Hi,
I’m planning a trip to Australia—Paris to Melbourne.
I’m flying with Etihad and have a 1-hour connection in Abu Dhabi.
Does that seem doable to you?
Thanks for your feedback and experiences!
Hello,
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

Bonsoir,
Nous venons de rentrer du Viet Nam et avons voyagé avec Etihad (billets achetés sur le site de la compagnie)
Nous avons cumulé les problèmes à l'aller comme au retour
- retard de plus de 7h à l'aller
- bagages arrivés avec 48 h de retard
- pour le retour, nous avons du acheter un billet pour rallier Singapour car le billet vendu par Etihad pour faire HCMC/Singapour était erroné (le vol proposé à l'heure affichée partait en fait la veille !). J'ai contacté Etihad du Vietnam, une semaine avant le supposé vol quand j'ai constaté le problème, ils n'ont RIEN fait. Chaque message recevait une réponse du style, "notre équipe travaille a vous trouver un vol" , il n'empêche que j'ai du acheter un autre billet.
J'ai donc plusieurs motifs de réclamation !!!
Je souhaite envoyer des courriers recommandés à la compagnie pour enclencher mes demandes mais je ne trouve pas d'adresse postale valide (j'avais trouvé une adresse rue du Berry à Paris 8ème, mais mes lettres sont revenues.
L'un(e) d'entre vous peut il m'aider?
Merci par avance

Hi,
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.

On February 19, 2025, we traveled on Cathay Pacific flight CX702, which was supposed to take us from Bangkok to Paris Charles de Gaulle, with a transfer via their Hong Kong hub.
The departure from Bangkok was scheduled for 7:15 PM, with an arrival in Hong Kong at 11:05 PM local time.
The layover was supposed to last 1 hour and 10 minutes, and we were due to take off for Paris on flight CX261 at 12:15 AM, with a scheduled arrival at CDG at 7:35 AM local time.
From Bangkok, flight CX702 took off over an hour late. The scraps of information provided didn’t give us any real idea of the reason for the delay or whether we’d make our connection in Hong Kong on flight CX261.
Then, on the plane, the CX702 crew couldn’t tell us anything about the connection or confirm that our luggage would be transferred to Paris (we were pretty worried, as our bags contained research materials and results).
Upon arrival in Hong Kong, we were immediately told—without any explanation—that we wouldn’t be taking flight CX261!
The staff then rushed us through the airport corridors, past Chinese police checks, after handing us two non-regulation flight tickets for CX289 to Frankfurt instead of Paris.
These tickets were scribbled in ballpoint pen, with a departure time that had already passed and no gate information.
The plane took off on February 20, 2025, well after the scheduled 12:15 AM departure. We landed in Frankfurt around 7:00 AM local time.
From there, after going through additional security checks and completely exhausted from the journey, we had to walk through Frankfurt Airport’s endless corridors—only to find out we’d been dropped off at the opposite end from the gate for flights to CDG.
Not to mention, when we reached gate A01, we were told we had to backtrack to gate A24. And as if that wasn’t enough after 15 hours of travel, the gate changed again without any announcement or email.
You’d think Cathay Pacific’s management would know how long these walks are...
In the end, we arrived at Paris CDG at 1:30 PM—six hours later than scheduled, with an extra layover in Frankfurt.
Discussion: Cathay Pacific informed us via email on February 19—while we were already in the air—that our connection had been canceled for "commercial and operational reasons."
Yet, the plane for flight CX289 was full of passengers, so there was no reason the original flight CX261 couldn’t have been delayed. We concluded we were victims of overbooking—without being told!
Especially since the rerouting to Frankfurt seemed well-rehearsed...
Regarding the overbooking, our tickets were flexible, and we paid an extra 220 € for that.
We should *never* have been overbooked!!!
I also want to let other travelers know that Cathay Pacific initially told us via email that our delayed arrival in Paris would be at 10:30 AM instead of 7:35 AM.
We immediately arranged for colleagues in Paris to pick us up at that time.
Except the arrival time was changed *again* to 1:30 PM. And by then, we couldn’t get home before the evening of February 21, with all the extra costs that entailed.
Back in Frankfurt, we were stuck waiting from 7:00 AM to 12:15 PM on some of the most uncomfortable seats, with no refreshments, snacks, or assistance—right in the middle of the constant flow of travelers heading for short- and medium-haul flights. The least they could’ve done was let us into the international lounge, which would’ve been far more suitable for exhausted, freezing travelers. Right?
On this point, European law states that if an airline fails in its obligations, passengers can claim full compensation for material and moral damages without a cap. Moral damages can also be compensated (CJEU, October 13, 2011, case C-83/10).
And whether Cathay Pacific’s management likes it or not, commercial or technical issues causing flight cancellations or delays *do not* count as "extraordinary circumstances" that would exempt the airline from liability (CJEU ruling, November 19, 2009).
Most importantly, due to the over 6-hour delay and the distance between the departure airport and CDG, we should have been compensated at least 600 € per passenger under European law (Article 7 of Regulation (EC) 261/2004).
But that’s not possible because Cathay Pacific refuses to comply with European legislation guaranteeing compensation for travelers affected by such delays.
To bypass passenger rights, Cathay Pacific evades responsibility by claiming that, as a Chinese company headquartered in Hong Kong, it isn’t bound by European laws.
Yet that doesn’t stop them from enjoying commercial advantages by operating a French subsidiary for passenger transport, registered in the trade register and based in Neuilly-sur-Seine.
So it *is* subject to European law!!!
Air travelers are thus victims of Cathay Pacific’s strategies to circumvent European law...
In our case, we had to endure the cancellation of our access to flight CX261, an imposed layover in Frankfurt, no minimal assistance during the 5-hour wait in Germany, a delay of over 6 hours upon arrival, and the costs of an extra day to get home.
And as if that weren’t enough, we also suffered moral and financial damages due to the airline’s blatant disregard for its customers!
The fact is, Cathay Pacific and its executives subjected us to these damages because of an overbooking policy hidden from customers. We weren’t informed of our rights, the reasons for the delay or rerouting, or given any assistance during the imposed layover. We weren’t even refunded the extra we paid for flexible tickets—what was the point of that when overbooking was clearly planned?
And on top of it all, they excluded us from European law, which would’ve allowed us to be compensated 600 € each for the delay—totaling 1,200 €.
We wrote three times by registered mail with acknowledgment of receipt to Cathay Pacific’s Group CEO, the France Regional Director, and the head of the French-registered subsidiary.
No response—except an email refusing to comply with European legislation!
Given this policy of circumventing European law and passenger protections, Cathay Pacific’s online and in-agency flight offers *must* clearly inform customers that in case of delays, cancellations, or rerouting, they won’t be compensated by the Chinese airline!!!

