Zero experience and desperate

First time flyer, need to get from Wisconsin to Arizona and I have to be in Tuscon by 6am on July17th, planning to be back around the 22nd but that part is negotiable. I’ve never flown before and have absolutely zero idea what I’m doing and a very limited budget

Bargain flights

Title should be: Last minute bargain flights

There used to be a way to search (or find out) for flights few days before the flight, where airlines were selling seats way cheaper just to populate the plane, if there were unsold seats. So you looked at options available for a flights in next 2-3 days and if price was ok, you took the flight wherever destination was for that flight.

Are there any ways now, to be able to see these cheap opportunities? Does this still exist? You would think, airlines would still try to fill all the unsold seats with lower prices?

What is the best way to save for long flights?

I had plenty of friends in Australia but I live and study in Italy.
I would do anything to spend time with them as much as I can, but I’m a broke student and I really can’t afford to go there, and if I do(like this August after lots of struggles) it will require me to spend so much savings that I can barely make.

And it’s all because of the flight’s fares that are pretty high for me.. when it comes to stay there I actually have people that could give me an accomodation while I stay there so any other expenses are not a concern for me.

Is there anything I can do to minimize the flight fare?? It means so much to me to go there often even if it’s not possible for me, if you can help me you would make my dream come true for real🙏🙏😞

Did anyone else know Delta sells mixed-cabin itineraries like this? I honestly had no idea.

I’m genuinely curious if I’m the only one who missed this.

Back in January, I booked my family’s return flight from Hawaii directly on Delta.com. We intentionally paid more because we wanted to fly First Class home after a long family vacation.

A few weeks before departure, I noticed our Seattle → Chicago segment was listed as Delta Comfort+, while the Hawaii → Seattle segment was First Class.

I assumed it was a mistake.
After multiple chats, phone calls, and speaking with supervisors, Delta confirmed that the ticket had always been sold as a mixed-cabin itinerary.
So I went back through Delta’s booking process today.
What surprised me is that these flights appear under the First purchase column, but the fare is simply labeled:
Delta First
Delta Comfort

To me, that doesn’t read like a warning that one of my flights isn’t actually in First Class. If anything, it almost sounds like you’re getting Delta First plus Delta Comfort benefits, not that one of the longest segments is in a completely different cabin.

I clicked through the booking process again and couldn’t find any point where Delta clearly says something like:
Mixed Cabin Itinerary
Not all segments are in First Class
One or more flights are in Comfort+

If I had seen that, I absolutely would have either selected another itinerary or paid more at the time of booking.
Instead, I didn’t realize it until weeks before departure.

Delta’s solution was to charge about $510 per passenger to upgrade the Seattle → Chicago leg, even though First Class seats are still available.
I’m not saying mixed-cabin fares shouldn’t exist.
I’m asking whether Delta’s booking process makes that clear enough to the average customer.

Looking at these screenshots, would you have understood that one of your flights was not in First Class? Or would you have assumed you were buying a First Class itinerary?

Is delayed baggage with British Airways becoming common? (Bengaluru → Heathrow T5 → Manchester)

Hey Guysssssssssssssssssss!!!

My friend and I are international students from India, and we'll be flying with British Airways on 14 September from Bengaluru to Manchester via London Heathrow Terminal 5 on a single booking.

Over the past few days, we've come across quite a few posts and comments online about passengers receiving their checked baggage 2–3 days after arriving, especially on connecting flights and also the baggage is getting delayed and lost in most of the cases. Naturally, that's made us a little anxious because we'll be carrying most of our belongings for our move to the UK.

We want your opinions and experiences on this, whether this is something that happens regularly or if it's just that people with bad experiences are more likely to post about them online.

Also, for those who have flown British Airways recently, especially on routes connecting through Heathrow, guys can u answer some of our queries please????? Such as-

  1. Is delayed baggage a common issue, or is it relatively rare?
  2. Have you experienced delayed or misplaced baggage recently?
  3. If your baggage was delayed, how long did it take to reach you?
  4. Have you noticed any improvement or worsening in baggage handling recently?
  5. Would you recommend putting an AirTag or another luggage tracker in checked baggage?
  6. Are there any practical tips to reduce the chances of baggage delays during a Heathrow connection?

We'd really appreciate hearing about your recent experiences and opinions. Thank you in advance!

Want a good deal on your flight?

I built a system that will scrape every airline oFor the past few months I've been building Erranta. It watches flight prices on all routes across most airlines, day and night, and detects when something is way below normal. Sometimes that's a sale, sometimes a price drop, sometimes the airline just makes a mistake.

Happy to answer anything about how the scraping works. Feedback on the landing page is welcome too, especially if something is unclear.

Cheap flight… until you realize the airport is 90 km from the city.

I keep finding flights for €20–30, only to realize later that the airport is far outside the city and getting to the center costs another €20–30 (or more).

By the time I factor in the transfer cost and the extra travel time, the "cheap" flight often isn't that cheap anymore.

Does anyone else end up Googling "Airport X to city center" every single time they're comparing flights?

I'm curious if this is just me, or if other people have the same problem. If enough people do, I'm thinking about building a browser extension that shows the estimated transfer cost and travel time directly on flight search websites, so you can see the real cost of your trip before booking.

Would you actually use something like that?

Business Class Brokers

I am looking for a for a business class ticket to Europe and recently used Kayak to check the price and discovered several 3rd party brokers who specialize in discounted business class fares. The two I emailed so far are BuyBusinessClass and BusinessClassExpert.

Would you recommend using services like this? Any comments on these two and please receommend other compaies that you have aexperience with.

So far they seem to be able to take about 40% of the retail price of a revenue ticket.
