Hi all --
I scored a great CAI-BKK roundtrip fare on QR in F for travel in a few month's time, and I was hoping you might be able to help with my journey. During my return journey, I plan to arrive in CAI at 11:20p on QR, and then fly on AZ at 3:30a to FCO (hopefully just over four hours is enough time?).
After doing some research on the connection experience in T1, I've become a bit concerned about connecting on a split ticket.
This article implies that there's limited service in the T1 transfer area, and an airline agent needs to bring one's boarding pass to the transfer area. Since I'll be on a separate AZ ticket, I doubt the staff in CAI will know where to find me!
With this in mind, I see a couple of possibilities to pull off the connection:
- Enter the transfer area and hope for the best
- Enter Egypt and check-in at the AZ counter as a local customer (I plan to get a multi-entry visa, but not sure if it's allowed to entry the country and then leave again so soon!)
- Book the VIP service mentioned in that article I linked to...it's a bit pricey, but getting a private transfer from a hardstand sounds like a unique experience!
I'd greatly appreciate any and all advice! Thank you!
