Is possible to cross the Bering Strait without flying?

12/7/2011 9:17:37 PM Crossing Bering Strait on a boat does seem possible but it’s going to be difficult practically. Adam Katz put together a bunch of notes on how to do this. From the looks of it, it appears you might have to pay your way through it on commercial fishing vessels which operate in […]

Are there domestic flights that are cheaper if you instead use an international connection?

Are there domestic flights that are cheaper if you instead use an international connection?

9/24/2019 4:51:44 PM I see flights between Jakarta and Medan, Indonesia that are cheaper if they include a stop in Singapore. Obviously this will change constantly, but currently a Google Flights search for KNOCGK roundtrip 11/13-11/20 shows a $128 itinerary with a stop in SIN, but $178 for the cheapest domestic flight. Is kirpan allowed […]

Is kirpan allowed in Singapore MRT?

4/13/2018 6:13:46 PM The link you gave is from “Sikh Advisory Board, Singapore“. They say “Kirpan is allowed to be carried in public if it meets certain security criteria“. So MRT is a public transportation system and according to them (SAB, Singapore) you can carry Kirpan with you in public i.e. also when you are […]

How can I buy train tickets within the UK from abroad?

12/10/2011 1:20:00 AM You can collect online train tickets from most (but not all) ticket offices, by showing your payment card and reference numbers. You do not have to collect the tickets from the same station you are travelling from. Although all the Train Operating Companies sell all companies’ tickets from the same fares database, […]

What restrictions can be expected travelling UK -> Cuba -> USA?

3/24/2018 3:34:06 PM Since you are not a US citizen nobody will ask you a question. Nothing to worry about. Just like any other international flight. Even if you were a US citizen, you just need to fill one page form when you fly from US to Cuba, not the other way around. Can I […]

How to manage/store luggage for an afternoon in Hong Kong?

12/2/2011 12:50:40 AM You can store baggage at Hong Kong International Airport itself. There’s a baggage storage facility at Level 3, Terminal 2. At 10 HKD / hour, it’s quite inexpensive too! Here’s something you should consider though: peak time traffic is bad in Hong Kong and if you plan to reach your host’s house […]

Can I travel to Germany with a criminal record?

4/21/2018 7:34:20 PM The Schengen Area doesn’t have a policy of refusing entry to people based on criminal records, unless they believe you’ll pose a security hazard. So as long as your passport has at least 3 months left on the day of intended return, and you can justify your visit if asked, you’re good […]

Does Belo Horizonte airport have an international transit area?

1/26/2019 11:09:32 PM I’m hoping for a more specific answer, but here’s what the airline, Azul Linhas Aereas Brasileiras, replied: As Brazil and Argentina have a territory agreement in South America, you will just make a short connection in Belo Horizonte, with no need of new customs. Post-travel update: There was a ground agent at […]

Can I book flights directly from Google Flights?

Any queries regarding the flight has to be answered by the supplier only. It will be a single ticket. Traveling to London with a dismissed […]

International transfer in Tel Aviv?

8/13/2019 7:25:57 PM As others have noted, it might make sense going North/South. I recently travelled from Johannesburg to Bucharest via Israel. I think it probably was a relatively cheap way to make the trip – first leg with El Al, second leg with Wizz Air – but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it: El Al […]

Traveling to London with a dismissed misdemeanor

2/27/2018 12:22:28 AM I heard you have to wait 12 months after you have gotten off probation There are no “have to”‘s whatsoever in this regard. You don’t get a ban due to probation. At the end of the day, a single misdemeanour is not normally a cause for concern. To be safe, you could […]

What should I do/visit in Qatar for 8 hours?

12/5/2011 2:37:20 AM First, make sure you are allowed to leave the airport with your passport/visa. Visa on arrival is available for many countries, but costs US$28 for 30 days. But that’s only certain countries, other ones are more complicated. Wikitravel is limited, but suggests the following sites: The Museum of Islamic Art, Doha Souq […]

Temporary loss of passport (EU citizen in other EU country)

2/27/2018 6:18:32 AM Under German law (§ 8 FreizügG/EU) you are required to have identity papers and to carry them with you during the border crossing. Failure to do so would be a misdemeanor (§ 10 FreizügG/EU) if it was intentional or negligent and may be punished by a fine. I seriously doubt that a […]

What kind of a car do I need to travel along the Panamerica?

11/17/2011 3:54:40 PM I traveled most of the Panamerica by public bus in 2008-2010. A normal car should be sufficient for the main road even though south of Mexico is is usually a 2-lane affair and can be pretty windy in the mountains and you can’t go too fast. However you may want to leave […]

Spouse joining business visitor to UK for part of trip

3/31/2018 3:38:07 AM I believe that technically the answer is NO: however there is a comments “additional information” field where I believe that it should be shared that spouse will be travelling independently on a date to join up with applicant for said period of time. Likewise comment should be made on spouse application “joining […]

Are all trains/buses within the EU non-smoking? What about smoking on platforms?

3/27/2019 11:38:51 AM In Spain smoking is prohibited in all public/collective transport premises. That includes open-air stations. Usually there will be warning signs and ashtrays at the limit of the area, but not always. It’s also prohibited in closed spaces where workers can be present. This includes bars, restaurants and clubs. Which Cities In Finland […]

Can a Tibet Travel Permit be issued with Chinese visa in an expired passport?

9/19/2019 12:16:00 AM I am going through this issue right now. My travel agency said that Tibet refused my Visa because my Chinese Visa was in my expired passport. I had sent both my new passport and my expired passport with a Chinese Visa that was good for another 8 years. I was told that […]

How do rental car companies check if I've had my license for the required amount of time?

3/27/2018 10:14:51 PM I don’t think that they can. I don’t think there is any easy way to accomplish this. In many jurisdictions, the only way to establish the original date of licensing would be to get a copy of your driving abstract. In most jurisdictions this involves hassle and expense, and is normally only […]
