if my friend and i are turning but want to travel alone would there be any legal issues with that i realize it may vary by country as we live in the united states we were exploring options where airfare would be relatively affordable and budget travel possible such as canada and certain caribbean nations i realize minors fly alone all the time but i was wondering if the fact that we have nobody in the country looking after us would be a problem also if we went on a techincally domestic trip such as one to puerto rico or virgin islands would it make a difference as we do not have to deal with customs any help would be greatly appreciated

here is a little story for you football fans out there couple of weeks ago my wife and i decide to book a flight to memphis feb to feb to meet up with relatives personally i didnt want to go now we all know that feb is the superbowl i told my wife i was cool with coming home feb i am a ny giants fan and no one out there including myselfdie hard fan didnt think that the giant would ever make it to the superbowl ok we are flying back feb not too bad right wrong our flight is during the game ahhh so i decide to try to change the flight to earlier time well online they wanted to charge me to change my flight to leave hours earlier so i figured that i will call them and maybe they can reason with me well i called and waited minutes to talk to someone and they told me the same thing i told them it was highway robbery i can understand why for changing times i t makes more sense to penalize you if you canceled or if you changed carriers but not for changeing times i dont think its right there are many companies to choose from and i choose them you would think a little help would be nice from them what if there was an emergency at home what are they going to charge me for that too sorry but im just frustrated and i dont think it is fair for paying customers to pay a penalty to changes the times of their flight back to the superbowl issue i am planning to do standby in case we get lucky i will also record the game so i can watch it when i get home that night i will have to not listen to the radio or look at an tvs before getting home so therefore nwa is not cool and i wil not choose them again and wish me luck on being able to watch he game

can anyone give me a suggestion on how to exchange my inbound ticket new york city moscow via alitalia i called their call center at to exchange my inbound ticket from jfk to svo from june to july th or any further date after the representative checked the status i was told that this would be impossible to do because aeroflot made a mistake processing the inbound flight apparently alitalia canceled the outbound flight and passengers including me were moved to aeroflot flight somehow aeroflot marked the status as changed but did not mark it as flown the representative at alitalia told me that there is nothing they could do now he said you have a very slight chance that alitalia office at jfk would be able to help i live over miles away from jfk and going there for a very slight chance is not a great option i dont see why should i be held responsible for any mistakes made by airlines is there alitalia office in new york city is there another phone number that i could get a better help any advice would be deeply appreciated

one of our checked bags was opened by tsa all the stuff at the bottom ended up at the top we know tsa opened the bag as they left their note inside on the top this isnt the first time we have had a bag opened by them but its the first time they didnt replace the cable tie and didnt close up the zips fully the key thing is that my nice hiking pole was missing from the case it had been at the very bottom of the case we dont why the hiking pole is missing its not a forbidden item and the friends we travelled with who also had a bag opened didnt get theirs taken the issue is as the cable tie wasnt replaced we dont know if the missing hiking pole was purposefully removed by tsa not returned to our bag in error or removed by another party after tsa opened our bag what can we do where do we stand with tsa on this do tsa have any responsibility for our loss tsa provide email contact info on their form is it worth contacting them any better suggestions

my son will be flying home from college but needs to bring his very expensive trombone back with him for the summer the trombone is certainly larger than the carry on dimensions would allow and i am afraid to have him check it my thought is that we can buy the trombone a seat as that is what either aa or swa say we can do it actually works out financially as it is one way ticket so not too expensive and much easier than flying out renting a car and driving the hours home my question is has anyone ever bought a seat for their instrument or even seats for themselves would their be issues getting the trombone through tsa or will the trombone be given its own boarding pass under my sons name any other unexpected problems we should be aware of tia

has anyone had any problems with the seat booking arrangements for the a from lon to sin briefly i booked my economy seat in january for a flight from london in october so that i could get the seat i wanted on the upper deck the seat i was allocated was confirmed on several occasions but when i checked the website in early october no allocation was shownit appears the as seating had been reconfigured but nobody told me anyway the booking system is not much use because even though you get allocated a seat you are not guaranteed that seat when you checkin as i and several other passengers found out i have been in contact with the airlines customer affairs people in london and singapore but so far have not received a satisfactory response also i dont know who designed the seats on the a but they must be the most uncomfortable ever on longhaul flights anyone agree is it better to use the b flight

