How to find out which way airliners bank on takeoff and landing

12/22/2016 7:06:07 PM Some airports are positioned such that they have flightpaths for both left and right banking, like Schiphol Amsterdam. Most likely the one runway will to left and the other go right, but if only one of them is active all flights might go the other direction than the usual one for that […]

One way car rental between Las Vegas and North Rim Grand Canyon

2/3/2014 11:33:36 PM I would venture a guess that dropping a car off at the North Rim will be impossible, since there’s virtually nothing there, certainly no rental agencies that I’m aware of — how would you get there without a car in the first place?

Same sex marriage in the UK for foreigners on vacation

8/31/2014 10:07:26 PM I believe you should be able to form a civil partnership or marriage in the UK as foreigners, regardless of it being same-sex or not.

Electronic devices security on airplanes

10/25/2015 3:04:51 PM There are basically four places your possessions can be during the flight: in a bag in the overhead compartment. In theory, someone could keep track of which bags belong to which passenger, and when you’re asleep or away from your seat, pull down your bag, remove an item, put it in their […]

Do airlines replace cancelled short-haul flights by buses? If not, why not?

8/27/2014 9:26:30 AM I’ve been offered train connections (rather than bus) in two intra-German cases with Lufthansa where the flight was cancelled, but a good ICE (high speed train) connection between the two cities exist. Basically airline staff gave me the choice: be re-booked for next day, or take the train and arrive a few […]

How accessible are the dirt-road parts of Iceland's ring road?

How accessible are the dirt-road parts of Iceland's ring road?

1/30/2014 8:55:52 PM 4 hours is a bit optimistic, especially taking the ring road (highway 1). If you take the Öxi shortcut (road 939, not always open in winter) along the way, maybe 4.5 hours. More like 5 if you stay on the ring road. This assumes you obey the speed limit. I’d advise you […]

8/22/2014 6:50:55 AM You only need to wait at most 90 full days to avoid falling foul of the Schengen area rules on maximum stay (Whether you need to stay 90 days out of the Schengen area or less depends on how your previous stay was divided, if it was one block of 150 days, […]

Does one need a permit for personal photography in Tel Aviv Yafo?

9/20/2015 12:36:40 PM “Filming” with a film crew, you will need several permits, plus various paper works from your end & it could end up costing you lots of money; but with photography, I don’t see anything wrong with having someone holding your lights instead of using a light-stand, as long as your light source […]

Is there currently a problem with border crossings to Ukraine?

2/21/2014 10:17:22 PM Two days ago, demonstrants have blocked border crossings to Poland. Some were totally blocked (for westerners and non-westerners likewise) and others were only blocked for trucks. That was a very temporary and isolated action. In the meantime all the crossings are clear again. Tool like Google Maps Engine (My Maps) 3/16/2014 3:43:31 […]

Visiting Bir Tawil or places like it

6/11/2016 1:34:37 PM This story about a man who visited Bir Tawil (and claimed it as the “Kingdom of North Sudan” so his 8-year-old girl could be a princess, but that’s another story) says that permission for the Egyptian authorities was required: This research led Heaton to seek permission from Egyptian authorities to travel to […]

1/26/2014 4:36:26 PM Firstly it’s important to be aware that normally only some nationalities are able to obtain visa-on-arrival visas for most countries that offer them, so before even considering using them you should confirm that you are eligible.

How could a Washington registered car travel to Zürich?

6/18/2014 1:09:25 PM The vast majority of cars in Zürich have non-EU plates… Because Switzerland isn’t in the EU! But I guess you mean non-European. In this case, it is quite common to see US models on Swiss roads: as others have pointed out, they usually belong to US citizens working at one of the […]
