The trip
- Business: DPS → TPE → IAH → TPE → DPS
- Economy: MEL → DPS → AVV
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.
- Airport change on the way home: the economy return flight JQ50 from Bali lands at Avalon (AVV), not Melbourne Airport (MEL). Plan your ground transport from Avalon.
- Bags: recheck and re-check-in at Bali; allowances differ per ticket (economy ticket may exclude a cabin or checked bag).
- 2027 times are from standing schedules and may change: confirm times at booking and recheck connections.
- Check entry and transit rules for Bali and other stops for your passport.
- The return flight lands at Avalon (AVV), about 75 km from Melbourne, not Melbourne (MEL). Plan transport from Avalon to where you need to be.
Hack Shield
Standard checksLong wait (6 h 50 min) · 5 h 40 min between tickets · Re-check bags · Entry rules: Indonesia
These are separate tickets. If your first flight is late, the airline on the next ticket generally doesn't have to rebook you.
5 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.
