ESTA Application: Is a US state ID a national ID card?

2/13/2018 3:28:24 PM You are correct, you should be fine. The question is trying to get at whether you have any other citizenship aside from the country that issued the passport you used to apply for ESTA. State ID cards say nothing about the citizenship of the bearer (aside from enhanced state ID cards, which […]

Is two weeks enough time to drive from Tallinn to Stockholm and have enough time to visit the major cities along the way?

8/18/2017 9:40:13 PM A bit late, but partly based on my own experience: I’ve done Gdańsk – Vilnius – Rīga – Tallinn – Rīga – Klaipėda, single driver, albeit I did the trip in summer. From Gdańsk onwards is an educated guess based on map data. There’s an overnight ferry from Stockholm to Tallinn vie […]

British Citizen/UK resident flying to Mexico on a Mauritian passport. Do I require a visa?

2/11/2018 2:33:55 PM To get visa-free access to Mexico as a resident of the UK, a citizen of a country whose nationals normally require visas must show a UK residence permit. As a British citizen, you do not have a UK residence permit. Therefore, this visa exemption will not be useful to you. Can a […]

Which city to visit in Europe during January?

Which city to visit in Europe during January?

1/10/2013 4:42:57 PM If you like scenic views, good food, very nice people, very beautiful gardens, traditional culture / museums than I would advise Funchal (Madeira). The temperature in winter is very nice and you can get very nice prices at this time of year. Since it’s one of the most southern cities in Europe, […]

Hotel booking for someone else with my credit card

2/6/2018 3:48:43 PM I used to have a similar problem in the past when I traveled for work. My employer would book and pay for hotels but I’d be asked for a card (or sometimes a deposit – once as high as $500!) for incidentals. I talked with the people at my employer who book […]

Permanent residence elsewhere as a condition for entry with a tourist visa

5/1/2018 7:09:27 PM Entry as a tourist is never guaranteed, the officers in most countries are supposed to deny entry if they have reason to believe that you’re pretending to be a tourist but actually planning to overstay and/or work. Many factors can increase or decrease the officers’ suspicion about whether you are really a […]

WildLife Tourist Destination in France

11/5/2011 9:28:31 PM Parks in Paris’ vincinity: Bois de Vincennes and, a bit wilder, the Bois de Boulogne. Even though large and not in Paris center, these are both city parks, and you should not expect anything wild there. Closest “real” forest to Paris: Fontainebleau forest. This one has a few deers, but you should […]

Permanent family member of Latvian citizen. Can I travel to the UK or Ireland without an article 20 residency permit?

2/4/2018 7:05:26 PM Your card is not an article 20 card, because those are issued to people whose family member lives in an EU/EFTA state other than that of their nationality. Your wife is Latvian and lives in Latvia, so you don’t qualify. As such, you’ll need an EEA Family Permit for the UK, and […]

Do any Mexican bus lines provide Internet access?

4/8/2012 4:52:48 AM After some more research, and help from a friend here in Mexico, I have found that the following bus lines (listed in alphabetical order) offer free WiFi on some of their routes: Autobuses Americanos provided me with Internet access between Austin, TX and Laredo, TX, but once we crossed into Mexico, the […]

Do EU passenger rights also apply on flights which are operated as a code-share with a non-EU based airline?

10/30/2011 7:42:25 AM The rules will apply to the operating carrier. ie, the one that is actually flying the flight – not the one that you booked with. EU Compensation applies to EU airlines regardless of where the flight is to/from, AND to non-EU airlines for flights DEPARTING an EU member state. eg, a Lufthansa […]

What is the cheapest way of getting to Abbotsford Airport from Vancouver?

11/28/2018 6:49:45 PM Changing this answer since Greyhound not longer serves Western Canada. Luckily ebus has stepped in and runs straight from Abbotsford Airport to Vancouver. (I work for Busbud, the linked ticketing site.) Can a minor (17 years old) travel from the US to the UK unaccompanied? Credit:stackoverflow.com‘

Can a minor (17 years old) travel from the US to the UK unaccompanied?

1/29/2018 2:39:28 PM Yes. My kids have been doing this since they were about 15 or so, and there was never a problem. Check the airline rules about “unaccompanied minors”, just to be safe, but as 17 year old, you will for all practical purposes be treated as an adult traveler. That comes of course […]

1/25/2012 9:21:42 PM The Kona side of the Big Island has the most extensive coral reefs in the main islands. “Two-step” just outside of Pu’uohonua o Honaunau has an easy entry and has an extensive shallow reef top. It is frequented by turtles on the South side (towards the Place of Refuge) and Hawai’ian spinner […]

Where can you go lake ice skating in Southern Sweden?

11/22/2016 10:39:34 AM Vättern only rarely freezes, and is always quite dangerous to skate on. There are many smaller lakes in the area. For example Västersjön by the airport freezes most winters and is quite popular. As always, read up on ice skating safety and what equipment you need. Venice Marco Polo Airport to Venice […]

Accessing Karlsruhe from a major airport

1/27/2018 12:11:03 PM A note on German train booking, if for some reason you are not using rail&fly (whose availability and price is dependent on the flight carrier you choose): you get two prices for each train, “fixed” and “flexible”. Fixed (which is a condition of almost everything offered as “savings fare”) means that you […]

How to verify, with different airlines, that the broker booked the flight correctly?

How to verify, with different airlines, that the broker booked the flight correctly?

2/4/2018 1:39:06 PM Just checked my confirmation from Kiwi and that’s what I have: Kiwi number is 6-digit length and it is the same for all legs of your route. It doesn’t checkable on airline sites, only on Kiwi site. PNR numbers (alphanumeric) are unique for each leg of your transfer and are perfectly checkable […]

Accommodation in Tokyo for a party of four

11/1/2011 6:51:58 PM Your question is a little confusing. You’re asking about staying in Tokyo, but there are no hot spring inns (“ryokan,” as others have already pointed out) that I know of in Tokyo. In Tokyo, your best bet for an authentic Japanese experience would probably be one of the guesthouses. You could, however, […]
