6/16/2017 9:40:12 AM Paying tips to the waiter or the hotel staff is always appreciated and never considered offensive in Iran.

Is it mandatory to have a language speaker of both inbound and outbound countries' languages onboard flights?

12/17/2015 11:58:17 AM This is certainly not the case – I know of an instance on a Ryanair flight from the UK to Poland where a passenger had to translate for the crew while another passenger was suffering from a heart attack – no crew member spoke Polish, and the ill passenger didn’t speak English… […]

12/19/2015 3:12:44 PM Yes, it’s possible. For example, Getting To Mexicali has a final sentence: While there are taxis that will take you across the border, it is only a 5 minute walk and you can catch a taxi on the other side of the border. So for most people, doing the walk makes sense, […]
