This will depend on who does this and what airline. I believe in the US some airports have their people do this instead of the airlines. Here in Canada this is typically done by airline staff. It is not uncommon for airlines to have strict rules that staff are not allowed to accept tips of any kind.

If it was me I would make the hotel booking for two days. But select an option where you change the booking up to a few days before arrival. If it turns out to be different you can change the booking. Most hotels have an option where you can cancel up to 24 hour before arrival. The deeply discounted booking rates don't have that flexibility.

That is a weird response. NCL is acting like a travel agent. Normal practice with most airlines is around 24 hours before departure control over the reservation transfers from the agency to airport control where the reservation is under local control of the airline airport staff not the agent. AA should have been able to make changes at that point. I don't fly regularly with AA so cant guess at an explanation there. However, it is no secret the airlines are not investing in training and many times these types of things come down to the airline staff have not been trained in how to do it. I would also go after NCL for the cost. They charged you to change the reservation. They messed up. I would ask for the $150 back and the cost of buying the second ticket.

There are differences from one cruise line to the next on how they book airline tickets. I would assume the "normal" flight would be leaving the US on Monday and arriving into London Tuesday morning. So a two day deviation would mean departing Saturday to arrive Sunday morning. However it is hard to say for certain. 40 days out you should have the info available.

Air Canada and Alaska have non-stops between PDX and Vancouver.

Uber is also an option. Don't expect to save a lot of money with it though.

I have stayed at Atrium a few times. There is nothing wrong with the hotel. The immediate neighborhood around the hotel is fine. It just does not have much in the way of tourist attractions. If you walk out of the hotel there is a Tim Hortons, Starbucks and Dairy Queen next door. It is safe. It has a very suburban residential feeling to it. The other direction is a park that for two weeks a year houses the main agriculture show in the province. The rest of the time it houses other events. It also has an amusement park. As Martincath indicated the area along Hastings near the downtown is basically skid row. That said, your not going to walk that distance. You will be in a taxi or a shuttle. It is safe driving down Hastings but not pleasant to look at.

Yes. The OP indicated they were planning a cruise form Athens to Rome with a round trip flight into Rome. If they are doing something else, then they are doing something else.

It steam driven sort of. The clock mechanism is driven by wind up weights. The wind up weights are lifted by steam. The steam then comes from underground steam lines from the central district heating plant that is use to provide heat to many of the buildings in downtown Vancouver.

Virgin Atlantic operates from Terminal 3 at Heathrow.

I don't know how well KLM IT systems are. Some airlines are good at letting you rebook online or in their mobile app when that happens. Other airlines you have to talk to a human and that is where the problem is. They just don't have the staff levels they need to manage those situations well.

I use to live in Saskatoon. When I did I would fly international for business regularly. I would not be overly worried. Your likely going to have three flights to get there. First thing is you want everything on one ticket. That way if you miss a connection, the airline is responsible for rerouting and rebooking. I would avoid going through Europe, it just makes everything longer than it has to be. With the issue with Ukraine and Russia, the western airlines all have to fly a few extra hours around Russia making everything much longer. Flight delays out of Saskatoon are more likely as the day progresses. Far less common on the first flight of the day. Out of Saskatoon to Asia I have usually connected in Vancouver. Typical pattern is Air Canada has an aircraft that arrives late evening into Saskatoon, stays overnight. Early morning it goes to Vancouver and is timed to connect to all the late morning flights from Vancouver to Asia. Your probably then going to have to make a connection in Japan or South Korea. I would avoid China. There is also a number of flights to Asia that leave Vancouver around midnight. That would be another option. WestJet is starting up Calgary - Tokyo (Narita) flight. I don't know what the timing looks like.

You don't want to do that. If the Athens-Rome flight is on a separate ticket then your responsible if something if something is late. As LTH28 said you want to go Ohio.-Athens and Rome-Ohio. The other thing I would do is wait about a month or so. Most airlines release flights for booking around 300-356 day out. You will have more choice and options. Also you should look at some of the non-US airlines. Air Canada for just over $1,000 return, however they have only published fares up to around April 10th. You would need to come back in a week for your dates.

