| Where it stops | Times and fares are indicative estimates rather than live availability, so confirm every leg with the operator before you rely on it. | Entry rules change without notice and depend on residence, purpose and transit — confirm with the embassy before you buy a ticket. | It is a written guide, not a booking engine or a timetable — nothing here is live, so check dates against the operator. | Only about a hundred cities are supported — outside them it has nothing to offer. |