des annonces qui, en vont pas loin .. et encore rien n'est précisé sur l'accesibilité a ces vols
- United Airlines n'ouvrirait que New York
- American Airlines n'ouvrirait que son hub principal Dallas ( DFW )
- Delta pas encore communique
** inutile de me dire dans quelques jours ou semaines que j'ai dit m'importe quoi c'est la situation à un moment donné donc connue ce 7 juin
Emirates just put out a statement, and for those of us struggling, it’s total nonsense. No concrete dates because they’re clueless, all dependent on military strikes. Don’t get your hopes up.
Good news for passengers stranded in the Gulf, though. Emirates expects its network to return to normal in the coming days. However, the resumption of commercial flights is still subject to airspace availability and meeting all operational conditions, Emirates said in a statement. The airline added that it transported around 30,000 passengers from Dubai on Thursday. By March 7, Emirates will operate 106 daily return flights to 83 destinations, covering nearly 60% of its network. The Dubai-based national airline was forced to cancel thousands of flights following Iran’s retaliatory strikes, which led the UAE to close its airspace and caused minor structural damage to its Dubai hub.

Hi there,
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.

Hi there,
I’d like to travel to Japan with my son. I read that it’s cheaper to fly via Hong Kong to reach other Asian countries. I tried it, and it’s indeed much cheaper, with better flight times on Cathay Pacific, which is a great airline. In short, it’s better—even though I think if I miss a flight, I’d lose everything.
I’d like to know if it’s easy to get around Hong Kong Airport? Do you have to go through customs again in these cases? Do you need to pay for some kind of transit visa?
If the layover is long, is it easy to head into the city for a quick visit?
Thanks for your feedback!

Il y avait évidemment des liaisons ferroviaires entre Genève et Kloten, mais qui n'étaient pas intégrées au billet d'avion. Donc coût en plus. J'imagine ( ce n'est pas mentionné dans l'article) qu'il y aura une garantie de re-routage au cas où le train arriverait en retard à Kloten?

