Before you book
- 2 separate tickets. Each stands on its own: if one is delayed, changed or cancelled, the airline on the other ticket doesn’t have to rebook or help you. Bags and check-in are handled ticket by ticket.
- Separate tickets, self-transfer: if the economy flights are delayed or cancelled, the business ticket is not protected or rebooked for you.
- Long outbound wait of about 15h in Beijing; may include an overnight, so consider a hotel or transit stay.
- Bags are not carried through: collect and re-check them in Beijing; allowances differ per ticket.
- China: self-transfer means clearing Chinese immigration: check current visa-free/transit rules for Australians.
- Some flights are sold under a different airline name than the one flying them; booking and check-in may reference the ticketing airline.
- 2027 times are from standing schedules and may change: confirm times at booking and recheck connections.
- Schengen area: check EES/ETIAS entry requirements for Australian passport holders at time of travel.
- Check entry and transit rules for every stop for your passport.

These are separate tickets. If your first flight is late, the airline on the next ticket generally doesn't have to rebook you.
4 more checks are summarised above but not explained here. The full Hack Shield checklist, with bags, entry rules, waits and what to do if your first flight is late, is part of Pro.
Hack Shield is general information based on the flight times we hold. It is not a guarantee, travel advice or insurance, and Kaviqa does not check visa or entry rules for you.
