What's the furthest south (in Chile) that you can get from Santiago, Chile by public bus?

4/8/2020 12:51:12 PM In January 2011 we took a bus down to Puerto Montt. There was no continuous road to go south further due to a volcano that destroyed the road. We continued the trip with a bus to Chiloe Island (over a ferry), spent a fews days on Chiloe, then took the ferry at […]

Are there electrical outlets in the sleeper cars of the California Zephyr?

8/28/2012 3:49:36 PM Just to confirm, when I took the trip in December 2011, there was a 120 volt outlet that said “Razor Only” However, it charged my nook, laptop and two phones without issue.

Is it a problem to go through immigration 3 times in 2 weeks, for really short periods?

8/12/2016 12:48:27 PM The only real problem you have is the stamps, they will take some space! making your passport full faster than it should be. That’s the only problem you might have. Singapore is a business hub, some businessmen go there on weekly basis or even more than that. Just like Dubai. In addition […]

I am a US citizen and want to travel to Mexico but only have my Mexican passport

8/11/2016 10:11:41 PM By law, American citizens are restricted from using other nationality documents to enter the US.

Which countries are "Muslim countries"?

Which countries are "Muslim countries"?

11/12/2011 9:22:42 AM I can answer about the Middle East & North Africa only (the politically so-called “Arab World”) Egypt and Tunisia are not Muslim Countries since Islamic law is only one of the sources of legislation, not the only one, and used only in specific cases. Muslim Countries are ones like Saudi Arabia, Iran, […]

8/13/2016 2:17:50 PM As far as i know Nigerians are not given visit/tourist visas to Taiwan. It has to be a business visa not matter what. I visited last year and looking to visit again this year. What documents are required to enter Poland with a dog from outside the EU? Credit:stackoverflow.com‘

TrueCrypt Volumes: Will it cause any trouble?

5/31/2012 5:11:48 PM I’ve entered the US many times (as a citizen), nobody has ever looked at my laptop, let alone my flash drives. Admittedly I have never been coming from a sex-tourist country and as an adult I’ve never come without my wife next to me. What options are there for "disabled" assistance at […]

What documents are required to enter Poland with a dog from outside the EU?

10/6/2016 11:40:02 AM Abstracted from PetTravel.com with tailoring to what I believe to be your requirements: To enter Poland, your pet must first be microchipped with an ISO 11784/11785 pet microchip that is a 15 digit and non-encrypted. If your pet’s microchip is not ISO 11784/11785 compliant, you can bring your own microchip scanner. A […]

7/11/2016 3:27:13 PM Heathrow Airport provides golf buggies for passengers with mobility issues, I have seen these in operation. You may have to request special assistance from your airline at least 48 hours in advance. The key point is that your airline is responsible for ensuring boarding assistance, they should be the ones you liaise […]

Does the ITA Matrix work for all destinations?

8/9/2016 8:33:12 PM Besides the specific limitations around Cuba, ITA Matrix only shows regularly scheduled flights generally available through airline Global Distribution Systems. As such, it won’t show you flights on Southwest Airlines in the US (as they don’t publish their fares besides their own website). It also won’t show you more unusual flights, such […]

What are my options for transportation around the Great Plains (US)?

2/5/2013 9:41:30 AM As a native-Montanan and a traveler, I highly recommend renting a car when traveling in Montana. Bus service is expensive and irregular. What’s more, many desirable destinations simply do not have bus service. Greyhound recently cancelled (see article linked below) many of their in-state routes. Megabus and other cheap bus companies DO […]

Can I take my bike on rail replacement buses in France?

8/9/2016 11:39:20 AM It depends. You need to check the specific line, or announcements about the replacement service. Look up the information booklet (“dépliant” or “fiche horaire”) about the line you want to travel on. For a regional line, go to the TER website. The summer 2016 booklet states Les vélos sont acceptés à bord […]

Belarussian travelling to Mexico

8/8/2016 6:02:54 PM I’m not sure what you put into Timatic to cause it to display "Visa required, except for Passengers with a valid visa issued by Canada, Japan, USA, United Kingdom or a Schengen Member State For details, click here for a maximum stay of 180 days." This seemed wrong to me, as I […]

Using Occupy Wall Street as a travel hack – any downsides?

11/5/2011 8:50:25 PM Make no mistake: this is not a travel “hack”, you would be doing them a favor for staying at the locales, and by travelling between the various protests, you could begin sharing the commonalities/differences between the movements. The reason they are putting on these demonstrations is to give people like you a […]

3/28/2016 5:30:00 PM This is an answer to the question almost posed in the title “What is the cost of hiring a porter for Everest base camp?” I won’t talk about the money you would need to shell out, but I will argue that the costs are higher than you think. The main points are: […]
