If you don’t have a middle name you would put:
Doe
John
Not all people have middle names so the airline would understand this.

All of these methods are only practical if there are really very few flights between the two countries. So if you want a list of all flight numbers between the USA and Canada, you'll have to come up with something yourself :)
On the flight search engine kiwi.com, you can enter entire countries as both origin and destination, and you can specifically look ...

In this case, it's easy since Paraguay is small and apparently has only one airport that serves international commercial flights. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_airports_in_Paraguay
The easiest way would be to look at the map in flightconnections.com and click on the airports that show up. In Paraguay that's only for and only Asuncion (ASU) is the ...

The Flightradar app allows you to search by route.
Searching for the route VVI (Bolivia Viru Viru International Airport) to ASU (Paraguay Silvio Pettirossi International Airport) brings up three flight numbers.
Outbound flights:
Z7741
Z840
Z8741
Some of these flights go to MVD airport but there is a direct flight every day.
Return flights:
Z7740
Z8403

How do you get compensation for this specific delayed flight? You don't because you're not eligible, and Easyjet is correct.
Looking at your link, the scheduled landing was 2035, with the actual landing 2354, a delay of 3 hours and 19 minutes. BUT the scheduled gate arrival was 2055, with the actual gate arrival of 2354: a delay of 2 hours and 59 minutes.

Is my assumption that I need to be at YVR at 4:05 correct?
Yes, it is always recommended to arrive 2 hours before your flight.
Am I correct in saying that the above two options are basically the only ones? (Except that I can take Canada Line earlier than 1:06 am and that I can take N10 earlier than 3:09 am.)
Yes, that is correct. In my opinion, the bus ...

No. But they'll try to aim for transfers which are possible.
The airline has some resources
If they give you a difficult transfer, e.g. your plane is late and you have 40 minutes to clear customs and security and get to your gate, they may send airline staff to intercept you and shortcut you to the front of lines and escort you to your connection.

From HP's support response, as commented by the OP:
"Vishnu: The monitor has metal spring in the stand and does not contain compressed gas cylinder." (case id 5037902130)
so it should be fine to travel on the plane.

Unfortunately, sometimes, you're just out of luck. I fly often enough and I've definitely had unpleasant experiences, including being touched, um, yeah, there. Under my underwear (if you ask me that would be sexual assault in any other scenario). But generally, I've managed to keep those experiences to a minimum by following certain rules that I've conjured ...

Skyscanner is another that provides email alerts for price changes, I also use it to find the cheapest flights for any given route as it compares all available flight combinations for you, and if you are flexible about your dates you can view the search in month mode see the price for that route every single day, sometimes you can save significant amount by ...

Flight prices often go down and up within short periods of time - I have seen specials offered for less than an hour. It could well be that the Google Flights search result is updated only once per day (or every 8 or every 4 hours), so the amount shown is simply outdated - it was available a while ago, but you 'missed it'.
Unfortunately, there are also many ...

Cloth Drawstring
As others have noted, metal will often get you flagged. For this reason, if you need to wear pants with some type of suspension, you should definitely opt for something like sweat pants with a cloth drawstring. Of course, there are many belts which have no metal parts, but if your pants have a zipper or button or any metal fasteners, then ...

Wear a kilt.
The last two times I've flown, I wore a kilt, and (even after being frisked) could have smuggled an inflated beach ball through security.

While not a frequent traveler, I have gone through airport security at least 20 times with a LOT of stuff in and attached to the outside of my bags that I would think would warrant additional screening. However, I dress very... hoboish, and have never needed a patdown.
What I mean by that is sweatpants, a single plain white undershirt, and a plain weather ...

Don't wear underwire bras
Okay, maybe not very useful for you per se, but for other people.
I tend to get frisked due to underwires that are likely somewhat larger than on average female traveller.
Personally, I don't think there is fireproof way to avoid patdowns though, so I don't have better answer for what to wear.

