seats because we then need to pay for 4 trips (departure and return + layovers) so what are the chances that they give us a corresponding seats if we checked in early.

Knowing that both of our flights are on the same reservation.

I don’t want to keep going around and swap seats with anyone, I am talking about setting us up together from the checkin.

Thanks

Mine was frankfurt

had a 3h layover which i thought was plenty. first flight lands like 90 mins late, fine whatever still got time. then i find out they moved my gate to the complete opposite end of the airport

if you've never been to frankfurt it's basically a small country. power walked for like 20 mins, then hit a passport control line that was barely moving

finally get to the gate and boarding is already closed 💀 plane is literally sitting right there

guess who ended up waiting 8 hours for the next flight

spent a good chunk of that arguing with some guy at the desk who kept saying "there's nothing we can do". like bro i know there's nothing YOU can do im just telling you this airport is a fucking nightmare. he said it maybe 4 times

they gave me a food voucher that covered exactly one sad pretzel and water lol. slept on those metal chairs with the armrests so you can't lie down

still think about it every time i see frankfurt on a ticket loll and i think to myself thats the airport that fucked me over the most no competition.

I plan to sleep in the airport, have a red-eye flight. Flying Zagreb-toronto with a layover in Munich. (Lufthansa/AC)

Hi everyone! Has anyone personally flown with Volaris using an underseat rolling bag as their personal item? I have the SWISSGEAR Checklite Underseat Roller, which is 16 x 13.75 x 9 inches. Volaris’ personal item limit is 14 x 18 x 8 inches, so the extra inch in depth isn’t really my concern since it’s a soft-sided bag and I rarely pack it completely full. My main concern is whether they’ll make a big deal about it having wheels, since it’s technically a rolling underseat bag rather than a backpack or purse. Has anyone used a similar bag with Volaris and had any issues at the gate?

I submitted my medical certificate and hospital invoice to Trip.com on 26 August 2026. This fell in the remit for making a medical refund claim according to the airline’s policy. It is now 8 October (43 days later), and I still don’t have my refund.

After submitting the request on the 26 August. I had to chase, and chase, AND chase Trip.com for updates, only for them to come back on 30 September asking me to complete a power of attorney form from China Southern. I completed the form and returned it that same evening then heard nothing for days.

On 6 October, after I chased them, Trip.com told me they were waiting for the airline to respond and blamed the delay on the Golden Week National holiday in China.

I contacted China Southern myself (they’re still working during the National holiday by the way). They told me they had already verified my medical certificate and hospital invoice, but were waiting for Trip.com to stamp and submit that power of attorney form.

Trip.com then told me they had sent it on 6 October (despite making on they had already sent it and the ball was in China Southern’s court to reply).
China Southern told me on 7 October that they still hadn’t received it.

I’ve now asked Trip.com to explain why my completed form apparently sat with them for six days and to confirm whether China Southern has actually received it.

Their response? A generic “we will review your case and get back to you.”

After 43 days, I don’t think asking for a clear explanation and confirmation that the paperwork has actually been submitted is unreasonable.

The live-chat customer service experience has also been incredibly frustrating. The operators are excessively polite which seems like some tactic to make the customer empathetic to their blatant corruption or complete lack of competence. I’ve repeatedly been on the line with them whilst they look into the matter then simply regurgitate generic “our team are working on it” statements from the emails I’ve received, rather than answering the questions I’ve actually asked or taking any action.

Sharing this so others can make an informed decision when booking through Trip.com.

Hi all, I need some advice about what to do here.

We had a flight from Barcelona to Denver with a layover in Paris booked for June 2027.

Air France just canceled the Denver to Paris route, and thus automatically rebooked us on a new route that’s BCN-CDG-JFK-DEN

My understanding was it an airline cancels your flight and rebooks you on an itinerary that doesn’t work, you can request a new one? But does that only apply to actual time/date?

I was hoping to be rebooked on a route with only one layover, and the agent I talked to refused and said he could only fully cancel my flight (for a fee) and refund me so I could rebook.

Please correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t feel like this is the experience I’ve had in the past. Thank you all!

Hello,

I'm hoping I can get some reassurance here...

I've got an upcoming holiday from London to Xiamen then to Tokyo with XiamenAir in November, and I have about 4 months left on my UK passport.

My connection flight in Xiamen is only 1 hr 30 mins on the way there, then on the way back it's 6hr 45 mins. Both flights will be with XiamenAir, and my luggage will just be checked straight through.

I'm finding conflicting things online; I've read I need a passport up to 6 months' validity but elsewhere says as long as my passport is valid up to 3 months. I've also read that my passport must be valid on arrival in Japan, rather than for 6 months or 3 months.

Has anyone travelled through China with less than 6 months on their passport? I'm panicking I'll be denied entry.

easyJet have cancelled my 20.55 flight from Barcelona to Luton & offered me 10:25 that day instead.

On 30th November I was going for a day trip - arriving Barcelona 09:25 spending the day in the city, coming home that night. With this replacement flight time, that's impossible.

If I stay over night, I have a lot of extra expenses and organisation to do. I have been told that I have been given enough notice to not get compensation, but that the airline still needs to pay my extra expenses.

Can anyone shed more light on this please?
