1/23/2015 12:25:41 AM While the UK is a Visa Waiver country, the VWP status has nearly zero advantage for crossing into the US by land, because of the need to park your car, get out, line up, and then fill out an I-94 form (which you also need to pay for). On a busy day, […]

Thus on most flights I keep my legs in a normal position, which already makes it very difficult for the person in front of me to recline their seat. This is enough for […]

How and where do travel agents see much lower prices?

11/7/2013 9:37:33 AM Travel agents typically use something called a “global distribution system” (there are three or four major GDS and several smaller ones) but I think some online sites also rely on them so that’s not the whole explanation for the lower price.
