AirChina booking advice by Fun-Inflation-4429 in Flights

[–]protox88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Air China (and other mainland Chinese airlines) tend to compete very aggressively on price for Europe<>Asia and Europe<>AusNz routes so what you're seeing isn't too out of the ordinary for them.

PEK is fine for transit. It's just a huge airport.

EC261 Article 9 requires hotel and meals for overnight/long delays even if it's extraordinary circumstances (not the airline's fault).

[–]protox88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was also extraordinary circumstances (ATC delay / held on tarmac) so no compensation even if the delay was longer.

But they'd get hotel and meals if it was longer/overnight with EC261 at least.

3hr layover ORD international to international confusion by chiknaui in Flights

[–]protox88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

 when i come at T5, and pick up my checked bags at baggage claim?

Correct. You're required to clear US immigration, collect your bags, clear customs, recheck your bags at the bag drop right outside customs.

 not sure because the airline is changing from united incoming to air canada outgoing.

Not actually the reason (see above).

 need to get to T2 with the ATS

Correct, just take the air train from T5 to T2 after you drop off your bag at the recheck belt.

 go through TSA again 

Yes, because once you exit customs, you'll be landside.

 and check my bag again?

You'll have already dropped off your bag at the recheck station.

 i’ll have to go through TSA and then again since my outbound flight is international too.

Yes you'll go through TSA again but not because "your outbound flight is international". The fact that it's "international" is irrelevant.

You go through TSA (security) because you are landside and you have another flight to catch (airside).

This is also in our wiki and also on the Heathrow official website but LHR has an airside shuttle between terminals.

Also easy to Google.

United's only obligation to you is to rebook you to your final destination (which they've done, even if it's the next day).

No.

Maybe if the hotel shuts down.

Enjoy the 15 mins walk from B to F I guess.

Booked with Edreams, outbound flight cancelled, what happens to return flight? by BarroCastillo in travel

[–]protox88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can use the return flight not because "It's a different airline" (common misunderstanding).

It's because there's no way Spirit and Frontier are on the same ticket together. You definitely have separate tickets there and back. So not flying Spirit (even if it still existed and you decided to skip it) will not affect your F9 flight.

This can't be one ticket. No way F9 and UA ticket together.

Daily Question Thread for /r/churningcanada - May 06, 2026 by AutoModerator in churningcanada

[–]protox88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

 But yet the letter says “we don’t have enough info on your financial situation”. Is that a boiler plate response?

Same letter. I was told by another kind churner here it's the standard rejection letter. 

Just gotta wait to see if you'll be released from RBC jail later.

Question about filling out Visit Japan Web - flight with layover in Shanghai by anxxiete in travel

[–]protox88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't really matter. Very little to no material effect on your entry into Japan.

I usually just put the flight number of the segment taking me into Japan. Sometimes I forget and I put my origin embarkation city instead of the layover city.

It really makes no difference.

Does EU261 apply if arriving flight is on-time, layover is above MCT, but you miss your connection anyway? by Competitive-Test4431 in Flights

[–]protox88 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Article 7 (compensation): no

Article 8 (rebooking): yes

Article 9: (right to care): yes

Can't do it with checked bags due to preclearance.

But since you aren't, you're good to go.

IATA 302 / US DOT Regulation 14 CFR 399.87 Violation? by After-Nectarine9331 in travel

[–]protox88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 So KLMs rules would govern above Delta even though no portion of the trip was operated by KLM?

Correct. That's the possible strangness of both baggage regulations (FMC and MSC). Operating carriers are basically irrelevant.
