I am flying from London to India with a layover of 1 hour 30 minutes at Muscat Airport. My flight from London to Muscat, as well as the connecting flight from Muscat to Bangalore, is Oman Air.  Is 1:30 hours enough for me to catch my connecting flight from Muscat to Bangalore?  Do I need to re-check in my luggage?  Am I taking a risk or is this time is enough to catch my connection flight?

I am travelling from Hyderabad (India) to Paris (France) via Muscat and the transit time there is only 2 hours.    Is this sufficient to make the connection?

I am on a gap year and have completed exactly 90 days in the Schengen area. I then flew to Morocco and have been here for 2 months. In 3 days I fly to London for another 2 months, and then will fly to the Czech Republic for a period of exactly 90 days. So, 90 days in, 4 months out, 90 days in.  The problem may be that the flight from Morocco to London has a connection in Madrid. It goes Morocco to Madrid Terminal 4s, then terminal 4 to Gatwick. I believe there is a shuttle bus between terminals 4s and 4.  I'm flying in three days time. (Don't know why I just thought of this now.) From what I've just read here and in other places I think I might be in trouble as I may not be able to enter Schengen as I will fall foul of the 90 days in 180 days rule.  From early comments it looks like my only option is to bin the (non-refundable) indirect tickets and buy direct flights (ouch!). I'm on a backpacker budget and any suggestions would be gratefully received.  Update: The flights are: IB8191 operated by Air Nostrum and  IB3718 operated by Iberia Express, both flights on a single Iberia ticket.    I tried calling Iberia but they couldn't put me through to anyone who spoke English. I called MAD airport, and was given a number to ring (not sure exactly who) and explained the issue (Countries, terminals etc). They said I would go through immigration but it would be fine. I again said that I had used all my Schengen days but they said it didn't matter.   Assuming that I rely on this information and continue with my original arrangements I'll post back here to say how it went, which gaol I landed up in etc.

I'm a Sri Lankan, traveling to China under a student visa. I'm traveling from Colombo to Bangkok Suvarnabhumi airport through Sri Lankan airlines and from there, traveling to PVG Shanghai Pu Dong airport with JuneYao Airlines.   My transit time is 6 hours and 5 minutes, and my ticket says the flight "connect in airport, Long wait".  So  1) should I get a transit visa?     2) Should I collect my luggage at the Suvarnabhumi airport and check-in again?  Any advice is much appriciated

I am flying from the U.K. to Melbourne, Australia. I then have to catch a flight to Sydney (a separate booking) but I'm worried about how long I need in between landing and the Sydney flight. I land at 18:55 and my Sydney flight is 20:45. I only have hand luggage.  Is this enough time?

I'm flying from Moscow to Antalia. There is a 1.25 hour layover in Sabiha airport. in general, would it be sufficient in case of picking up luggage? The air company is the same and I will travel with two small children - if it matters.  It seems that if company is the same then they move my luggage by themselves. Am I right?

British Airways (BA) just changed our flight times, leaving us only 1h15mins for our layover in Heathrow. We arrive from Brussels in terminal 5 in Heathrow at 7:55 and our next flight leaves for Miami in Heathrow terminal 3 at 9:10.  This seems awfully short.   Does anyone know whether this is doable?   The flights are in November, so I'm still hoping that the flights will change back to the original flight times, which would give us an additional hour for the layover, but in case this does not happen, what are the chances that we will make the connecting flight in 1h15mins?

I have a seven hour layover at Brussels airport, and I'd like to know whether there is enough time to leave the airport and go into the Brussels city center for a beer or a meal?  If so, what transportation is available, how does it work, how long does it take, and how much does it cost?  Are there convenient luggage lockers in the airport so that I can avoid taking my carry-on luggage into the city?  This layover is from 8:30 in the morning to 15:30 in the afternoon on a Monday, and the flight is arriving from the United States.  The outgoing flight is within Western Europe.

