bonjour à tous,
alors primo, non je ne suis pas une cinglée, j'aime mon poisson rouge, normalement, je veux dire par là que je ne lui achète pas de petites combinaisons assorties....
bref, je pars vivre un an à l'étranger et j'aimerais l'emmener avec moi, le hic c'est que le vol dure 13 heure non stop et que je voyage sur air france....
j'aimerais savoir si c'est autorisé car les informations sur le site d'air france sont assez laconiques et quel est le matériel à prévoir, simple sac en plastique ou petit bunker hermétique ?
merci à tous😛
LOL je ne peux pas te renseigner…mais tu m'a fais trop rire!!LOL
Cependant à mon avis ton poisson voyagera en cabine…si tu l'as en sac plastique, tu pourras p'têtre lui changer les idées dans un verre d'eau de temps en temps😏😉🙂
remarque tu pourrai aussi poser le logo AF sur sa combi preferée…il voyagerait gratos!!😛
une âme d'aventuriere ne peut se rejouir enracinée dans son quotidien…
Les ti chats et le poisson rouge 😮 Ca fait un peu Titi et gros minet ton affaire 😉
Non, pour parler plus sérieusement, il faudrait déjà que tu sois sûre que les autorités sanitaires du pays où tu te rends acceptent l'importation de cet animal, car si tu as 13 heures de vol, c'est que tu te rends dans un pays lointain, et en général, il y a souvent pour ces pays une mise en quarantaine.
Et puis peût-être que comme pour les chiens et les chats, il lui faut un passeport à ce petit Némo. Sinon dans un an, tu ne pourras pas lui faire faire le retour 🙁
comme<< gabye >> cela m'a fait rire .. mais je m'abstiendrais de faire une critique .. j'ai eut pas mal de remarque du personnel a terre se moquant de moi a me voir avec une machine a coudre a bord .. oui tout vol ..
je crois que Nemo doit endosser le costard de James Bond 007 .. et se faire discret .. j'opterais pour le tank . car si il y a fuite d'eau .. on va croire que quelqu'un a fait pipi dans l'avion .. ( mais il faut savoir que il est interdit d'importer certaines espèces de poisson ..) donc si tu ne veut pas mètre 80% de personnel de un aéroport a loucher sur le poisson et a donner chacun un avis diffèrent ... met le en sous-marin ..
d toute façon aux rayon X il n;'auras pas la forme de un vilain terroriste ..
bon vol Nemo ..

A mon avis aussi, faut la jouer discrète ! Un poisson rouge, tu as de la chance ça miaule pas, ça aboie pas non plus ....donc ça peut passer incognito.
C'est bien de s'interesser à AF, mais le poisson tu crois qu'il est d'accord ? ça va pas lui faire mal aux ouïes la pressurisation et l'altitude ? 😏
Promis je me moque pas, téléphone quand même à un véto !
Faudrait pas qu'il supporte pas ...
🙂merci à vous pour vos conseils, réponses et autres réactions !!! je m'attendais un peu au pire mais non....
c'est sympa pour Némo, lui aussi suit cette affaire de près !😉
donc d'après vous je devrais la jouer discret, discret......sous le manteau....
il faut que je pofine tout ça...
merci encore à vous, je vous tiendrai au courant de la suite des opérations!
laetisha
Pour ma part, je suis pas si sur que ça que de la jouer incognito te facilite els choses. Au contraire, joue la clean et réglo histoire de passer pour une fille sans problème et sans rien à cacher. Car s'ils te choppent avec le poisson caché, t risques non seulement de perdre ton NEMO, mais ensute de passer un mauvais quart d'heure, de devoir payer une amande, voire de perdre ton vol et ne pas voir réaliser tes projets.
Ca fait bcp pourune mise en régle qui doit sans doute être très simple. Suffit de se renseigner auprès de la compagnie aérienne que tu dois prendre, ils te donnenront la démarche à suivre.
Je pense que c'est vraimùent trop risqué que de se faire passer pour une personne que tu n'es sans doute pas, et là, tu auras bcp de malà te justifier...
Bon courage.