does anyone use this with what airline we fly from toronto in canada we have tried it with a few on different trips and get very different experiences from toronto air canada and transat seem to have a hour window ahead that you can check your seats and move them at no cost and put in your passport details to speed up your airport experience with both of them the process seems to work fairly smoothly with a separate line at the airport for those who have done it and maybe a few minutes quicker at the actual check in with your cases cubana did not have this service the last time we used it sunwing only had a hour window which considering you have to be at the airport hours ahead doesnt leave much time and for some people it just cant be done we now live further from the airport and fall into that category the last time we did use this at the airport they had kiosks that if you hadnt already done it on line they had you use then everyone was still put into one large line for the actual suitcase check in so it did not on that day seem to be any quicker granted that day we went sunwing had about flights going out within a short period of time of each other all checking in at the same desks

my mother and her partner just completed a flight from heathrow terminal via lax to auckland and had the wrost experience ever i have posted my mothers email below so you are able to see what they experienced firstly though the check in was terrible rude and condescening and had to deal with different people all with a different take the series of events below are not all personally bas fault but their obvious lack of management of people paying to travel on their service is unbelievable my father has also flown on ba from auckland to london via asia and had his own experiences where his seat would not stay up and was told off by a flight attendant for not putting it up for landing and when he told them about it they did nothing it is actually illegal for them to have a passenger seated in a seat that does not stay up for landing and take off but they did nothing when he got back on the plane after the transit they still had not done anything and he still had to sit in that seat personally i am a member of star alliance and flew over miles last year to various places around the globe and didnt experience anything like this extract from my mothers email yes we did make it home but it was the flight from hell of course ready to go and they cancelled due to plane being hit by lightening found another plane and announced at that it was ready everyone lined up at the gate then my name was called out to go to the front took my bag and pull on with me but discovered kuku had my cell phone in his bag it ended up i had been random selected to have a full search along with about others once this was done they loaded me with the others selected onto a bus closed the doors and left us siting out on the tarmac for another hour noone came near the bus to communicate what was happening and of course unable to contact kuku to let him know finally bused to the plane and took of about hours late the nightmare really began when we got to la had to line up to go through the visa section told the guy we had a connecting flight and he said we had heaps of time to just stay where we were collected our bags finally to find we had to go through customs with the line a mile long explained again our flight was nearly due to go and they said just stay in the linenot even a transit line when we finally got through there was no one or any signs to tell us where to go but found someone who said terminal which was outside and a few down went through another check where a guy said with a smile youre going to miss the plane raced forward and in the final check an official said take your cabin bags and leave your bags with me and run raced down the terminal as they were calling kukus and my name and arrived at the gate as they guy was signing off and saying we had not arrived said into the phone they are here change that we got on as they were saying doors were closed and we were ready to go the flight was great but of course when we arrived in auckland no bags and when enquired the lady seemed surprised that they had not sent word that the bags were following we were going to go and check on zazu but after the experience felt cold tired and exhausted and came straight home i have been checking with air nz baggage who manage lost bags and the status is still tracing however i have checked incoming flights from la and the next qantas flight was to land this morning seems to be a day so i will check back then and see if it turns up air nz said when they arrive they will fly them down to tauranga so heres hoping ba are not a service orientated airline they just seem to have alot of staff who dont really give a damn about anything except their own personal gain and trying to get one up on their customers dontt see the point in this but unfortuneatly this seems to be the mentallity of alot of their staff

fear of flying is something many travelers or wouldbe travelers have to deal with statistically air travel is quite safe and fear of flying can be overcome easily fear of flying can exhibit itself in a wide range of feelings depending on the individual everything from being simply uneasy about getting on an airplane to a serious crippling phobia of air travel it is also sometimes referred to as aviatophobia aviophobia or pteromerhanophobia commercial flight has become an important even essential part of modern life yet flying continues to cause a significant proportion of the public to feel anxiety fear of flying seems to contradict the facts for example driving in an automobile is statistically many times more dangerous frankly i find i have a much greater fear of taxi drivers with an obvious death wish careening recklessly through heavy traffic on the way to an airport than i do of any air trip im about to undertake does the thought of flying make you feel a little shaky or is your reaction more extreme you feel panicky and frequently find ways to avoid airplane trips the fear of flying is common with a range of severities there are many treatment programs available some even run by airlines whether you fear a crash or hate being confined to a crowded plane there is hope a google search for fear of flying brings up a huge number of interesting websites ive never myself experienced any real fear of air travel and ive traveled extensively but ive known many people with varying degrees of it over quite a few years of traveling to many places ive even had the scary misfortune of finding myself in a couple of emergency landing scenarios which happily resulted in no serious mishap but thinking back on those i realize they never gave me a fear of air travel after the fact itd be interesting to hear the comments of both other people who dont fear flying and others who are dealing with it what are your experiences

