10/10/2016 6:10:07 AM I did manage to get the visa and am already back from a successful stay in Sweden. Here is a description of my experience.

5/17/2016 3:28:45 PM SV775 COK-RUH arrives at terminal 2 according to flightstats. SV117 RUH-LHR also departs terminal 2 but I could only see that by searching google.

Getting into Brazil with an onward ticket from another country

9/27/2018 4:03:06 AM A bit later to help you but it might help others. Brazil isn’t that rigorous when it comes to imigrantion, all depends on your citizenship. As Germany had been so friendly to Brazilians, Brazil just reply the same rules and treatments. If you look like a tourist, have enough money, everything will […]

Procedure to take layover in Italy, as non-EU citizen with US visa?

5/9/2016 10:47:00 AM The information you found is outdated. There used to be a transit visa for the Schengen area but this is not the case anymore. And as you correctly surmised, the exemption for US visa holders only applies to the airport transit visa requirement. So you simply need a regular “uniform” short-stay Schengen […]

Can I take a flight to Canada which stops in the USA, if I have restrictions from entering the USA?

4/24/2013 5:43:27 AM Sorry, but you have to enter the US when you have a stopover there. That’s a constant hassle for people who have connecting flights to catch there (or even just a fuelstop during which they have to deplane). They all have to go through the ESTA process (or even apply for a […]

Flying within UK without passport as an international student

5/6/2016 8:36:28 PM I will readily presume you are flying flybe and not connecting for what otherwise is a 1:10hr flight. flybe id requirements lists everything acceptable. In particular, University/college ID card is mentioned. Edit: apparently easyJet flies to Belfast International (flybe flies to Belfast City) and their requirements curiously does not mention the University/college […]

4/26/2013 4:53:33 PM If you have got luck you can find a cheap ticket for buses (but not direct). For example www.polskibus.com (available in english).

Is there a land route from China through Mongolia to Tuva?

Is there a land route from China through Mongolia to Tuva?

11/20/2016 11:58:01 AM To my understanding the Koch Agach border crossing is the nearest road available to foreigners. On the russian side you are not allowed to pass within a border zone of 50 km without a permit. Generally the “tuva track” from Koch Agach east is considered the most scenic approach but requires “highly […]

5/6/2016 12:52:48 PM Let’s say you buy a spare battery for your laptop and forget to put it in your carry-on (as per IATA rules). What happens next? “Do nothing” happens. Remove battery happens. Fine or prosecution MAY happen. Take you off plane is less likely than take bag off plane, leave you on. | […]

However a different site called Parkopedia lists their price list: Parkopedia shows numerous alternative parking spots in that area, so you shouldn’t have an issue finding a spot: First time travelling alone – […]

Russia roadmap with information on the surface

3/27/2013 12:05:53 PM One advice for you if you planning to ride Russia on car. In general, spring is time when roads are in most poor state. End of summer is time when roads are mostly repaired. Middle of it is a hell of continuous repairs and as a result of them – traffic jams […]

First time travelling alone – transit Munich airport, terminal 2

4/29/2016 6:10:53 PM Because you’re arriving from outside the Schengen area and going to a destination outside the Schengen area, yes, there will be a separate way for transit passengers. This is specifically so they can reach their outbound flights without passing through passport control. If you are authorized, that is, if you have or […]

3/14/2013 2:53:48 PM If you are choosing between a business or first MileSAAver or an economy AAnytime, the only reason to choose AAnytime is to maximize your flexibility in changing flights. An AAnytime award can be changed essentially any time until the day of departure with no penalty, provided there is a seat available, whereas […]

Can I import homebrewed alcohol to Norway?

Can I import homebrewed alcohol to Norway?

3/8/2013 7:06:25 PM The import laws cited on the the page of Norway’s Toll Office do not distinguish between the manner the alcohol has been created (because that would likely be rather difficult); only by the strength. You’re allowed for free (see the link for how much you have to pay if you need to […]

What does '48 hours before departure' mean?

3/2/2013 7:44:43 PM It means you should confirm your flight by 48 hours prior to departure. In reality your window is likely to be from a few hours before that point to a few hours after. And it can be essential for some flights, as if you don’t confirm then they may allocate your seats […]

How can I find the arrival gate for a flight?

How can I find the arrival gate for a flight?

3/1/2013 8:00:49 AM The data on arrival gates that is published online has a big problem-it is often inaccurate because the arrival gates get changed a lot. A previous flight out may be delayed so a gate hasn’t been freed up; similarly if the flight in is delayed or may have missed its assigned slot […]

Step-free / wheelchair (or few steps) access on the Barcelona Metro

Step-free / wheelchair (or few steps) access on the Barcelona Metro

4/29/2016 2:35:24 PM I think you should look for the disabled metro map, which is easily to find on google. I would explain more but I think the image says pretty much all. You will have to zoom to read which stations have “annoying stairs” and stations with elevator. About the steps that separate the […]