Salut, Je voudrais pas te saper le moral mais à mon avis c'est pas une bonne idée de se la jouer incognito. Déjà parce que je suis pas sur que le passage aux rayons X soit très bon pour le poisson. En plus parce que suivant les pays, l'importation d'un animal vivant sans le déclarer peut être considérée comme empoisonnement de la faune locale et passible de prison. C'est quand même pas cool de se retrouver en taule pour un poisson rouge.... Tu trouveras ci dessous une partie de la réglementation concernant le transport d'animaux aquatiques. Pour ce qui est du transport en cabine, il est normalement réservé aux mamifères et à quelques types d'oiseaux... Du coup, Némo va devoir voyager en soute en container spécial ( essaye d'appeler Air France Cargo pour voir si ils en vendent et quel est le plus petit modèle.) CHAPITRE 1.5.1.
DISPOSITIONS CONCERNANT LES TRANSPORTS Article 1.5.1.1.Dispositions générales
1. Dans chaque pays, ces dispositions devraient être rendues obligatoires par voie législative ou réglementaire et réunies, avec leurs modalités d’application, dans un recueil mis à la disposition de toutes les parties intéressées.
2. Les véhicules (ou conteneurs) utilisés pour le transport des animaux aquatiques doivent être conçus, construits et aménagés de manière à supporter le poids de l’eau et des animaux aquatiques et à garantir leur sécurité et leur bien-être durant le transport. Les véhicules doivent être rigoureusement nettoyés et désinfectés avant usage, conformément aux lignes directrices figurant dans le présent Code.
3. Les véhicules (ou conteneurs) dans lesquels les animaux aquatiques sont enfermés durant un transport par mer ou par air doivent être solidement arrimés de manière à garantir des conditions de transport optimales, et à permettre au convoyeur d’accéder facilement aux animaux.
Article 1.5.1.2.Dispositions particulières aux conteneurs
1. La construction des conteneurs destinés aux transports d’animaux aquatiques doit être réalisée de telle sorte que de l’eau, etc. ne se répande pas au dehors durant le transport.
2. Dans le cas de transport d’animaux aquatiques, les conteneurs doivent être pourvus d’aménagements pour permettre d’en voir le contenu.
3. Les conteneurs en transit contenant des produits d’animaux aquatiques ne doivent pas être ouverts, sauf si les Autorités compétentes du pays de transit le jugent nécessaire, et, dans ce cas, des précautions permettant d’éviter tout risque de contamination seront prises.
4. Ne doivent être chargés dans les conteneurs que des produits de même nature ou, à défaut, des produits non susceptibles de contamination réciproque.
5. Il appartient à chaque pays de définir les installations qu’il entend mettre à disposition pour le transport et l’importation d’animaux aquatiques et de produits d’animaux aquatiques en conteneurs.
Article 1.5.1.3.Dispositions particulières au transport aérien des animaux aquatiques
1. Les densités de chargement pour le transport des animaux aquatiques en aéronef ou en conteneur devraient être fixées en prenant en considération :
a) le nombre total de mètres cubes d’espace disponible pour chaque espèce d’animal aquatique ;
b) la capacité d’oxygénation de l’équipement de l’aéronef et des conteneurs au sol et pendant toutes les phases du vol.
En ce qui concerne les poissons, les mollusques et les crustacés, l’espace alloué à chaque espèce d’animal aquatique dans les aéronefs ou conteneurs dont l’aménagement est prévu pour le transport séparé de plusieurs animaux aquatiques ou pour le transport d’animaux aquatiques en groupe doit être conforme aux densités acceptables spécifiées pour l’espèce considérée.
2. La réglementation de l’Association internationale du transport aérien (IATA) sur les animaux vivants (qui a reçu l’agrément de l’OIE) peut être adoptée si elle n’est pas en opposition avec les dispositions législatives nationales. (Des copies de cette réglementation peuvent être obtenues auprès de l’Association internationale du transport aérien, 800 Place Victoria, P.O. Box 113, Montreal, Quebec, Canada H4Z 1M1.)
Article 1.5.1.4.Désinfection et autres mesures sanitaires
1. La désinfection et toute autre opération zoosanitaire doivent être exécutées de manière à :
a) éviter toute gêne non justifiée et à ne causer aucun préjudice à la santé des personnes et des animaux aquatiques ;
b) ne pas causer de dommage à la structure du véhicule ou à ses appareils de bord ;
c) éviter, dans la mesure du possible, tout dommage aux produits d’animaux aquatiques, aux œufs de poisson, et aux larves de mollusques ou de crustacés.
