I'm having a frustrating time dealing with a TK award ticket rescheduling and was wondering if anyone has faced this recently. The ticket is for tomorrow (April 28), and the TK website gives the "Change flight" option (although the app doesn't). However, when I select a new date, it output...

At the moment, they are both about half full in business and wide open in economy with not even 1/3 capacity booked.

Does anyone know what loads are like on TK199 (Tokyo/HND-IST) and TK198 (IST-Tokyo/HND)? I may be flying in August and am trying to figure out whether it'll be crowded or not.
Jump to postHello all, I thought it might be useful to start a new thread to discuss how different airlines are treating passengers due to flights cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. I had tickets booked with Swiss for the end of April, but unfortunately it seems they're being especially unfriendly with ...
Jump to postYes, it looks promising for my local airport indeed. I think Egyptair to Cairo already operates as a seasonal charter, but not sure. In terms of the others, Air India just pulled out, so may be a while before they dip their finger again. With LH and LX already in KIX for LH Group, I wonder if there ...
Jump to postI'm not sure about the current day practice: however, in the past India Civil Aviation and/or Airport Authorities wouldn't allow any 380 operations from the major Indian Airports like BOM or DEL.

Jump to postIt makes me wonder what will happen with their 343s. Will they revert back to AF, or will they be parked altogether? Well, they are all between 19 and 21 years of age. That seems a little young to retire, but not worth converting back. AF still operates plenty of (worse) angled flat seats in their ...

Jump to postThe broken bridge is going to be the major -quite literal- roadblock going ahead.

There's already a one stop option via ME3. If the Indian airlines got their act together it might be a good way to connect the Eastern part of South America to East Asia.

Jump to postAir India should aim higher: why stop at BOM-JFK or BOM-FRA when you have entire countries without direct flights from India.
