Re: suggest airline for first time international travel........
the only suggestion that has come so far is that of cathy pecific , i've heard that the airline crew guide properly during transit ( which is either at bangkok or hongkong) hours + from there flights come non-stop to SFO, any ideas ??
Re: suggest airline for first time international travel........
cool i need personal experience
Re: suggest airline for first time international travel........
i flown from Khi-Dxb-Lon-SF on emirates and ba. rather tiring but easy no probs
Re: suggest airline for first time international travel........
Hassle free: KHI-SIN-LAX (Singapore Airlines) Best service, best airport, new planes.
I have done: SIN-LHE-SIN (Best service to Pakistan from Far East)
I have done: SIN-LAX-SIN (great experience)
Re: suggest airline for first time international travel........
i dont have any experience from San Fransisco but I traveled from Vancouver, BC to Karachi via Hong Kong with Cathay Pacific and I had the best experience of my life. Excellent service and super crew. I am sure you can get Cathay from SF to HK. HK airport itself is like a city and I didnt get bored there either
Re: suggest airline for first time international travel........
hey Zain did u remember the crew at Cathay Pacific guiding u or other passengers during the transit ? i mean guiding properly about the gates / exits at airport ..........
thanks all for the input
Re: suggest airline for first time international travel........
dude no one guides you around like a baby but there are signs everywhere or u can just ask a memebr of staff n they will tell u. no ones gonna hold your hand and guide you around
Re: suggest airline for first time international travel........
If you make prior arrangements, at the time of booking, and tell them that the passenger requires assistance during travel and also during the transit phase, a solution can be worked out.
almost every airline offers these services for minors and children traveling alone. I am sure this criteria could be applied to the elderly as well. Just make sure you ask for it while making reservations. Further info can be had from the website of the concerned airline (s)