2. Sur demande, l’Autorité compétente délivre au transporteur un certificat indiquant les mesures appliquées à tout véhicule, les parties du véhicule qui ont été traitées, les méthodes employées ainsi que les raisons qui ont motivé l’application de ces mesures.
Dans le cas d’un aéronef, le certificat peut être remplacé, sur demande, par une inscription dans la Déclaration générale d’aéronef.
3. De même, l’Autorité compétente délivre sur demande :
a) un certificat indiquant la date d’arrivée et de départ des animaux aquatiques ;
b) au chargeur ou à l’exportateur, au réceptionnaire et au transporteur ou à leurs agents respectifs, un certificat indiquant les mesures appliquées.
Article 1.5.1.5.Traitement de l’eau de transport
Lors du transport des animaux aquatiques, le transporteur ne doit être autorisé ni à rejeter ni à renouveler l’eau des cuves de transport en dehors des sites spécialement prévus à cet effet sur le territoire national considéré. L’eau de rejet et l’eau de rinçage ne doivent pas être déversées dans un système d’évacuation aboutissant directement dans un milieu aquatique peuplé d’animaux aquatiques. L’eau des cuves doit, par conséquent, être soit désinfectée selon un procédé reconnu (50 mg d’iode ou de chlore par litre et par heure, par exemple), soit épandue sur des terrains sans déversement direct dans des eaux peuplées d’animaux aquatiques. Il appartient à chaque pays de désigner sur son territoire national les sites dans lesquels ces opérations peuvent s’effectuer.
Article 1.5.1.6.Déversement de matières infectées
L’Autorité compétente doit prendre toutes les mesures pratiques nécessaires pour empêcher un navire de déverser, dans les eaux intérieures ou territoriales, des matières susceptibles de transmettre une maladie infectieuse.
🙁tu viens de me saper le moral lol
bah faut que je me renseigne sur la petite boite adéquate😊
merci pour toutes ces précisions précieuses
sur quel site tu as trouvé toute cette doc?
merki biensur
Tu devrais demander aux Maquereaux, ils ont l'habitude de s'envoyer en l'air, alors si tu leur tends la Perche (euh, le poisson rouge), ils te fourniront des sacs et Tanches 😉
Sur le site : http://www.vetofish.com mais en fait ce n'est qu'une recopie de la réglementation IATA sur le transport des animaux vivants et sur les marchandises dangereuses. J'ai vu qu'il y'avait un forum sur ce site. Pose leur la question, ils ont l'air d'être calé niveau poissons.....
Ensuite je pense qu'entre la réglementation et la mise en oeuvre pour un poisson rouge il doit y'avoir moyen d'adapter et de simplifier un peu ( sutout concernant le traitement de l'au, le nombre de m3 etc...), mais pour ce qui est du container je pense que tu n'auras pas trop le choix, surtout pour des raisons de sécurité de l'avion. On n'aime pas trop avoir des containers bricolés en soute, surtout s'ils contiennent de l'eau, même pas beaucoup...
juste un ti truc…si t'envoies ton poisson rouge en voyage…via la soute …achetes-lui une combi/ski type Grand Nord parce que là il risque vraiment d'attraper froid le pauvre…A moins que tu veuilles faire dans l'export de congelé😎😉🙂
une âme d'aventuriere ne peut se rejouir enracinée dans son quotidien…
Si tu veux que ton poisson rouge survit, laisse le derriere.
Les poissons, c' est pas fait pour voler... Comme les zhumains. A part, bien sur, les poissons...
Volants.

j'appelle air france demain donc je verrai bien ce qu'ils me diront, j'espère qu'ils vont pas raccrocher en croyant que c'est un canular...
en tous les cas merci à tous pour vos réponses, c'est drôle ce qu'une histoire comme celle-là peut mobiliser de gens!!! tout n'est pas perdu!!! vamos
ps : je pars en argentine !!!!😉
laetisha ET Albert-némo 1er
Encore heureux qu'il y ait des gens qui aiment aussi les sujets légers (poids plume ton albert ! 😉 ), divertissant et sympatique (franchement faut oser comme thème de post ! 🤪 😏 )
Bon, tu nous donneras de vos nouvelles ... mais quand même le pov chou je crains le pire si il voyage, tu as tél à un véto ?
