Some flights are operated by several airlines jointly. If the operating airline is not the same as the official offering airline, then the operating airline is included in parentheses after the flight number. |
Waiting list |
If a flight is already fully booked, but the possibility exists that a seat may become vacant as a result of the move-up procedure, then some airlines offer a waiting list. If you book a flight on the waiting list, you can view the current booking status when you call the travel plan for processing in the R/3 System at a later date.If the status of the flight is still on waiting list, the flight is not yet confirmed. If the status of the flight is on reserved and confirmed the booking no longer has waiting list status and has been definitely accepted by the provider. |
Flight duration |
The duration of the flight including all non-flying times. The time in parentheses underneath shows the flight duration without time spent on the ground for change-planes connections. The time on the ground for stopover flights is, however, not excluded in this calculation of flight duration. |
Stops |
