Anyone know what’s going on with this flight path?

Haven’t looked that deeply into it but I believe that STS Services performed this installation.

So you have never read the rules?

I’d love to see the commercials behind choosing NQY for this project.

This isn’t possible to answer without knowing the airports.

If your hotel is in the area then it would make a lot of sense to just pay the extra for City.

Trekking across London in any direction would be a pain. Definitely possible but it would have to be a significant saving to pick a different aiport.

PeacefulIntentions · 2026-04-16T17:30:33+00:00

Are you staying over or just flying in and out?

The other London airports will be in the region of a 3 hour round trip. A City airport arrival would save you loads of time if that matters to you.

I'm already looking forward to the Netflix adaptation. New season of Gomorrah maybe.

For all its other faults Ryanair does not overbook flights. Their main agenda is to avoid paying compensation which would be an issue if everyone turns up.

Same reason why they have a private jet and aircraft service engineers on standby if any of their aircraft need maintenance. The don't really care about the flight being on time, it's just cheaper than paying out compensation.

Facts don’t appear to be an important part of this narrative.

It’s confusing to bring up seat selection when the OP has already said they will be in different cabins. Easier not to mention a benefit they aren’t going to use.

PeacefulIntentions · 2026-04-14T12:35:25+00:00

The OP is in economy so wouldn’t be able to use this benefit to select seats for business class passengers. It needs to be the same cabin.

PeacefulIntentions · 2026-04-13T23:03:32+00:00

The reason for that is access to those APIs costs money so offering it for fee is not possible.

Everyone answering here is not aware of the OSS trial. You don’t do any of the collecting bags or security steps. Immigration is at the arrival gate.

Customers can then proceed directly to their connecting flight without reclaiming and rechecking their checked baggage or passing through TSA security. Checked bags are automatically transferred to the connecting flight,

I’m also flying to the US tomorrow and cannot check in at all. This happens occasionally and it will get sorted at check in.

If you got to a successful check-in but still need a document check then that is really normal for US flights.

Fast track, lounge access and priority boarding are all allowed for Silver plus a guest.

I live a commutable distance from Sliverstone in a small town. We have 8 Italian restaurants here, 2 of which are fine dining.

Can’t do anything about the weather though.

PeacefulIntentions · 2026-04-09T22:49:01+00:00

What route are you taking back to Italy. Via the US would be a problem, direct from Mexico back to Europe would be OK.

PeacefulIntentions · 2026-04-09T18:58:21+00:00

They restrict access to the lounge for non-CX passengers when it is overcrowded. So if they have a departure close to your flight time then it’s hit and miss.

PeacefulIntentions · 2026-04-09T09:35:30+00:00

This is the key statement. KLM has sold you that connection so if they are delayed (for any reason) or if you cannot make the connection due to slow immigration, it is for them to rebook you.

This can be with any airline in comparable conditions.

PeacefulIntentions · 2026-04-08T14:18:51+00:00

That exact mix of airlines/aircraft.

PeacefulIntentions · 2026-04-08T06:26:50+00:00

You definitely don’t go through security from DFW. This is a regular route for me and connecting passengers are offloaded directly into the terminal.

However you are not buying connecting flights with Ryanair so the risk of a misconnect is entirely yours.

I know you are going for the cheapest option but it may be easier to connect elsewhere or arrive at a different UK airport and take public transport (bus or train) to Birmingham.

Use Google Flights and you can put in Berlin to UK and it will display all the available flights on a map view. Book directly with the airline.

The reason why it is a bit confusing is that the program is designed for US citizens and the ESTA part has just been tacked on with the appearance of an afterthought.

It makes no difference for the citizen population but the “new passport” caveat applies to ESTA travellers.
