Why is Lufthansa even flying FRA to DUS?

It looks pointless if you think of it as a city to city route. But it’s really not about Frankfurt to Düsseldorf traffic. It’s about feeding Frankfurt. FRA is Lufthansa’s main long haul hub, so those short hops are basically shuttle buses in the sky bringing people from DUS onto...

Flew Ryanair for the first time and honestly… it was fine

Just flew Ryanair for the first time on the return leg of a 5 day trip to Madrid. Outbound was Iberia Regional, so I had a backpack and a carry on. With Ryanair I realized too late that I was only allowed the backpack, so I stuffed everything into it and that part definitely...

Qatar changed my layover to 35 minutes in Doha. Is this a joke?

Booked MAN to BKK with Qatar later this month. Originally had a 2.5 hour layover in Doha, but after two schedule changes I’m now left with a 35 minute connection. That feels impossible in most airports, let alone Doha where you still have to get off, transit, and re board. I...

Looks like T-Mobile Wi-Fi is gone on American now?

Flew LAX to SFO on an E175 the other day and noticed the T-Mobile Wi-Fi option was completely gone. Instead it just pushed a $10 paid option, which I wasn’t about to do for a 56 minute flight. I know AA has been talking about free Wi-Fi coming soon, but why kill the T-Mobile...

37 minute layover at ORD on United. Am I screwed?

Booked this without really thinking and now I’m stressing. United itinerary with a 37 minute layover at ORD. I’ll have a checked bag too, which makes me even more nervous. If I barely make the connection, I’m worried the bag definitely won’t. Has anyone actually pulled off...

25 minute connection in Vienna and feeling nervous about it

Got rebooked after Austrian shifted my GRZ flight and only later realized the VIE connection is the absolute minimum: 25 minutes. GRZ to VIE on the ATR means an SBS gate for sure, so no jetbridge, and probably only a few minutes to sprint to the next gate for the ZRH flight. All...

My Quick Hop Across Borders, Flying One of the Shortest International Routes aviationa2z.com

I’ve taken long-haul flights that felt like a lifetime, but my Seattle to Victoria trip was the complete opposite just 49 minutes gate-to-gate. Before I’d even finished my coffee, we were descending over the harbor. It’s wild to think I crossed an international border in less...
