Verified travelerFlew with Singapore Airlines-Jun 2026

I bought an eSIM and didn’t work because my phone is already locked to one, perhaps another way to purchase a data plan to get cellular access in your destination.

Verified travelerFlew with ANA-Dec 2025

LAX checking in was quick and the connecting flight was the adjacent gate so it was very convenient.

MikeFlew with United Airlines-Feb 2026

I wish it was clearer about carry-on baggage rules for Basic Economy (international). The app said "No carry on bags allowed" but actually it was Narita-LAX-Narita so carry on was OK. It caused some problems deciding how to pack. Maybe have a video at the gate while people are waiting about the QR-code customs declaration and transport options? (I don't need these personally, I've lived in Japan for 20 years)

Verified travelerFlew with Singapore Airlines-Mar 2025

Stand up and move around at least every 2 hours

HughFlew with Singapore Airlines-Jun 2024

Arrive early, have a small carry-on, maybe a large bottle of water.
