What's an "un-made up road" in terms of car hire insurance?

What's an "un-made up road" in terms of car hire insurance?

9/21/2016 4:36:30 PM You’ll want to check what jurisdiction/venue the insurer would look to settle disputes in. Assuming the UK angle was correct, in the absence of a definition supplied by the insurer themselves I’d be inclined to fall back to the most relevant piece of primary legislation that does include a definition. Section 329 […]

I overstayed and was deported from Taiwan, how long am I now banned for?

9/19/2016 1:35:41 AM Looks to me like you’re in for a 3 year ban, but you better check that yourself and take a look at the paperwork you got. This law firm has been so nice to provide a translation of the "Operation Directions for Banning Entry of Aliens (禁止外國人入國作業規定)". You should really have a […]

Which place(s) are the first to cross into New Year?

1/1/2017 1:45:28 AM You can see this in the Wikipedia list or on any map with the International Date Line. The first places to see a new day are: The Line Islands, more precisely the part that belongs to Kiribati (formerly known as the Gilbert Islands). The Line Islands are in the UTC+14 timezone, and […]

Does the term "leg" have a precise meaning in air-travel?

11/29/2017 4:51:11 PM To see how the term “leg” is useful (and used), consider flight numbers. It is typically the case (at least in US domestic flights; probably everywhere) that an airline’s “flight”, i.e. what an airline identifies with a flight number, actually takes off and lands at several airports consecutively on the same day […]

Airlines refused Missed Flight Cover 10 minutes after departure

Airlines refused Missed Flight Cover 10 minutes after departure

9/15/2016 1:28:46 PM Adding to the correct answer of @Johns-305, you would have to purchase the missed flight cover during booking: For the sample booking I made it cost EUR 12.75 per person. Also in the Missed Flight Cover FAQ the need to buy such an insurance is quite obviously stated. The reply by Vueling […]

How can I find out whether I can buy medication without a prescription in a certain country?

1/2/2012 3:21:17 PM The only way to find out is to check the government website for the country you are visiting. The situation can vary from time to time as drugs get reclassified by governments. Usually there will be a government department of health medicines website, or the pharmacy regulator will have a website. Obviously […]

(But depends on people you already know, are “Friend”ed with) CouchSurfers “A volunteer-based worldwide network connecting travelers with members of local communities, […]

Bicycle travel through Italy: Recuperating a night by the road

9/15/2016 7:41:22 AM Ok. I’m taking no liability for what follows, ok? In Italy free camping is permitted, maybe. Italian law define camping as the building of a fixed tent structure for no more than 48 hours, and bivouac as the staying in a tent structure overnight. At a national level italian law allows for […]

It is recommended to bring a letter from your […]

Adding a connecting flight to an existing ticket

1/1/2012 9:44:02 PM Changing the routing of the ticket will require “re-issuing” of the ticket, and there’s no way that’s going to happen without a change fee unless it’s a refundable ticket. Given it’s an international flight, the change fee is probably at least US$250. For a group booking, changes like this will normally need […]

Using APC kiosk with new ESTA/passport

9/3/2016 5:41:55 PM At SEATAC about a month ago the policy being displayed on information screens (which I had a lot of time to read repeatedly as I queued) was that you had to go through full (normal) immigration if it was your first time entering the US with a new passport. I imagine this […]

"World class" monuments to visit in April

12/20/2011 4:24:08 PM The question is pretty broad, so here is a broad answer: Choose from Unesco’s World Heritage List Look through the list and if you find a country that has enough sites you are interested in and meet your other criteria, go there. All the sites on the list I’ve been to (and […]

Legality of cameras in vacation/holiday home?

8/30/2016 5:02:01 PM I could find a report on Portuguese tenancy law by Bremen University. While legal aspects regarding private rental may be quite different from tenancy laws, I assume it still serves as an indication here. Citing (p. 138 f., footnotes removed): Is the surveillance of certain parts (e.g. corridors) of the building lawful […]

Searching for flights to destinations matching weather / flight time conditions

12/20/2011 3:16:24 PM British Airways seems to have a similar feature called TripSeeker. You seem to get even more parameters to fiddle with! How's the view from Somerset House's terrace? Credit:stackoverflow.com‘

Declaring 'countries visited' at immigration after travelling with dual citizenship

8/23/2016 1:34:39 PM The form is about where you have been, not where your passport has been, so you should list all countries. Since you’re returning to your home country, Immigration is not really going to care where you have been. Customs, however, may be interested in this, and things will get awkward if you […]

It includes several "bivouacs" which are basically well built low lean-tos with floors and roofs but no walls. You could […]