🙁mon histoire s'enlise.....
j'ai appelé air france, la femme au bout du fil a été très sympa mais elle n'avait pas l'information, ni son superviseur d'ailleurs....en tous cas, ça a fait rire tout le service, pour une fois qu'on les appelle pas pour une réclamation !
en gros il faut que j'appelle le consulat d'argentine pour leur demander le règlement sanitaire et voir si l'argentine accepte l'importation de poissons rouges sur son territoire, ensuite il faudrait que je fasse faire un carnet vétérinaire pour Béber, c'est la politique d'air france pour tous les animaux or je me vois mal aller faire examiner mon poisson par un véto.....😕 quoi de 9 docteur, apte au vol ou pas?
je pense que c'est la fin de l'histoire de petit rouge dans le grand bleu ! Béber ne connaitra pas les horizons lointains... il est parisien et finalement plutot sédentaire.......un peu trop à mon gout!
j'ai rêvé d'un poisson volant....mais en 2005 c'est pas encore possible......c'est cool, il reste encore plein de "défis" à relever! 😉
en tout cas merci à vous !!!!
ps : le dessin m'a fait beaucoup rire !
Béber vous salue bien!

Hi,
I’m thinking of heading to Malaysia soon.
I’ve seen some great prices and direct flights from Paris with Malaysia Airlines.
Is it a reliable airline?
Thanks for your feedback!
Back in February, I booked a flight with Air France-KLM from Lyon to San Diego with a layover in Amsterdam (flights operated by KLM). The flight is scheduled for late August.
My Lyon→Amsterdam flight was canceled by KLM in June, and a replacement flight the evening before was booked for me. So, I’ll end up spending the night at Amsterdam Airport to catch my flight to San Diego the next morning.
Since the cancellation happened more than 14 days before departure, I know I’m not entitled to financial compensation (EU Regulation 261/2004). But am I entitled to reimbursement for a hotel night in Amsterdam?
Hi there,
We had planned a trip to Sicily in August, and due to the volcanic eruption of Mount Etna, my flight was canceled. The airline is refunding the outbound flight, but none of the non-refundable expenses: accommodation booked through Booking, rental car, and the return flight aren’t covered. My SUPER Gold card doesn’t work in this specific case! :( If anyone has been in this situation, could you let me know if you were able to get any recourse and, if so, how?
Thanks in advance
I’ve been traveling regularly for over twenty years,
but this is the first time an airline has treated me as poorly as Air France.
Two trips, two problems. The latest:
Trip from Seoul to Rennes. Last leg from Paris CDG to Rennes with Air France.
I arrive in Paris and go straight to Air France to get my boarding pass to Rennes. They assure me my baggage is continuing to Rennes.
Arriving in Rennes, no baggage—same as five other people.
The Air France office is closed, and the airport staff tell me there’s rarely anyone there.
With the help of the airport staff, I file a claim online, and my baggage is almost immediately located. As a result, I’m told I’ll have it the next day.
Four days later, the baggage is still in the same place at CDG—nothing’s moving.
The problem is Air France has no customer service. What they call customer service is a department that takes an hour to answer and just repeats what’s on the online form. No coordination, no way to get things moving. I guess Air France would rather pay the compensation after 21 days than actually do something.
I’ve had lost baggage on other trips, but this is the first time I’ve seen such indifference and lack of professionalism.
Hi,
Air Cairo offers good prices on domestic flights and schedules that work for us, but is this airline reliable?
Thanks in advance for your feedback.
Hi,
I booked an Etihad ticket on their website for Dusseldorf-Abu Dhabi. In the first name field, I entered all my first names (something I never do and I regret it, but the site was confusing). Everything is spelled correctly, but the problem is that I just received my new passport and only my first two first names and the first letter of the third appear—there’s no trace of the last one.
I called Etihad, and of course, they tried to charge me $100 USD to remove that last first name. But I’m hesitant because usually, I only put my first first name and not the others, and I’ve never had an issue... So I’m wondering if having that extra first name, which isn’t on my passport, could get me denied at check-in.
Thanks for your feedback!