With legacy airlines like TAP and KLM you don't want to go into it with the attitude that a refund is even an option your willing to consider. You want to go in with the attitude you paid to fly from Rome to Lisbon. If TAP canceled the flight, that is TAPs problem to solve to your satisfaction. They still need to get you from A to B even if that means they need to buy a ticket on another airline for you. You may find it helpful to suggest alternative flights that you are willing to accept. The TAP call center and people at the airport should be able to do rebooking like this at no cost. Even your TA should be able to do it if you booked through a TA.

Well Canadian airports all start with "Y". Airports that start with "Y" are always in Canada (with the exception of one US airport that is violating the rule for some reason). That only leaves two letter to play with. We have no shortage of similar airport codes.

At the end of the day what matters is what British Airways has in their computer system. They are the ones operating the flight. American Airlines is simply reselling it. Your TA should be able to sort it out.

If it is all on one ticket that means there is a single airline that issued the ticket. The ticket can include flights operated by other airlines, that is not a problem. When it is all on one ticket the airline the issued the ticket is responsible for getting you to your end destination. AC, Lufthansa Group and United operate as a joint venture between North America and Europe. Not a big deal if you mix and match them. If it is on one ticket it is checked through. If you buy two separate tickets than it is not.

So out of those those airports which is your preference? Ottawa, Montreal or Toronto. I would keep everything on one ticket. When you do that if there is a delay the airline is responsible for rebooking at their cost. If your in Ottawa the first leg is going to be Air Canada, WestJet or the Air France bus to Montreal. In the summer Air France is also going direct. I would avoid connecting through the US. You can do it but it is a pain if you have checked baggage.

BA has a couple of different models of 777. They have the 777-200 and 777-300. They also have different layouts. This website will have some recommendations and this is the likely configuration on that route if it is a 200: https://www.seatguru.com/airlines/British_Airways/British_Airways_Boeing_777-200B_2.php I rarely fly BA these days so I can't tell you where the electronic boxes are. If they put the effort in last time they refurbished the aircraft that be under the floor. I would not be overly worried about it. It is always good to follow the rules however if you get on there and it does not fit under the seat they will likely find some space in the overhead bins somewhere for it. These widebody aircraft have a lot more bin space than your use to on the small aircraft and with free baggage more people are checking bags.

Lisbon airport has some draw backs but, a 3 hour connection there is a much better option than 1 in Heathrow. What is the next stop for the cruise after Marseille. You plan be would be to join the rest of the cruise there. The train from Paris is also a nice option. Both Air Canada and Air France should have flights from Toronto.

That is a good jump. If the reservation has free cancelation you may want to check again when you get closer. Vancouver downtown prices are high there is always a chance for some discounting to happen as it gets closer. I believe some (or perhaps most) of the Quick Silver shuttles also stop at the River Rock Casino/Hotel in Richmond on the way. Richmond would usually be a bit closer but you would pay more for a taxi/uber. This is a skytrain station so the subway is also an option.

To get from the airport your driving through Seattle. Your subject to rush-hour traffic and all of that. I would try to get a hotel in Vancouver. Your not going to see a dramatic difference in cost between hotels in Seattle and Vancouver. The downtown hotels within a block or two to Canada Place (the port) are expensive. As you move out from their the price does go down a bit. If your comparing hotels are you doing it in the same currency?

What airlines are you flying? If it is Southwest you may want to also look at the option of flying into Bellingham. Bellingham is located halfway between Seattle and Vancouver and Quicksilver has a few stops there. Draw back is few flight. Advantage is few flights, and people in lineups.

No shortage of options. Every major European international airline is going to fly between Israel and the US. Within North America this is Air Canada and a number of US airlines. Dubai will add extra time, in your flying east to turn around and fly west.

Unless there is a cost saving I would do two separate one. When you buy a ticket, your paying the airline that issued the ticket and are playing by that airlines rules on changes etc. That first airline is then reselling all the other flights to you. For example if you first flight on the ticket was Air Canada,, you have Air Canada as the airline your dealing with for changes to any subsequent flights including the return one.
