Is possible to travel within India via Air with an International Driver's License? My Indian Passport renewal application is currently processing

1/23/2017 3:07:18 PM I think yes (for Canadian Driver’s Licence rather than just International Driving permit), based on GoAir‘s requirements, but would myself choose to check with whichever airline is chosen: All Customers must present valid identification at check-in. The valid photo identification documents allowed are: Valid Passport / Driving License / Election Voter Card […]

Visa required, except for passengers with a valid visa issued by Canada, Japan, USA, United Kingdom or a Schengen Member State for a maximum stay of 180 days Note that the official immigration website is outdated, only stating that Schengen […]

The infamous "Balance of Probabilities" with UK visas and Immigration

3/27/2017 9:22:24 AM The question appears to be based on two false premises. First, immigration decisions are not based on some kind of mathematical model involving sampling from various probability distributions and computing an estimate of the probability that the applicant is genuine. As you are aware, “Balance of probabilities” is a widely used phrase […]

Are there toilets on the Stradbroke Island ferry?

1/31/2017 3:40:24 AM If you are talking about the car ferries, than yes there are toilets on them (even the older models). Look for signs upstairs in the cafe area.

I have an extra legroom seat- can I resell once on board

3/24/2017 3:44:39 PM At many airlines, you can change your seat during the online check-in. Try this first to change your seat or to upgrade the seat of your husband if there is a free seat next to you. Otherwise come early to the check-in and as the check-in agent if it is possible to […]

Does a verified US citizen need a police & medical report to return from Ghana?

4/20/2017 1:57:48 PM First off I believe you are being scammed. Being Ghanaian and American, having had extensive interactions with the American Embassy in Accra, and having lived in Ghana for decades, I have some knowledge on how these scam artists operate and it smells like a fish and stinks to the high heavens once […]

Are bus tickets acceptable for Air Asia as a proof of onward travel?

4/22/2018 11:50:40 AM Officially Cambodia’s policy is possession of a “return ticket”, which by definition means a ticket that takes you back whence you came on the same type conveyance. A “return ticket” is the most common specification for proof of exiting the country within the time allowed used by countries all over the world. […]

Is there anywhere in the world an alternative to Cap d'Agde as a nudist resort?

3/22/2017 8:30:14 AM Depends on what you call an alternative… There are quite a few naturist camp grounds and resorts with (some) facilities, usually a small grocery store/supermarket, a swimming pool and/or sauna, and a restaurant/snackbar. But I’m not aware of anything on the same scale. In the Netherlands there’s Flevonatuur near Zeewolde for example […]

Asian ladies and older man grabbing cheeks and slapping butts for children

3/17/2017 1:51:32 PM The article Don’t Touch My Child! Lessons from Asia by Cordelia Newlin de Rojas at InCultureParent.com article may be of interest. I can’t speak for all Asian cultures but in Singapore and Thailand, people love kids. And I am talking everyone. Age and gender simply don’t factor in. At first, I admittedly […]

Manhattan subway for the claustrophobic

4/6/2017 3:50:34 AM Are there certain trains that are more busy and certain trains that are less busy? It depends a lot. All trains are busy but only in certain areas. Usually trains are less busy first 3-7 stops from the last/first stop (local). For express train first 2-5 stops can be ok. Are peak […]

Can United make me pay for rebooking a flight cancelled due to snowstorm?

3/14/2017 4:41:15 PM I ended up calling United, and they were happy to put me on a Lufthansa flight the next day, free of charge. Thanks to everyone for the answers/comments. Can I go through security at US airports without being physically touched by an official? 3/13/2017 9:32:43 PM The answer to the main question […]

What Exactly Is Minimum Connection Time?

1/16/2017 3:46:31 PM From a slightly different perspective…(chx provides the technical definition. The practical result is this.) Minimum connection time is the shortest duration between scheduled Arrival and next scheduled Departure* for which the airline will sell a single ticket. This is determined by the airline and can be different between airports. Also different airlines […]

Can I go through security at US airports without being physically touched by an official?

3/15/2017 3:05:06 AM On an unpredictable basis I would say we have been touched roughly 1 time in 20. Beyond that we have drawn searches for things that we had some control over: 1) Two layers of clothing will likely prompt a search. A couple of times flying out of a cold place I was […]

Going to Argentina from Brazil without a Brazilian entry stamp

1/14/2017 3:38:02 PM I agree with Crazydre that it won’t be a problem when going to Argentinian side of Iguazu (just don’t exit the bus, I did that last week and no one cared). But later, when you’ll be leaving Brazil by any other border (I’m assuming your passport is not Brazilian), you need to […]

Lufthansa denied boarding after coming from another delayed Lufthansa flight for 5 minutes

3/8/2017 10:51:46 PM Useful tip for the future: If it seems like your current flight might arrive late and make your onward connection difficult, let the crew know. I have known some airlines to radio ahead, and to prioritise disembarkation for passengers with a tight connection. Proper etiquette to be able to bring sex worker […]

Aer Lingus Stopover with no time at destination

1/12/2017 3:14:44 PM Do I need to retrieve my bags and check in at LHR for the return trip to BOS in the two hour window I have at LHR?!? No. The baggage check system is totally independent of the fare construction on the ticket. Instead, whether the baggage is checked-through or not is calculated […]

Making stopover but luggage to final destination

1/9/2017 2:10:53 PM I have done what the OP is trying to do, though I was transiting Kuala Lumpur and my stopover was only 29 hours, also I specifically asked the check-in staff to check my bag through to my final destination. I presume my baggage just sat around the baggage handling area until the […]

Proper etiquette to be able to bring sex worker in hotel room?

2/17/2017 12:46:12 PM Strangely enough, using different keywords when searching for this topic gave different results. Searching for “sex worker hotel” gave results such as Qld laws ban sex workers from hotels, motels, about hotels in Queensland, Australia (not a jurisdiction you’re asking about) being allowed to ban sex workers. However, searching for “escort hotel” […]