Hi everyone,
Next January, I’m heading to India.
My outbound flight is with Emirates from Paris to Dubai, then another Emirates flight from Dubai to Calcutta.
Could anyone tell me how the connection works? I’ve heard there’s a dedicated Emirates zone, but how does it actually work in practice—I’ve got a 2-hour layover.
Thanks so much!
Take care.
I’d like to fly to Malta from Lyon.
I’ve read a lot of negative reviews about KM MALTA, especially regarding baggage fees at the airport.
Of course, I don’t want to book through third parties (like SkyScanner, Opodo…).
AIR FRANCE offers tickets to MALTA in partnership, if I understood correctly.
On AIR FRANCE, the tickets include everything (checked baggage, cabin bag, small personal item, seat), whereas with KM MALTA, everything is extra and the final price is almost double!
In this case, is AIR FRANCE considered the same as sites like Opodo or others?
Given the price difference, I’m hesitant…
Have any of you booked with AIR FRANCE for this destination? How did it go?
Thanks,
HERVE
Hi everyone, I’ve unfortunately only just noticed that I booked two flight tickets, but I made a mistake on the second first name. Basically, my computer auto-filled and typed my first name twice, so both tickets are in my first name. Only the last names—mine and my friend’s—are correct.
TAP Portugal refuses to make the change because they consider it a change of passenger, even though it’s clearly a typo (plus, my last name isn’t common).
I’m leaving in 5 days, and buying a new ticket would cost 3 times the original price. Has anyone been in this situation before? I’d like to try negotiating at the airport, but it’s a gamble… Thanks in advance for any advice!
Since it came into force, Regulation 261/2004 of the European Parliament and Council, which defines air passenger rights, has faced fierce resistance from airlines, backed by IATA (the association representing almost all passenger airlines).
Beyond the airlines' often abusive—and even frequently bad-faith—resistance to passenger rights, IATA has been lobbying EU institutions for years, with the Council paying close attention for a long time.
As a result, the Council and the Commission have been proposing revisions to Regulation 261/2004 for years that are particularly unfavorable to passengers. The latest attempt nearly eliminated the right to compensation for delays of 3 hours or more upon arrival at the final destination.
However, since this is a regulation of both the European Parliament AND the Council, the two bodies had to agree.
But the European Parliament has always stood firm, consistently responding that passenger rights must be preserved.
After 11 years of struggle, it seems likely that we’re finally nearing the end of the match between the European Commission, the Council (the 27 heads of state or government), and the European Parliament.
Indeed, the Commission and the European Parliament have agreed on a text that will be debated again on Monday, July 6, 2026, with a vote scheduled for July 7, 2026. It’s very likely that this text, which would come into force in a year, will be adopted.
The main changes would be as follows:
- Families with children will no longer be forced to pay to sit together on planes;
- A flight will be considered canceled (not just delayed) if it departs more than one hour late;
- Right to compensation for arrival at the final destination if the delay exceeds 3 hours (no longer "3 hours OR more"). The arrival time will be when the plane, having reached its parking spot, engages its parking brakes (no longer when the aircraft door opens);
- Airlines can no longer refuse boarding or charge extra on the return flight for a passenger who didn’t take the outbound flight;
- If a flight is canceled, the airline must, at the same time as informing passengers of the event, offer the choice between a refund and re-routing, and inform them of their rights to assistance and, if applicable, compensation;
- The airline must, without undue delay, inform passengers of the reason;
- In the case of a connecting flight, if the connection is missed and the delay at the final destination entitles the passenger to compensation, the responsible airline will be liable. This is very different from the current situation, where, under the KLM ruling, any airline operating a segment of the flight is liable for compensation. This promises more disputes that the Court of Justice of the European Union will have to resolve if two separate airlines operating segments of a connecting flight are both responsible for the delay. See this case for an example: https://retardimportantavion.wordpress.com/2026/04/18/swiss-international-air-lines-la-mauvaise-foi/
Moreover, this case demonstrates in advance another potential dispute: It could be argued that it wasn’t a missed connection since the flight was canceled before the first leg even departed.
- Within 96 hours of a flight that could entitle passengers to compensation, the airline must contact them to inform them of their rights and explain the next steps.
