1h05 international transfer in IST. If I miss it, am I on my own?

I’ve got an international to international connection in Istanbul with 1h05 between flights. Both are on a single ticket. If I miss the second flight just because I’m not fast enough getting across the airport, what actually happens? Assuming the first flight is on time and...

Arrive 9:20am domestic at LAX and depart 11:30am international on separate ticket… doable?

That’s a tight one. You’d land at 9:20, but that’s wheels down. By the time you taxi, deplane, and wait for bags, it could easily be 9:45 or later before you’re actually walking out of baggage claim. Then you have to get from the AA terminal to TBIT (or wherever United is...

PDX–HNL–PPT with a 4h45 layover… what happens if you miss the once a week flight?

I get why you’re thinking about it. When the next nonstop is 4 days later, it suddenly feels high stakes. First, 4h45 in HNL is a very healthy buffer. That’s not tight at all. You’d need a pretty major delay out of PDX to miss it. If something did go wrong and it’s all on one...

What are the chances of making this connection?

Currently on a flight that was supposed to depart at 20:44, but it’s already 21:09 and we’re still sitting here getting de-iced. I have a connection after this and it’s starting to feel really tight. Starting to wonder if I should already assume I’m missing it. Curious how often...

Someone took my carry on… realized it… and still wouldn’t bring it back

Had the weirdest experience on a connection through DCA today. After landing, I went to grab my carry on from the floor bin near my seat and it was gone. Only bag left was a grey one that looked nothing like mine. Different color, shape, everything. So someone clearly grabbed...

8 hour LHR layover from Dublin to US. Do I need a UK ETA?

My wife and I are flying Dublin to Charlotte with an 8 hour layover at Heathrow. I’m getting mixed info online about whether a UK ETA is required in this situation. Since we’re coming from Ireland, do we have to go through UK border control at Heathrow? Or is it treated as a...

Can’t check in for second leg on SAS… normal?

Flying BCN–CPH–TOS tomorrow. I was able to check in for the first leg (Barcelona to Copenhagen) in the SAS app, but it won’t let me check in for the second leg (Copenhagen to Tromsø), even though it’s under 24 hours now. I was planning to stay airside overnight in CPH and avoid...
