FAQ
Useful questions before booking
Are these schedules live?
No. This is an independent planning guide. Routes, aircraft and days of operation change seasonally, so always confirm current service before booking.
What is the self-transfer risk?
Separate tickets can require immigration, visa eligibility, arrival forms, baggage collection and recheck-in. If the first flight is late, the second airline may not protect the connection.
Where can I check airport codes?
Use Flights Airports for airport codes and map browsing, especially where a city or country has multiple practical airports.
