Given the name of a US pharmaceutical drug, how can I know its equivalent in other countries?

9/13/2021 5:20:29 AM Others have commented on how to find equivalent drug names, I have another very important tidbit to add that is related to the problem. Table of Contents THE LEGALITY OF YOUR DRUGS IN YOUR DESTINATION1. Find the active ingredient, in English2. Translate the name into any languageBottom line THE LEGALITY OF YOUR […]

Why are the restaurant cars in Hungarian trains closed in Germany?

12/19/2022 9:40:24 AM In August 2021, it was noticed that the state laws governing the rules for Restaurants, Cafés etc. excluded railway dining cars, since they crossed state borders. Therefore the state exceptions/conditions didn’t apply to the railway gastronomy. On the 25th of August 2021 a special federal regulation (CoronaSpWgV) was suggested to correct this […]

Leaving the Singapore airport during airline transit without using Singapore tours

1/16/2019 1:09:56 AM Since you’re on Singapore airlines, I would enquire about the stopover benefits from flying Singapore airlines. This could be anywhere between: Hotel + Attractions for 1 night for $1 per person (possible couples only though). Valid for Australia, possible others, stay for $1. Or a simple one-night fee for the full package, […]

Must airlines switch to "Last Call" before closing the gate?

8/23/2021 5:15:27 PM They are more likely to make "last call" announcements if you have checked luggage, as they need to take if off the plane if you don’t board and that usually takes even longer. Full-service airlines also usually make calls, especially if you’re a frequent flyer or premium class passenger and/or they somehow […]

Can I change planes to transit via the USA, when I am not allowed to enter it for non-essential reasons due to covid restrictions?

8/25/2021 7:26:45 AM To answer the question, as others have said, No, you generally can’t do international-to-international transit in the U.S. without clearing entry immigration inspection and, thus, entering the United States. (There have existed a handful of narrow exceptions to this over the years, such as for passengers continuing on a fifth-freedom flight to […]

Generally these are two- to four-bedroom apartments, where each bedroom has a separate lease. These are generally marketed as being for students but are owned by private companies and could in theory […]

The UK Government advises all stolen passports to be reported. Next, you need to call the embassy in Paris or Lisbon and explain the […]

Are there countries that allow tourists to obtain the EU vaccination certificate?

Are there countries that allow tourists to obtain the EU vaccination certificate?

11/4/2021 9:52:45 AM Starting a community wiki question to track down whether at least one country allows this. TL;DR Easiest to do in Switzerland Austria Seems to be possible but requires an in-person visit to a doctor/pharmacy Belgium Only possible for Belgian residents Bulgaria (no info in English, need a Bulgarian speaker) Croatia (no info […]

For UK National Rail trains, where are the rules & regulations about timetabling?

1/30/2019 10:42:51 PM The usual (not universal) rule is that train doors may close as early as 30 seconds prior to the official departure time. However, if the train is stopping somewhere to “set down” only (i.e.: passengers can disembark, but are not supposed to board the train), it has every right to depart much […]

Can I combine two "consecutive" tickets on the same journey without leaving the train?

5/28/2021 9:45:40 AM You can just chance it, I’ve made the same mistake, explained it at the barrier and they have waved me through. Last time I checked, the price difference is 10p. Caveat Emptor… Traveling with 24inch monitor 5/27/2021 11:11:22 AM Yes you can do this – as long as the train stops at […]

Is it acceptable to bring your own food to beer gardens in Prague?

12/29/2018 10:39:45 PM It is inappropriate. And frankly, there is no reason for that. The only reason for bringing your own food would probably be some kind of birthday party (in a pub), where your friends would give you a homemade cake.

Traveling with 24inch monitor

Traveling with 24inch monitor

5/17/2021 2:47:28 PM Personally, I would probably not bother taking a $150 USD monitor in an airplane (though I can imagine circumstances where it might be necessary). If you don’t have the original box (or don’t want to use it because it makes it look new), I would suggest packing the monitor with something rigid […]

Anyone tried to bond merchandise in Qatar airport?

12/26/2019 8:51:52 PM What I know for sure, The Doha airport has no locker facility for in-transit passengers. If the stones you have are in the form of some Jewelry and you are wearing it, then you can carry with you outside the airport. If you can not carry them, book the lounge which provides […]

Is there really no way for Australian citizens to return home from India right now legally?

5/2/2021 12:14:41 PM They can spend 14 days in another country and then return, but that becomes increasingly difficult with travel restrictions. Australian citizens are simply not allowed to return home, even if they found a way? That’s why the laws threatens with fines and jail terms. They will not be sent back if they […]

Delta carry-on policy

11/26/2018 1:55:42 PM Can anyone clarify for me whether or not I’m allowed to take a laptop inside its proper backpack, plus a carry-on like the one in the image above? I just flew on Delta last week with my laptop in a laptop bag. The laptop bag fit under the seat in front of […]

Do airlines book you on other airlines if they cancel flights?

12/23/2020 12:47:38 AM Yes, most of the times. In my experience 5 times they did (All international flights in the past 3 months), 1 time they didn’t (national flight within Argentina). Emirates and Qatar airlines did it automatically, Gol airlines (Brazil) I had to insist until they did it. I guess Lufthansa will do it […]

How strict is AirAsia with 7 kg carry-on limit?

11/23/2018 1:36:15 PM I’ve flown with Air Asia a few times and with other airlines that have hand luggage weight limits. I’ve never had my bag weighed by Air Asia, though I have seen others go through this. It does sometimes happen. My impression is that I’d say it really depends on two factors. 1: […]

How does Eurostar segregate Brussels-bound and London-bound passengers from the Netherlands?

12/16/2020 9:26:15 PM I have not been able to take that train yet, (it was cancelled when I was booked on it, September,) but I think they do it that same way, allow Brussels and Lille passengers in one part of the train and UK passengers in the other part. The platform in Amsterdam has […]