- Passengers must claim their right to compensation within 9 months. This is very different from the current situation, as Regulation 261/2004 sets no time limit. Currently, national law applies—in France, the limit is 5 years. The airline must respond within 30 days. If the airline refuses compensation on the grounds of "extraordinary circumstances," it must specify which type of case it refers to from the list in the annex of the new regulation. If the case isn’t on the list, the airline must explain what the event was, why it qualifies as extraordinary circumstances with "clear, substantial, and concise" explanations, and why it’s directly linked to the reason given. It must also declare what "reasonable measures" were taken to mitigate the issue. This is, of course, a huge change in the regulation, with the clear goal of preventing airlines from declaring just anything as "extraordinary circumstances" to avoid compensation.
- If, within 3 hours of a last-minute canceled or delayed flight, the airline hasn’t offered re-routing under comparable transport conditions and as soon as possible—whether on one of its own flights or another airline’s—the passenger will have the right to arrange their own re-routing and demand a refund for the new ticket, up to 400% of the original ticket price. This is a significant improvement that would have likely prevented the case described here: https://retardimportantavion.wordpress.com/2024/01/12/reacheminement-catastrophique-droit-indemnisation-meme-circonstances-extraordinaires-2/
- If a flight is canceled due to "extraordinary circumstances," the airline will only be required to offer up to 3 nights in a hotel. This is a major change, as there’s currently no limit. Expect disputes if the extraordinary circumstances end while the passenger hasn’t been re-routed.
- The price of a flight, as first displayed, must obligatorily include a cabin bag. This doesn’t prevent the airline from offering a price reduction if the passenger waives the cabin bag. This will put an end to abnormal practices, such as (just one example) Condor charging extra for a cabin bag on long-haul flights like Frankfurt (Germany)–Puerto Plata (Dominican Republic)–Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic)–Frankfurt.
- Free correction of a passenger’s name if requested 48 hours before departure. Note: This can’t be used to replace one passenger with another—just to correct a typo, e.g., Dupont instead of Dpont.
- Airlines’ websites and apps must include information on how to file a claim.
It’s clear that, despite a few details, these changes are very positive for upholding passenger rights. It remains to be seen whether this text will be definitively adopted on July 7, 2026, as is very likely, and, more importantly, whether IATA will encourage airlines to loyally respect these new rules or persist in their old habits.
I’m planning a trip to Georgia this summer and I’ve been comparing some airlines. I’m not particularly set on flying with Pegasus (though it’s convenient with direct flights from Lyon to Tbilisi), but right off the bat, Pegasus states this:
As of January 1, 2026, all foreign nationals traveling to Georgia for tourism purposes will be required to present valid travel health insurance. Guests who fail to provide the relevant health insurance will not be accepted on our flights to Georgia.
Sincerely,
Pegasus Airlines
In other words, if you don’t show proof of travel health insurance, you’ll be denied boarding.
Personally, my credit card insurance has always been enough for me, and I’d rather not take out extra coverage...
Have any of you run into this issue before? If not, what do you think? Why is Pegasus asking for this proof? Other airlines don’t mention it at all.
I bought my flight ticket with my first (usual) first name, which appears first on my passport. However, I have two first names on my passport, and of course, it’s mentioned in the machine-readable zone at the bottom.
I booked with Turkish Airlines (through an online agency) for a trip to South Korea.
I wanted to know if it would be a problem that I only used my first first name on the ticket, while my passport has two. I had requested through the agency to add the second first name, but the airline refused because it doesn’t meet their general conditions. (They must have seen that the last name and first name were the same, and only the second first name was added.)
So, my ticket has my last name and first first name correctly spelled, and when I check in online, I’ll enter the passport details correctly.
I’ll have a layover in Istanbul on the flight.
Thanks in advance for your replies.
Have a great day.
Hi there,
I traveled in June 2025 with Nouvelair Destinations to Hammamet.
I had one checked bag and one carry-on sized 40x24x30, which I usually take on low-cost flights, and I didn’t have any issues. But I just read on a website that Nouvel Air only accepts carry-ons of 40x20x15. I’m flying back to Djerba in June—what do you think? Especially since that size is impossible to find??????? Thanks
Hi, it's my first time taking a plane and I chose EasyJet for a Geneva -> Barcelona flight.
I booked my ticket.
