Fare structure & what's included

Hot meals, beverages, and seat selection on the day of travel are typically included on long-haul flights, while short-haul services may sell food on board.

Hubs & main bases

The airline's primary operational bases include the airports listed below. Bookings that originate from a hub almost always have more frequency, more competitive pricing, and better recovery options if a flight is cancelled. If you are connecting through a hub, allow at least the airline's published minimum connection time plus 30 minutes during winter or in known-bad-weather seasons.

Booking & check-in tips

  • Book directly on the airline website. Third-party agencies often charge service fees and complicate any future change request.
  • Check in online the moment check-in opens (most carriers open 24–48 hours before departure). Late check-ins are first to be denied boarding when a flight is oversold.
  • If your fare allows free seat selection, do it early. Mid-cabin window/aisle pairs go fast.
  • Sign up for the loyalty programme even for a single trip. Many carriers waive change fees or offer faster rebooking for members.
