• Denied boarding on Lufthansa flight in Changi, airline refuses to refund

  So, something very strange happened to me for the first time. I was denied boarding on a Lufthansa flight. The staff at the airport kept changing their excuse, and every time they came up with something, I had to prove it was wrong. (for example they said the ticket which I got online (trip.com) was paid in cash, then they said I need a transit visa which I did not need...) in the end they said they can't let me...

• Why are you booking flights with 3rd party websites?

  Skyscanner at times lead to websites such as trip.com which provides a ticket confirmation after 48 hours.

You would still need their login to details which poses it's own risks. Source: 5 months ago

  Lijiang: I had initially booked a fast train between Guilin and Lijiang, it would have taken 11 hours to get there. Then I found a flight on trip.com for the same price: cancelled the train, got refunded and booked the flight everything by trip.com without any problem. Lijiang old town is super nice, even if it has been "fixed" and there are many things to do around it (Tiger Leaping Gorge, Yulong Snow Mountain,... Source: 6 months ago

• Europe Is Investing Heavily in Trains

  Agree with all of that. Though with flights, you can also optimize a lot if you have enough lead time: I recommend https://skyscanner.com/ Trains are nice if you need to transport anything of volume, if you stay longer than a day or two so you can amortize the travel time, if you have lots of run-up time, and probably cheaper if you travel a lot. They're definitely competitive, it's just not a slamdunk, and planes... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