I received my booking reference by email, but I don’t see the actual ticket (barcode or QR code?).
Then I checked in to get the boarding pass with the flight details, QR code, etc. But does this boarding pass act as the ticket?
Because I’ve seen several times online that the flight ticket and the boarding pass aren’t the same thing.
We're leaving for Albania on June 18th. When I validated the flight tickets with Wizz Air on Booking, I only put my son's first name but forgot to include his other three first names on the ticket.
On the passport: SURNAME: Dupont, FIRST NAMES: toto titi tutu tata
On the flight ticket: SURNAME: Dupont, FIRST NAME: toto
I can't seem to reach anyone at Wizz Air to get an answer.
Booking and Wizz Air's chat say I need to modify it, but ChatGPT says it should be fine.
I wanted to know if he can fly like this or if I need to change his ticket?
(It costs 140 €, I know I shouldn't have made a mistake🙁)
Basically, all airlines have been blacklisted because they don’t meet European safety standards. They’re banned from flying in Europe but continue operating in Tanzania.
The main issue is that travel agencies’ civil liability no longer applies to blacklisted airlines.
So we can’t allow clients to fly with these carriers.
Of course, there’s huge pressure from European agencies, which are forced to disrupt their plans or even cancel trips because of this.
Personally, I’ve got a trip planned for February 2026 to the southern parks in Tanzania, so I’ll be keeping an eye on how this develops.
Do any of you have updates?
Thanks!
Right now, with the war raging in Iran and affecting all the neighboring countries of the Persian Gulf, many airports are completely closed to all traffic.
Several airlines like Qatar Airways, Emirates, and others have almost completely halted their operations.
Whether in the Middle East or Africa, many travelers are stranded—maybe for a long time... A heartfelt thought for them and the struggles this will cause.
Four months ago, I was in Kenya with a flight booked through Qatar Airways... I can’t even imagine how I’d react if I were stuck there now. ??
Wishing all these travelers courage, patience, and success in making it back home.
Hello, some (potentially) good news for Brazil lovers—GOL airline is launching a route to Europe from Rio, starting in September for Lisbon, then Paris at a later date that hasn’t been announced yet.
They’ll be using their new A330-900 neo.
No prices have been announced so far, but hopefully we’ll find direct flights from GIG at a more interesting fare than AF or Latam…
I’m really surprised because in TUI’s new tour packages, the airlines they’re using are of low quality. Before, they used to prioritize major airlines, but now it’s small airlines from small countries—companies with terrible ratings and borderline safety concerns. I even just noticed this note for a Tanzania trip: "We inform you that the domestic flight segment in Tanzania included in your trip is operated by an airline listed on the European Union’s list of air carriers subject to an operating ban within the European Union. This ban only applies to European Union airspace, meaning this airline is not permitted to take off, land, or fly over European airspace. However, this airline is authorized to operate in Tanzania."
This means they’re using airlines on the blacklist!! It’s pretty worrying for safety. What do you all think?
We’re planning a cruise to the UAE/QATAR/OMAN starting from DUBAI, with flights departing from Paris CDG.
Which airlines would you recommend for round-trip flights, with or without a layover?
We need assistance for check-in and boarding/disembarking (my husband is a mobility-impaired traveler who uses a cane and/or a walker).
We’ve done a cruise return from Dubai to Paris CDG before in 2016, with a layover in Istanbul, but we booked the transfer and return flight with COSTA.
For our current plan, it would be with Celestyal, which doesn’t offer round-trip flights from Paris to Dubai.
Should we book very far in advance, or is a few months before departure enough (4/6 months)?
We’re thinking of arriving the day before the ship departs, so we’d need to stay overnight in Dubai—either on the way there or for the return flight, depending on the flight schedules. Could you recommend a hotel not too far from the airport, and how to get to the port from the airport?
Thanks so much for your advice. Have a great Sunday! Mum49
Hi,
It's all in the title—this means nothing's getting through, so no more oil.
In Europe, kerosene reserves are still good, but by the end of April, flights will have to be reduced.
European airports fear running out of kerosene if the Strait of Hormuz isn’t reopened within three weeks
I’m reaching out to ask for your help with a bit of a problem:
I booked a flight to Berlin from Orly for April 15th—it’s coming up fast. But I just made an annoying discovery: my passport expired two weeks ago.