You want clothing that appears invisible to the millimeter wave scanner, so you appear naked i.e. no false positives. Any metal will obviously show up, but anomalies in fabric density can also appear as a suspicious object. When I travel I avoid:
Velcro fasteners,
Cargo pockets (multiple layers),
Tucking in my shirt (rumples),
Baggy clothing or ...

I used to have the same problem, needing secondary screening about 60% of the time. Now, after I enter the scanner but before I raise my arms, I pull my pants up and forwards, so at least there's contact with my hips and lower back. Usually it'll hold there long enough for the scan to complete. Since I've been doing that I've never had any secondary ...

This will not help you this week, but if you're eligible to do so, you could sign up for TSA Pre✓ (or another program like Global Entry, if you travel internationally, that includes the same benefits).
Precheck lanes at most airports have regular metal detectors, not millimeter wave scanners, so they're unaffected by how your pants fit. There is no ...

Wear trousers without metal and by preference ones that stay up without a belt. It is not a given that you will not be checked but it will make it less likely and you will feel better when you are standing there.
Take everything out your pockets, including hankies and odd pieces of paper. You can put them in your bag or a coat you take off and send through ...

Expect delay and potential schedule changes. Carefully monitor the airline's website, notifications and flight status.
This may all just work as planned but there is a chance of disruption so it's important to stay closely in the loop. A colleague of mine is currently stranded in Japan: they were supposed to return today but didn't get a new return flight ...

The linked article is over 10 years old, and contains the interpretation of a journalist. In practice, using your usual first name and last name is the usual way, and works perfectly fine.
The main point of that regulation is to not abbreviate your first or last name, change the spelling, or use nick names.
Especially in the US it is very common to use a ...

It's usually best to type exactly what it says in your passport to avoid any issues or problems at immigration.
If your name doesn't fit in the name field it is probably best to call the airline and to book over the phone.
Or as suggested by phoog:
Another option would be to ask the website user support how to handle the specific name. Something like "...

Airlines can know you are in the airport if you checked your bags in. It is illegal for the plane to leave with your bags if you're not on the flight. At security, I assume they don't really care about your booking, only that you are on a flight and have the authorisation to be in that area of the airport.
On all international flights, and on domestic ones ...

FWIW, the groups listed above are just guidelines. The last two times I flew, I had window seats in the rear of the aircraft (an A320), and I still got assigned to "C" boarding group.

Like some other users, I found this question via another one that has been closed already, today.
There are three to four planes daily from German island Helgoland to Heide/Büsum. Flightradar dot com does not list this service, but I believe it still qualifies as a scheduled service. However, there's no commercial service leaving HEI/EDXB.

I recommend going with what the airline says, 0 kg. After all, it is the official site and other sites may not be accurate or have up to date information.
When doing a flight search between those two destinations on their official website I also got an allowance of 0 kg.

You will need to enter your Russian passport information as you are entering Russia on your Russian passport with your citizenship. You are not entering on your UK passport with a visa.
Similarly, on the way back you enter your British passport details and you show that at immigration as you will be travelling on that passport to enter the country.

Arkhangelsk has two airports: Talagi, which serves Moscow & St. Petersburg, etc, and Vas'kovo, which serves towns and villages within the region. It also does helicopters. As with already existing answer, there's 20 km between these two.
Also, Reykjavik airport (the small one) mostly serves airstrips in Iceland, which makes it unconnected. Or maybe ...

The Nouvelle Calédonie domestic network, operated by Air Calédonie and Air Loyauté with a hub on the Nouméa Magenta Airport near downtown Nouméa, and serving a dozen or so smaller airfield, in Nouvelle Calédonie or nearby islands does qualify.

Like the other answers I'll share my tools that I use, the most common ones are: (with no affiliation to them) are skyscanner and greatescape I feel like they are both underappreciated for the amount of things they let you do.

Sea-Tac airport states that arranging this kind of assistance is the responsibility of the airline.