I have been researching this for some time now, but can't seem to find a definite answer to my worries.   In May '15 I booked a ticket through a travel agent for the trip: Rio de Janeiro-->Madrid, Madrid-->Copenhagen (in February '16). Both flights are with IBERIA/IBERIA EXPRESS. In September '15 I got an email from IBERIA that the departure of my connecting flight from Madrid to Copenhagen had been changed to the next day, which gives me a layover time of about 25 hours in Madrid.   What are my rights? Can I make them pay a hotel, can I get a refund, can I make them pay another connecting flight?

Long story short, I had to fly from A (in Spain) to C (in the UK) and I booked two separate flights with the same budget airline, so the actual route was A (Spain) -> B (UK) -> C (UK).  The first flight was delayed by 90 minutes, which means that I was unable to catch the second one (the layover time was around an hour and a half) and had to buy another ticket for the following day (with another airline).  I googled a lot and found mixed responses. Is there any chance I can get a refund for my second flight? I will obviously ask them but I'm unsure what my best course of action is.

I've travelled a lot.  Living in New Zealand or the UK means anywhere is likely a flight, but I've always flown economy.  Twice between LA and Auckland I managed to get the exit row after talking nicely to the check-in girl, but apart from that, nothing.  I've spoken to ticket agents, tried 'check in chicken' (where you wait until the last minute before checking in, hoping there's an overbooking of economy) but have never managed to get an upgrade, while others I know seemingly get them quite often.  What strategy have you used or do you suggest to achieve this?  My next flight is from Melbourne to Tokyo, and I plan on trying all of these ;)  (Related questions on  and  upgrades)

My dad is flying to Christchurch, New Zealand, for the first time and I booked him tickets with 1 stopover in Sydney. I booked with Qantas and I just realized that his connecting flight in SYD is operated by Emirates (codeshare). He is flying from MNL with Qantas and arrives in SYD at 6:10AM and yhe next flight to CHC is at  7:50AM with Emirates. He only has 1 hour and 40 minuted before his next flight, assuming the flight is on time.  I have never been in SYD myself so I don't know how it works. PS: I won't be applying for a transit visa for him as he won't be leaving the airport and I assume it's not a case of separate tickets but airline codeshare. My questions are:   Will Qantas allow luggage check-in straight to CHC?  If the answer is yes, can he take his boarding pass to CHC at the Transfer Desk to avoid long queues at Emirates check-in counter? If answer to #1 is NO, obviously he will have to claim baggage to check in with Emirates.  How long will it take to go through customs and Immigration? I am worried that 1 hour and 40 minutes won't be enough. Can he skip the queue and ask people to let him pass? Is there any desk at the Sydney airport I can contact to assist him? I cannot afford the Meet and Greet services offered by some companies at the airport. I am wondering if I can call the Sydney airport concierge to help my dad get to his next flight. I am willing to pay but not as much as the airssist or fasttrack charges.   Thanks.

I am an Indian citizen. I am going to study in Canada with a study-permit. I am planning to have my flight via London. I've a layover there at London for almost 9 hours. Is it wise to visit the city for 4-5 hours during the layover? Additionally do I need a Transit Visa to visit the city? or do I need a General Visitor Visa for this short-trip at London?  Edits: Arriving and departing both the flights are from London Heathrow airport.  DATV suggests that if I am heading to Canada, I don't need DATV.   Visitor in Transit Visa suggests that I can pass border control with this Visa. I may also get a Transit without Visa concession if I satisfy this three:   you arrive and depart by air have a confirmed onward flight which leaves within 24 hours have the right documents for your destination (eg a visa for that country)   And I am also heading to Canada, this also can help me to get this concession.  So, do I need a Visitor in Transit Visa to visit the city? At least website suggests that. However, I'm not sure as no one can tell it with confirmation. Hope someone helps out here.

My flight will arrive Newark at 19:49 Terminal C and my connectiong internation flight will start at 20:35 Terminal C. There is no change in terminal, I just have to change the plane. Is this enough to manage? I am worried because layover is just 45 mins.

I want to fly from A to B and have found a connection that is considerably cheaper (or otherwise more convenient) if I first fly from A to C and then from C to B on separate bookings (i.e. purchasing a ticket A to C and then another, different ticket C to B).   Can I do this? What do I need to be aware of?