Bonjour,
Suite à un changement d'horaire sur un vol Turkish Airlines, ma réservation a été "rééditée" et je constate en consultant mon nouveau billet que sur le vol retour (Ho Chi Minh - Luxembourg) le vol a été séparé en deux parties distinctes.
Je n'ai plus deux vols : un aller et un retour mais un vol aller et deux vols distincts au retour.
Cela change t-il quelque chose pour moi ? Dois je me méfier ?
Merci par avance de vos réponses.

Bonjour,
première fois en Afrique, j'ai un événement à Dakar et je dois ensuite me rendre en RDC, à Kinshasa.
Il y a un vol avec ASKY entre Dakar et Kinshasa, mais il y a un changement d'avion à Lomé, Togo, et seulement 1 h 30 de pause entre les vols. Est-ce assez à votre avis? Si je le rate, je suis coincée, ce qui me rend assez inconfortable, mais il n'y a pas d'alternative... ASKY semble fiable... vos opinions ou expériences? De quoi a l'air l'aéroport de Lomé?
Quelqu'un a des informations sur la situation de la sécurité à Kinshasa? On me dit que c'est calme et que les violences sont au Kivu, à des milliers de kilomètres.
Merci de vos informations.
Bonjour,
Mon épouse et moi-même souhaitons visiter Vancouver et la Colombie Britannique (pour entre autre, voir les ours et autres animaux sauvages) du 07 août au 17 ou 18 août 2020.
Concernant les vols, Air France propose des vols directs (A/R), mais un peu cher hélas (2.054,72 euros avec bagage en soute; du 07 août au 17 août)
Westjet propose une escale à Calgary (A/R) pour un total de 1.634,72 euros (avec bagage en soute) beaucoup plus avantageuse, par contre quel est le temps minimum pour la correspondance ? (formalités douanières j'imagine ; récupérer les bagages et les enregistrer de nouveau) . J'ai le choix entre 56 mn / 1h56 / 2h56. 🙂
Merci de vos précisions et retours 😉

Comme je l'ai déjà dit dans des précédentes demandes, je pars en Inde au mois de Février. Nous partons à 6 . Ce sont mes enfants qui se sont occupés du billet d'avion. Nous partons de Paris avec escale et changement d'avion à Varsovie. Ce qui m'inquiète: 40 minutes pour attraper le vol Varsovie-Delhi. Ce laps de temps me semble très très court et cela me stresse!!! quelqu'un a t-il déjà effectué ce vol et comment cela c'est-il passé???
Merci pour vos réponses qui je l'espère me rassureront!!!😛

Bonjour
Je suis en train de planifier un voyage au Costa Rica et les billets les moins chers sont avec la compagnie COPA airlines.
Je ne connais pas du tout les compagnies ariennes d’Amérique du Sud et je me demande si cette compagnie est sérieuse. Évidement je sais que toutes les compagnies aérienne ont par moment quelques avions annulés, ou en retard, et ce qui m’intéresse c'est plutôt la sécurité.
Est-ce que que certains d'entre vous ont des arguments qui permettent de choisir une compagnie ou une autre ?
Merci d'avance.
Merci d'avance.

J’aimerai vous poser une question
En faite je voyage de Casablanca à Los Angeles avce 2 escale l’une a Madrid et l’une à dallas, sauf que moi j’ai que le visa usa je n’ai pas le visa shengen et je pars de Casablanca jusqu’à Madrid avec iberia mais de Madrid à dallas avce iberia mais opère avec américain airline donc dois je avoir le visa shengen ou je pourrais passer à la douane juste avce le visa usa
Bonjour,
je m'excuse si une question similaire a déjà été posée, je n'ai pas réussi à la trouver. Je pars de Casablanca (CMN) à Séoul (ICN) avec une correspondance de 1h25min à Paris (CDG), voici les vols qui sont en un seul billet Air France : Arrivée à CDG aérogare 2E à 11:45 et départ vers Séoul à 13h:10 depuis CDG aérogare 2E.
Est-ce c'est faisable de faire la correspondance en moins de 1h25 sachant que l'arrivée et le départ sont au même aérogare ? Le last Check In est à 12h10 (une heure avant le vol), est-ce qu'ils peuvent faire exception quand on doit faire une correspondance avec la même compagnie et le même billet ? Est-ce que je vais re-passer par le contrôle de sécurité, vérification du passeport ou autres... à CDG ? Normalement je n'ai pas besoin de récupérer les bagages ?