There will be help available according to iFly.com.
It says to arrange this with the airline, but as you have already contacted the airline, you can contact the airport by telephone.
I also can’t imagine another passenger not helping you as well. There are a lot of luggage trollies, so I’m sure someone can get one for you and help put your bags on it but ...

Some airlines even enable you to "check-in" multiple times online or in their mobile app, and give you the option of changing your seat each time you do.
Subsequent "check-ins" after the first one are really just updates of your check-in. If you look at your boarding pass, there's usually a "sequence number" (often marked SEQ, but sometimes just a 3-digit ...
7
No, but it is not considered as a double checkin. You have the same seat and the same sequence number. You only print your boarding pass twice.

Have done this so many times, with many, many airlines. I often check in online in case I'm delayed by traffic etc, at least I've bought myself some time - but if I get there on time, I too like to get the actual boarding pass.
Also for 18 months I worked for an airline in Australia, had to fly regularly and we'd regularly reprint, change, update and ...
2
No. I do this all the time. Reissuing boarding passes is routine; they're easy to lose, after all.

If you entered France, then it's France. If you're in transit you're not technically 'entering' the country, you're just passing through the outside-immigration-zone. So in the case you stay in Paris a few days - you'd write France. If just stopping in Charles de Gaulle Airport to change planes to fly to Egypt - put the USA.

easyJet consists of three companies: easyJet UK, easyJet Europe and easyJet Switzerland. You can tell which company is operating each flight by looking at the flight number:

I've flown reasonably comfortably (with an extender) at close to 400 lbs (and 6'-2"). Ask for an extender if she can't get the belt locked, as stated above they won't bat an eye, and there's a good chance they've got one in their apron anticipating her need. If she's pear shaped, it might be more uncomfortable for her as she may not fit in between the ...

To make this potentially useful for other people, I'm interpenetrating your question as "how can I find a seat map of a specific flight".
Most airlines offer seat amps online on their web sites. A very good resource for this is also seatguru.com.
When you enter your information, make sure you are as specific and correct as possible. It's not unusual for ...

I spoke with BA over twitter.
The code would relate to the rules and restrictions on the ticket. If
booking via our website, these would be advised at the time of
booking. Nearly all flights would have underlying fare types such as
this, and as you point out, 'A' fares would usually be restricted
First class fares. These would normally have fees ...

To add to the other answers, rear seats tend to fill up first because in a crash...
Source : How to survive a plane crash (Telegraph)
For whatever truth there is in those findings, it matters only that the general public have internalized this idea as a truth so people tend to select rear seats preferentially on this basis.
51
I work for an airline. Let me offer a much simpler explanation:
The seats are taken by other passengers.
Seats in the rear are popular because they are close to the lavatory. Depending on the airline, it may also be the first rows to be served in-flight meals.
One of the comments questions the pricing scheme. Airlines have plenty of data to determine ...

As fare codes, after the first letter, are airline specific and BA does not share the full list with the general public, you may never find the full explanation. You worked out much already by working out you need to stay a Saturday night.
It is a long and complicated code but those are not unlikely, even though they are rare.

Note: for more details, you should ask a similar question to Aviation SE.
Airplanes must have the centre of gravity within some limits, and for operational reasons (costs), it is much better to have it much nearer of wings.
For this reasons, airlines prefer to put people near wings, and they prefer not to have many people in the rear (with nearly empty ...

In long flights, in airplanes that has no crew rest area (bunks) such as A330, airlines reserve the seats at the rear of the airplane for the crew to take rests (shifts).
In case the flight was a long haul flight, this could be the reason why the last row is blocked.
However, it is clear that the airplane layout you posted is not a wide-bodied airplane ...

Note: After OP revealed the aircraft type in an edit to this question, this answer is no longer applicable to this specific case. Leaving it here as it certainly applies to other cases with different aircraft.
This could just be the plane’s seating layout coupled with the airline wanting to keep three identically spaced columns and at least 26 rows for ...

It may be too early to see and book all specific options. Airlines may add routes or schedules yet and buses usually don't publish schedules more than a half a year in advance (often even less).
