Can a friend (fellow passenger) take my baggage on a connecting flight that I am unable to board?

4/7/2018 2:35:03 PM Here is how the airline rules said that should be handled: Split the reservation into two separate ones. Execute a change on your reservation that removes the leg you won’t take. This will incur a change fee (yes, you need to pay extra for not taking a flight you already have paid […]

Single name repeated as first name and last name on Schengen visa

1/28/2015 10:47:44 AM No problem. Single names are common, and duplicating them is a common “hack” for entering them on systems that insist on two names. How easy/hard is it to backpack to Taiwan knowing only English? Credit:stackoverflow.com‘

3/9/2018 12:02:47 PM Note that this is specific to European airports as listed in the question. It is not applicable worldwide as pointed out by @jpatokal. Yes, according to this European directive: 4.1.3 Screening of liquids, aerosols and gels (LAGs) 4.1.3.1 LAGs carried by passengers may be exempted from screening with LEDS equipment upon entry […]

How easy/hard is it to backpack to Taiwan knowing only English?

1/27/2015 2:57:58 PM I’ve travelled around rural parts of Russia, Mongolia, China and other countries where English is not widely spoken and few tourists go without knowing the native languages myself. As others have said, it’s surprising how much you can communicate without using language when you have the need. My advice is to bring […]

How to rent a car where the second driver cannot be present at rental pickup time?

3/8/2018 12:34:20 AM Most of the answers here, and the question too for that matter, seem to assume that you’re going to use the rental agency’s loss damage waiver, and in my experience, they’re accurate. However, most “premium” credit cards (MC World, MC World Elite, etc…) have a “Travel Protection” benefit which covers you, and […]

3/5/2018 1:00:28 AM The Schengen area (of which France forms part) and Ireland are different countries for border purposes. Therefore, you will need a passport (or national ID card from an EU/EFTA country) to exit France and enter Ireland – it will have to be presented to border control, and also stamped in the case […]

KLM refused luggage return during 3 day delay

3/4/2018 3:04:00 AM It is understandable that it is diffcult for them to sort the luggage out and give it to you, but according to the usual rules, they should be responsible for paying for your necessities, as well as the hotels and food, as the delay is their fault. It should be cheaper for […]

2/5/2015 3:57:48 PM You really don’t need to bring it, soy milk is widely available at most any supermarket in Australia. You should be allowed to import soy milk if it’s commercially packaged, but you must declare it to biosecurity on arrival, if you fail to declare it you may be subject to fines. Behind […]

I am a citizen of three countries. I am going to travel to not two but all three countries. How do I book the tickets, on which passports?

2/24/2018 12:49:17 AM I have dual but not triple citizenship and I used to travel a lot for business so I had to do some research, but as I am not from any of the countries you have listed, you can take my advice only as a suggestion of facts you need to find for […]

Behind the scenes tours in Zürich

1/26/2015 10:23:14 AM In addition to the standard city tours (which are quite nice, btw.), there are quite a few places that are open to visitors, though most are by appointment only, and several require minimum group sizes. I’ve been to several of these (and some more that are only possible if you know people […]

Does AirCanada provide long layover (24+ hr) accommodation?

1/23/2015 7:26:57 PM I believe that the room you got is specifically a service of Turkish to encourage you to connect through Istanbul. There is a general question on this at Does a layover of more than 6 hours entitle me to accommodation by the airline?. The answers there agree that in general, airlines don’t […]

I have a B2 visa for the US, but I was admitted under the Visa Waiver Program. Now my ESTA will expire before I leave the US. What should I do?

2/19/2018 1:31:56 PM Your ESTA expiring in March is of no consequence. You must leave by April 6 unless you get your admission record corrected. You can ask at a deferred inspection site to have this done. The Deferred Inspection Site staff is also available to review and issue the necessary documents to remedy errors […]

Picking up Italian Trenord tickets booked online when departing from small train stations

8/24/2015 10:11:05 AM Personally I think the note you received is misleading. Your departure station is a small station and does not have a ticket window that can print your ticket. For starters Malpensa is not a small station. Moreover there is a ticket office that is manned during normal office hours. You should therefore […]

Immigration officer allowed stay for a month, but I94 shows 6 months

4/19/2018 1:34:14 AM I think it’s going to be difficult to give you a concrete and absolute answer to the question, but I think there is one obvious answer that should be followed. Your parents should assume that the advice they got from the border agent was accurate, and they should honour the request. There […]
