You can try all the tricks off popping and cutting but when you paint the lining paper again, they will probably reappear unfortunately. This is very common if you use a light weight lining paper of 1000gm or less. Always best to pay a little extra and get a 1400gm paper for that extra smooth finish. You can buy it from any reputable decorating store but not the likes of B&Q etc. Mix the paste thoroughly and ensure you paste the edges first, then the centre and then the edges again. Look at it from an angle to see if you have missed and areas and recover if necessarry. Better to put too much on than not enough. You should wait 4/5 minutes for the paste to suck into the paper before trying to hang it. If you hang it too early, then the paste sticks to the wall first rather than the paper . . . one cause for bubbles. Buy yourself a window squeegy to flatten it to the walls and work from top slowly downwards moving any excess paste to the edges and out. Finally run firmly down the edges and push any excess bubbles out. Instead of a squeegy you can use a plasterer's trowel . . . the perfect wall paper hanging tool . . . sharpen an edge/corner and you can do all the tricky bits like cutting edges etc too. You may see some small bubbles appear but these will soon go as the paper dries and shrinks. Good luck . . . it's easier than you think if you get the right paper and the right tools.

The way I have removed air bubbles from wallpaper is as follows:
Put several pin pricks into the bubble and gently, with a brush or soft cloth, smooth out the bubble. If the paper is already dry, try getting a hypodermic syringe filled with wallpaper paste, squeeze into the bubble and smooth out as above.
Good luck (it works for me)

Air bubbles should settle once the wall paper has dried thoroughly. If there are still air bubbles after dry, they are usuall big ones as small ones are most likely to be creases. You can't really do much with large airbubbles apart from cosmetically heal them:- Using a really sharp scalpel, slit the air bubble down the middle to let all the air escape, apply some more paste to the surfaces underneath, and overlap the wall paper (it will naturally overlap as the paper soaks the adhesive and expands).

Sometimes you can stick the bubbles with a pin and let the air out. Then press it down. Hope that helps but if that doesn't work you might have to start over.

make sure the paste is left to soak into the paper for at least 10 mins prior to hanging it on the wall then start from the centre and with a clothe or brush sweep from the centre out towards the edges till all air is expelled then seal the edges firmly

Inject a tiny bit of superglue into the bubble and press it down-

Razor blade cut-then force the air out with fingers-cut on a line if possible-and as tiny as possible.
