I am trying to finalize my travel schedule and have decided to book my seats through British Airways via London. There are two options for me. One of the flights has approx. 6-7 hours halt at London and another one gives me 2 hours.

- Is it manageable to change flight with 2 hours of stay at Heathrow or should I go with the 6 hours of layover.
- Will we need to transfer luggage (check-out and then check-in to the next one) from one flight to the next or it will be done by the airline itself?
- I have to decide in between BA and Lufthansa. BA seems to give more baggage allowance than Lufthansa, therefore I am preferring BA.

Please share your views and suggestions on airlines and how to proceed with the online bookings.

2 hour is ok if there is no delay in the first flight. Ideal should be around 3 to 4 hours. They will transfer the luggages. I have previous experience due to delay in the first flight and stayed in Frankfort airport for one day.

Thanks for the reply. I have got another query.

I was trying to register with the airline and it requires to add first name and last name. Both of the field are mandatory. On the other hand, I do not have any last name in my passport. The last name field is blank and my full name is written in the first name field, as below:

First Name/ Given Name: AAA BBB CCC
Last Name/ Surname:

Can anyone please suggest how to proceed with online ticket booking? Airline mention that the name on tickets should match with the passport.

You can check with agents. My surname and my father name is same.

Re: Flight booking - Passport query

Need your view.

We got our Passport stamped with Single entry visa last month (i.e in May 2015) with validity until first week of Dec 2015 for my family.

I have query here
1) Is it require whole family to travel together? Or Main applicant can go first and then rest of the family can join before first week of Dec.
2) My son passport is valid until 5th Dec 2015. it has one Singly entry Canada visa which was stamped last month. will there be any issue in travelling or ticket booking because his passport would be valid for a period of less than 6 months.
3) Can I renew my son passport now? Would there be any issue in flying then with new passport.

You can land first and family can land later before expiry of visa. Regarding passport validity check with airlines. Some requires 6 months validity.
