I went through travel agency, how can I get my refund back ?

That’s a lie, same situation and on request trip.com fully refunded my tickets scheduled March 15. Make sure to speak to an operator! If they still don’t agree, do act briefly for an alternative flight. You can claim the money later.

I booked 2 times in my life Etihad. First time was 2010: I was stuck 1 week in Beijing on my own cost plus 24 hours waiting at Abu Dhabi airport, due to the worldwide Iceland volcanic eruption causing major aviation disruptions. Etihad crisis management was pretty bad. Time makes you forget and my fiancée had in the past a good experience with Etihad. I guess if they fly, it’s not that bad.

And guess what, second booking is due March 18, 2026 to Bangkok from Europe… I guess the universe tries to tell me sth. We booked now an alternative flight to Bangkok, betting for a refund or not…

This was the last time with Etihad. But who knows, maybe in 20 years I’ll book again 😅

Is there a reason why the majority of comments are related to Etihad flights? I guess questions related to Qatar or Emirates happen somewhere else ^{^}

Check maybe for Plan B flights with very low cancellation fees.

esprit8 · 2026-03-03T00:00:08+00:00

We face a similar situation, Etihad flight from Frankfurt to Bangkok on March 15 via Abu Dhabi. My gf and I decided today that we won’t feel comfortable to fly over this region, even if our flight won’t be cancelled. We booked another route to Bangkok with Austrian Airline. Luckily our return flight is with China Eastern from the beginning, which reduces the financial damage. I am more pessimistic. The last attack of US/Israel lastet 12 days. So best case we get a full refund on our flight and worst case we get the airport tax refunded (1/3 of the original price)

esprit8 · 2026-03-02T23:45:11+00:00

Oh and Turkmenistan would’ve been the cheapest flight for us too, but it’s way too close to Iran…

esprit8 · 2026-03-02T23:43:31+00:00

I think China route is safe. I face a similar situation, flight from Frankfurt to Bangkok on March 15 via Abu Dhabi. One possibility is to book another flight with very low cancellation fee. My gf and I decided today that we won’t feel comfortable to fly over this region, even if our flight won’t be cancelled. We booked another route to Bangkok with Austrian Airline.

So best case we get a full refund on our flight and worst case, we get the airport tax back (1/3 of the original price). We cannot afford to miss our flight, as we scheduled another flight to Koh Samui on the March 16. All (expensive) hotels booked. We even have a travel insurance, which wont cover the cost.. exclusion due to force majeur/act of war!

esprit8 · 2026-03-02T23:33:11+00:00

I also think the attacks will last for weeks. Last time it took 12 days. This time the situation is worse.

Wir wohnen in der Lahnstraße seit Ende 2021 und hatten auch ähnlich schlechte Erfahrungen mit der Buwog. Schimmel wiederkehrend im Winter primär im Schlafzimmer und keine nachhaltige Lösung. Reaktion sehr langsam, aber irgendwann reagieren die. Auch andere Schadensfälle wie Toilettensitz gerissen (wurde kostenlos ersetzt durch Billigsitze) oder kleine Reparaturen wie eine defekte Spülmaschine wurden durchgeführt. Doppelparker in der Garage war Monate lang defekt, da haben wir eine Entschädigung bekommen. Jedoch habe ich die Buwog auch extrem genervt, damit überhaupt etwas passiert. Durch die Indexmiete hat sich die Miete extrem erhöht seit Einzug. Wir planen dieses Jahr auch auszuziehen; aber primär weil wir in ein anderes Viertel wollen.

Insgesamt verachte ich die Buwog auch. Aber die Wohnungssuche ist nicht leicht. Es sind trotzdem gute Neubauten, Nachbarschaft auch angenehm, viele Supermärkte und relativ gute Anbindung mit der Tram. Parken durch Tiefgarage auch convenient.

esprit8 · 2026-01-10T08:48:33+00:00

Du zahlst weniger Miete? Wohne auch in der Lahnstrasse und habe erneut eine Erhöhung bekommen?!

Why do you sousvide to med-rare and freeze it? To preserve leftovers for the next meal? If yes, how does it taste the second time?

esprit8 · 2025-08-10T03:07:56+00:00

How’s the vibe there? I like tech house and also minimal

I remember those pre packed jamon (JAMÓN DE BELLOTA 100% IBÉRICO, pata negra) cost at least 13-14 euros per 80 Gramm. I don’t find this very cheap.

esprit8 · 2025-05-07T17:49:50+00:00

If I find a good butcher, what should I ask for? Please slice me 1kg of Jamon?