From what I understand, in principle, I can still travel within the Schengen Zone with an expired passport as long as it’s been less than five years. However, EasyJet’s website explicitly requires a valid ID (and just to add to the fun, my national ID card has been expired for a while now).
So, I’d love to know: how strict are EasyJet’s ID checks? Do they enforce validity rules strictly and refuse boarding if the ID isn’t valid? Or is it more of a luck-of-the-draw situation?
Basically, should I just write off this trip now, or should I still try my luck—maybe with a little tearful plea? Has anyone here had a similar experience? I can’t be the only one, right!
I booked a flight with RyanAir for next month, with the priority+ option and two cabin bags. So I can take a 10 kg bag with dimensions 55x40x20 in the cabin (plus another smaller one).
The problem is that the smallest suitcase I have (which is supposed to be designed specifically for cabin size standards, according to the manual) has the following dimensions: 55x37x21, so it's just 1 cm over (wheels included) on one of the measurements.
I wasn’t too worried at first, but I’ve read dozens of stories about people’s misadventures and the hassles they’ve had with RyanAir.
Since I don’t want my suitcase to end up in the hold (that would waste time picking it up when I’m already arriving late and need to get to the city center), nor do I want to pay an extra fee (apparently 50 €) for the outbound and return flights for just 1 centimeter—especially since I paid for the "priority+" option and I’m not exactly rolling in money—I’d love some advice.
Have any of you been in the same situation? I’ve read that with this airline, they check bags in templates (testing them in different positions) and are completely uncompromising. I tried contacting customer service, who, as luck would have it, "don’t handle this kind of request," and a rep I spoke to wasn’t much help.
I know it’s a low-cost airline, and I don’t expect luxury or even kindness, but come on—just 1 cm on a short flight with the + option... I’m a bit overwhelmed by everything I’ve read...
Just to clarify, since I’m going for 8 days, I can’t just take one bag for my stuff. I’ve done that for shorter trips before, and it was a hassle—I even had to buy an extra bag for the return trip... Luckily, the inspector was nice about it!
Thanks so much!
I’m a newbie when it comes to air travel :) Hope I posted this in the right section!
When I run searches on Skyscanner, I see that only Lufthansa has flights to Seoul with just one stop. Air France doesn’t show up, even though I thought the French airline served Seoul?
I can’t even log into the Air France website—it keeps glitching.
Hi there,
I’d like to return to Uzbekistan next April for 10 days with my husband to visit our son who lives there. We went last July and I bought the flight tickets (direct flight from Paris on Uzbekistan Airways) about 2 months in advance at very reasonable prices. I’ve been checking for late April for a few weeks now, and the tickets are much more expensive and keep rising. I can’t figure out if the prices are going up because it’s still a bit too early to buy and they’ll likely drop if the planes aren’t full, or if it’s because the period is actually in high demand. For reference, last year I bought my son’s ticket on May 30th for a departure on June 3rd—just 3 days later—at a very low price that didn’t budge at all.
Just in case, does anyone know the pricing trends for this airline and can advise me? Should I wait or not?
Thanks, and feel free to ask if you need any tips about the country!
My wife bought a flight ticket (Lucky Air) under her Thai maiden name and was issued a Chinese visa on her new Thai passport but with her French married name (due to administrative requirements). She was denied boarding by the airline in Bangkok for the flight to Kunming—resulting in the loss of our round-trip flight tickets, including mine since we were traveling together—despite presenting both passports at the airline counter at the same time.
Hi there.
I’m planning a trip to Chile, and the fares from the Colombian airline Avianca are really appealing.
Way cheaper than Air France, for example.
That said, the reviews I’ve seen online aren’t great.
What do you think of this airline?
Have any of you taken long-haul flights with Avianca?
Thanks in advance for your replies.
Eric
This might be a silly question, but I’m traveling to Japan from CDG and returning via Osaka with EVA Air, and I have a pretty bulky aluminum knee brace.
It’s this model:

Has anyone had any experience with airport security checks or flying with one of these?
I can't seem to find flights between the Cape Verde islands on the airline's website. No matter the date or route, I always get the same response: "no flights on this date."
See the photo.
Would anyone have an explanation? Surely not all flights are fully booked in July?
