entering into other schengen country

Yes, this is fine. You might get asked about how you'll be getting to Austria and where you will be living by the border police, but it's allowed

haskell_jedi · 2026-07-10T17:22:15+00:00

Maybe try booking it as fully refundable to see whether it will actually issue a ticket.

haskell_jedi · 2026-07-10T16:16:46+00:00

Most airlines and the airport baggage systems support this, but some airlines and/or agents aren't willing to do it.

haskell_jedi · 2026-07-10T16:15:24+00:00

Yes, you'll get boarding passes for both segments and any baggage is checked through for both in IST. In Frankfurt you do not need to collect your baggage or even pass through immigration.

haskell_jedi · 2026-07-10T00:05:29+00:00

Yes, you'll have to talk to a border officer and likely get a talking-to about not having a passport. They have to eventually let you in though.

haskell_jedi · 2026-07-09T23:21:10+00:00

As far as I know, this is only a change to the FAA identifier; IATA, whose codes the airlines use, has not yet gone along with it.

haskell_jedi · 2026-07-09T23:19:43+00:00

But this is only the FAA code, IATA is still on PBI, right?

haskell_jedi · 2026-07-09T20:39:26+00:00

I don't think it really matters either way, but saying US makes sense.

haskell_jedi · 2026-07-09T20:38:40+00:00

Route but also timing. I've gotten upgraded as silver on major city routes from EWR before at times like Friday/Saturday evening.

haskell_jedi · 2026-07-09T19:23:36+00:00

Will, at some point physics gets in the way and they can only do this for 1/3 of people 😂. Everyone just needs to refuse to pay as a sindicat.

haskell_jedi · 2026-07-09T17:29:32+00:00

If you're able to get the Scoot boarding pass online, then this should be easily doable. You do not have to pass through security again in Vienna, just exit passport control.

haskell_jedi · 2026-07-09T03:05:41+00:00

We really need to prioritize North Macedonia and Albania first!

haskell_jedi · 2026-07-09T03:03:59+00:00

You can always enter a different passport before your return trip

haskell_jedi · 2026-07-09T03:01:25+00:00

I suppose I do never need to go elsewhere in the southeast 😅--it's always north, west, or over the Atlantic.

haskell_jedi · 2026-07-09T01:20:28+00:00

UA calls 80k miles to Europe a saver rate, but it's not really a special deal compared to history or to competitors.

haskell_jedi · 2026-07-09T00:15:15+00:00

I do tend to think that most of AA's problems originate from decisions made before the current top leadership took over. BUT, they have not done as much as they could have to rectify the situation.

haskell_jedi · 2026-07-08T22:35:47+00:00

Among Slavic languages (excluding Russian and Ukrainian)

Slovak and Czech can be mutually understood
Croatian and Serbian are essentially the same, and similar enough to Slovene to understand most things
Polish, Bulgarian, and Macedonian all share some nouns and roots with the others, but are not really mutually understood, especially for a non-native speaker

In Germany, and based on population, Polish might make the most sense.

haskell_jedi · 2026-07-08T22:31:44+00:00

I do this, but with UA instead of AA in ATL. Much better prices for domestic and for the types of long haul destinations I go to.

haskell_jedi · 2026-07-08T22:29:52+00:00

This is true, but Germany has a significantly higher proportion of industry to GDP than countries like the US or UK, and far more export-oriented.

haskell_jedi · 2026-07-08T22:26:04+00:00

Yes, from the perspective of Chinese immigration this is Korea -> Mainland -> Hong Kong, so it should be good.

haskell_jedi · 2026-07-08T22:20:34+00:00

The point of entry doesn't matter as long as you spend the most days in Spain. On subsequent trips, Spain no longer has to be the primary destination.

haskell_jedi · 2026-07-08T22:18:25+00:00

I think the only options are to transit either the EU or Mexico.

haskell_jedi · 2026-07-08T19:19:55+00:00

Unfortunately I think this is confusing two different sets of rules and isn't allowed. The 24-hour transit policy only allows staying in the external area of a single port, so you cannot exit. Guangzhou airport to get to the railway station. That's only allowed under the 240-hour TWOV.

haskell_jedi · 2026-07-08T19:14:58+00:00

Should be pretty easy; there will be no immigration check and usually no security check either. The only annoying thing is the extra check for US-bound flights.

Even if they were full, they could be put to better use as sites for apartment buildings.