So, even before starting my explanation, I’d like to introduce myself since this is my first post on the forum :) I’m Jérôme, a huge Asia enthusiast, and I’m currently in the process of moving to Japan with my family in 2028.
Now, onto the topic :)
We’re a family of four traveling together to Seoul, with two separate bookings.
Our original itinerary was: Madrid → Doha → Seoul (March 23–24)
The issue is that our entire outbound flight was canceled, and the airline simply rescheduled the Madrid → Doha leg. Now we’re left with an incomplete journey, with no solution to reach our final destination (Seoul).
Since then:
- Can’t modify flights online (technical error every time) - Can’t get help via chat or WhatsApp - Phone support is unreachable, and the usual French number isn’t working right now
We don’t want a refund. We just want to be rerouted to Seoul, as our original ticket promised.
We’re flexible:
- On dates (we can leave on March 21 or 22 instead of the 23rd) - On the itinerary (different layovers if needed)
Have any of you dealt with this before? Do you know how to unlock a booking in this case or get a rerouting? We’re considering going straight to the airport to resolve it at the Qatar Airways counter....
Thanks so much for your help! 😊

We don’t want a refund. We just want to be rerouted to Seoul, as our original ticket promised.
We’re flexible:
- On dates (we can leave on March 21 or 22 instead of the 23rd) - On the itinerary (different layovers if needed)
Have any of you dealt with this before? Do you know how to unlock a booking in this case or get a rerouting? We’re considering going straight to the airport to resolve it at the Qatar Airways counter....
Thanks so much for your help! 😊
Hi there,
I know there are some "airline experts" on this forum 😛
I’ve started doing a bit of research and saw that around ten airlines offer this route with a layover. Price will obviously be a factor, but I’d love to hear your thoughts on the airlines that operate this connection.
Thanks in advance to anyone who joins the discussion!
Hi there,
We're planning a trip to the Philippines but would love to spend 10 to 15 days in Vietnam to see what we missed due to bad weather a few years ago. Every simulation I've tried has turned out to be way too expensive... I know that for a departure around February 2026, it might be a bit early, but if anyone has a great tip.....? Thanks in advance
Hi there,
For my upcoming trip to Thailand, I’ve narrowed it down to Emirates and Air India and would love to hear recent feedback from members who’ve flown with them.
I’ve noticed on several sites that reviews for both airlines are pretty negative. I’m not surprised about Air India, but I read they’ve been acquired.
I flew Emirates twice in 2018 and was surprised by the drop in recent reviews. It almost makes me think of Etihad, which I initially liked but then declined (I’m not sure what their situation is like now).

Bonjour à tous, je souhaiterais aller à dubai en février prochain( bien sûr si la situation le permet ) et on me propose un Paris dubai avec escale à Frankfurt via la compagnie Lufthansa sauf que cette escale est de seulement 1h. Est ce assez pour ne pas rater son prochain vol? Est ce que ça vaut le coup de mettre 400 euros en plus par personne pour un vol direct Emirates? Merci
Bonjour
Quelque chose m'échappe... J'avais un départ prévu pour Kuala Lumpur le 2 avril.... Quelqu'un peut-il m'expliquer pourquoi Qatar maintient 2 vols quotidiens sur 3 entre Paris et Doha alors que, si j'ai bien compris, d'une part on ne peut officiellement plus quitter l'Europe, d'autre part le Qatar et la Malaisie ont totalement fermé leurs frontières aux étrangers?
Merci
Loic

Singapour Airlines annule tous ses vols a destination de l'Europe ou de puis l'Europe jusqu'en mai. Des amis ont leur vol ok de Manille a Singapour mais leur vol Singapour a Paris annule ! Tres pratique !
Bonsoir à tous,
Après quelques vaines tentatives de recherches et demande auprès d'agence de voyage, je voudrais effectuer un vol Nice Lima via madrid et Dallas sachant que je n'aurai qu'une heure vingt d 'escale à Dallas avec la compagnie American Airlines ou Nice Paris puis paris Atlanta avec 3h55 escale à Atlanta puis Lima avec Delta Airline....
Ma question est simple, doit on repasser par la douane américaine et réenregistrer ses bagages
ou les bagages suivent normalement et seul le passager doit passer la douane avec le fameux esta ?
Dans l'attente de réponse concrète des amis voyageurs. Merci