on march th sas sent our checked in in birmingham luggage on the flight after ours from copenhagen to oslono explanation no apology but it did at least eventually arriveand they knew where it was as we were staying at an airport hotel it was no big deal and we shrugged it offwe travel a lot and this has never happened to either of us before we got back to birmingham last nightone of our checked in bags did not they dont know where it is which i find slightly worryingnot least because airlines are supposedly so hot on security i realise it wont be classed as lost until after days and as we are now home this may seem relatively unimportant and i appreciate it could be worse but the said bag contains all our thermal underwear a fleece all especially purchased for the holiday and heavy duty cotton shirts belonging to my husband as well as thick sweaters trousers etc given the present freezing weather in the uk we could do with these items would i be justified in asking the airline for fairly immediate partial compensation even if it does eventually turn upand there have been two flights from copenhagen today so im not hopeful am i entitled to some redress for the delay in such circumstances we do have good travel insurance with only a excess which would compensate us to the full value approximately including the case itself which is new and expensive should i just forget the airline and go straight to them out of curiosity does anyone know what happens if they compensate you and the case turns up there are a couple of items which have some sentimental if not monetary value which i cannot replace and would really like back a mirrored compact and an engraved hip flask containing whiskey neither of which i could put in my hand luggageim just glad our walking boots were in there i would add that the said case while large and black does have a bright pink strap around it with our name on it plus address labels inside and out i did my best to make it identifiable edited pm march

i recently bought a ticket from ba to fly from lhr to santo domingo via madrid the ticket had a ba flight number and my baggage checks also had ba references my luggage missed the connection at madrid and i am now trying to claim compensation ba say it is not their problem as the flight was operated by iberia and that i should complain to them i had understood that eu legislation and even uk legislation existed to make the marketing airline equally liable for such matters can you please advise me on this secondly i followed exactly what both ba and the local agent iberia in santo domingo told me to do including to travel to the airport in sd to pick up my delayed luggage when it finally arrived and ba are also telling me that they wont reimburse the taxi fare incurred despite my taking the taxi at iberias instruction they now say that i should have just waited and purchased any necessary items for which they would have reimbursed me iberia told me to pick the bags up as they had failed to deliver them at the time they promised i was leaving the hotel then and touring with no fixed location for some weeks and therefore there was no other possibility to reunite me with my baggage my baggage contained many items including essential prescription medication which was unobtainable in the dominican republic and without which i would have had to fly home early and therefore would have had a much more substantial claim against the airline and so under my obligation to mitigate the airlines loss i traveled to the airport which was also what they told me to do to pick up my bags in person advise please

i am considering booking a british airways round trip flight from montrealyullondon heathrowlhrbangkokbkk in january i noticed that the world traveller seat is listed as inch seat pitch but when i tried to search for the seat pitch and leg room stats for the world traveller plus on bacom to compare just what i get in return for the higher price i could not find the stats just some vague reference to increased seat recline so does anyone have those stats or know the difference also i would be interested in any views on the two types of choices and ba in general from someone who flies with them often or who has any knowledge that could help me decide if the added cost is worth it i also would like to know if someone has a tip on getting discount world traveller plus seats i tried to check on various online flight websites but most would only give me prices for economy or would give me insane prices sometimes double what i could book on bacom for the wt seats i would prefer to book the wt if i could just find a better fare the best price i could find being on the bacom website for the wt at around allin price and the best economy flight is just over allin round trip on a discount website located in canada my travel dates are janth yullhrbkk return feb bkklhryul and those dates are some what flex i am interested in booking ba because it has only one stop that is so appealing to me with air france the only other airline that would have only one stop cdg and the fact that i would be on the same carrier on both legs decreasing the chance of lost luggage thanks in advance
