What does "The following London stations are available for travel with the chosen ticket" mean?

4/26/2016 7:48:27 PM Except for a few special cases, a ticket to London Terminals is only valid until you reach your first of the London Terminals. It is almost never valid by tube. As explained on the National Rail Enquiries website in the London Terminals section Tickets issued for travel to/from London usually show ‘London […]

Berlin Public Transport Ticket Validity

4/22/2016 2:30:44 PM You can find a detailed description of the stamp content on this page (in German). The calendar week and last digit of year assumptions in the comments are correct. Your ticket was stamped 10:00 on the Sunday (So) of calendar week 15 (April 11th to 17th) in the year 2016 by ticket […]

Using my Azerbaijan driver's license in the Netherlands?

4/19/2016 12:48:59 PM It seems that you can. The RDW – the Netherlands Vehicle Authority – have a little bit of information in English on their website. Specifically (but confusingly), the “Using a foreign driving licence after becoming a resident of the Netherlands” page has a section at the bottom: A tourist in the Netherlands? […]

From which point near the NSW/QLD border does it become legal for pedestrians to walk along the M1 (Pacific Highway)?

6/3/2016 7:23:44 AM From which point near the NSW/QLD border does it become legal for pedestrians to walk along the M1 (Pacific Highway)? From which point do I change my clock? Really you’d have to guess a bit, but I’d say you’d be okay once you’ve passed the ‘Welcome to NSW’ sign… Which coincidentally is […]

Where is this Indian-style palace with a large pool?

4/12/2016 9:23:18 PM This is Sun City Resort in South Africa, opened in 1979, specifically it’s the Palace of the Lost City. There’s some apartheid-era history to it (thanks @Andrew Grimm) but it’s still open today. You can use a service like TinEye or Google image search to search for pictures like this on the […]

Does a "Visa on Departure" exist?

4/15/2016 4:20:59 PM (some of the info here might be dated – but still it might show that such a process is indeed recognized by some international laws) Yes , Since I am travelling really a lot for business, I have encountered them in some (special) situation, although not in Airports, but in walk-in borders […]

Do reputable taxis in Jakarta accept credit card?

4/11/2016 2:46:31 PM If you’re taking a taxi from the airport, once you go out from the terminal, you will find a few official “kiosks” for all reputable taxi companies, including BlueBird and SilverBird.

Trying to get Schengen Visa for France – is Consulate Appointment Broken?

Trying to get Schengen Visa for France – is Consulate Appointment Broken?

4/10/2016 1:11:56 PM Is the site broken? Unlikely, it is more likely that the consulate in San Francisco is not booking appointments at the moment. Attempting to book an appointment using the link you gave, gives a screen like this… And on this page we observe that French consulates use an app called ‘rendez-vous’. So […]

Are there any transatlantic car ferries from Europe to North/South America?

4/5/2016 3:50:33 PM Although there is such a thing as a cruise ferry, they are not equipped for the rough conditions and long distances of transoceanic voyages. I do not think Cunard is set up to accept your car as checked baggage, though it might be possible to arrange freighter travel with your car, if […]

Do layovers count in the 90-in-180 Schengen rule?

3/24/2018 2:46:55 PM It’s actually very simple, there are no complex rules on how to keep time, what counts or not, or anything like that. Each time you cross an external border, you should get a stamp with a date on it. The day you got an entry stamp, the day you got an exit […]

3/29/2016 8:46:15 PM The ITA Matrix can do this (obviously. ITA Matrix can do everything and then some and then some more).

8/11/2016 5:23:30 PM Although it would be convenient for you it is not possible: Imjingak is for concerts / festivals, not for DMZ tour pickups. Is it legal to bring and carry a baton (weapon, bludgeon) into Denmark? Credit:stackoverflow.com‘

Do disposable contact lenses need to be declared as "liquids"?

3/9/2016 11:05:30 AM (this should be a comment, but i don’t have enough reputation, sorry about that) Also be aware that some companies, like Ryanair don’t allow you to take contact lenses in your checked baggage: You must not include in Checked Baggage money, jewellery, precious metals, keys, cameras, computers, medicines, spectacles, sunglasses, contact lenses, […]

How to apply for a Belarus tourist visa without booking a hotel?

3/2/2018 12:21:56 AM I have transited through Belarus several times. You are not required to check in at the hotel with a prior arrangement. There are many reasons why people change hotels. You can stay at any hotel and Belarusian authorities don’t care which hotel you stay as long as you exit the country within […]

4/21/2017 3:17:22 AM We have taken multiple airlines throughout Europe during 28-40 day trips over the past 2 summers.

2/7/2016 3:09:17 PM Yes you can, just say you wanna pitstop/go through the city “odense”. It’s the “central” city of the island in the middle “fyn”.
