Train Journey into Croatia from Italy We will be spending some time in Italy during early July this year, and we will be finishing up in Verona. The next part of our trip involves getting into Croatia from here which is proving to be slightly complicated whilst keeping to a travel preference of train over bus. Origin...	As an alternative, you might be able to get a taxi from Opicina to Sezana, it's not all that far (and is unlikely to be more than €15) or even to Divaca which has a much superior rail service.
Does parents' family name refer to mother's married name or maiden name on VWP/ESTA form? The updated visa waiver form asks for my parents' "family" name, as shown below. Does this mean my mothers birth family name or her married family name? <Q> It's always the current name, since this is what she's legally known ...	The family name is required to complete the application.
Can the US still be entered on a tourist visa after permanent resident status is denied/expired? I originally posted this question on expatriates.stackexchange.com, and another user suggested that I ask the question on this site because he felt it is more closely related to travel... My wife was granted a conditional ...	There's no specific rule saying you can't enter the US on a tourist visa after your PR status or other visa expires.
Staying a night at Ercan international airport I will be arriving at Ercan international airport at night and need to wait till morning for another friend to arrive. Is there any facility there I can book for a night? <Q> Ok I can answer my question, as I did travel to North Cyprus via Ercan this weekend and came back ...	The official page of the airport does not mention any hotel/sleeping facility.
Is there a liability limit for a carry-on bag that was forcibly checked plane-side? On many US flights carry-on bags must be checked if the overhead bins are full. In this case the airline forces you to check your bag (for free) against your will. If an item in your bag is worth more than the airline's liability limit ...	If your carry-on is checked, and it contains valuables, they are not liable.
How to remove airlines/security tag stickers from suitcases? I travel a lot, for both business and pleasure reasons. One of the annoying things I face (beside full passport pages) is the many tags stuck to my suitcase which I like to take in almost all my trips. I recently had to give up my favorite 12 years old Samson...	You can use very hot water, the coarser (dark green) side of a dishwashing sponge, and quite a bit of elbow grease to scrub the sticky part of the tape/stickers away. Best things to do this with are a blowtorch, some hot coals, an open fire or a really good heater.
Is the use of APC Kiosks quicker than the paper method In a week I'll be traveling from Europe to Santiago de Chile via Atlanta-Hartsfield (ATL). Does anyone have experience with the Automated Passport Control (APC) kiosks at ATL? I have a relatively short layover and I'm wondering if it is quicker to use the kiosks t...	So while APC is likely to be faster, the only general answer is that it depends. I was in transit through Fort Worth airport 2 days ago and had to queue for ages for an APC kiosk (only half were working)
How can I get to Arusha, Tanzania from Nairobi, Kenya? What are my options (methods, approximate prices, safety, and duration) in getting from Nairobi, Kenya to Arusha, Tanzania? I'll be in Nairobi and want to travel to Arusha to join a Mount Kilimanjaro tour operator that will help me climb the mountain. I found that...	The road between Nairobi and Arusha has been upgraded some years ago. At Busbud.com we sell tickets to travelers for Dar Express and some of the other local bus companies from around USD$19.
From what point could you view the most countries? A fairly simple question: from what single point could you see the most countries? It seems like it should be a popular tourist attraction. This question lists 157 tripoints, however, there's also an almost quadripoint , where 4 countries Botswana, Namibia, Zambia...	Technically, if you stand on the south pole, you can see land claimed by 6 or 7 countries: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territorial_claims_in_Antarctica#mediaviewer/File:Antarctic_Region.png I think the solution to this puzzle depends on small, mountainous countries.
Canadian Expedia refund possibility for missed hotel I booked a hotel with Expedia for the day before I was supposed to be in town. When I arrived, obviously there was no reservation under my name, and I had to book a new room with the hotel itself. Is there any possibility of actually getting a refund or partial credi...	Expedia paid your money to the hotel, the hotel held the room empty for you, so your payment is forfeit.
How do non-English speakers navigate through international airports (specific question about Amsterdam) A relative will visit me in Amsterdam. She does not speak English or any other major language, nor has much experience with air travel. How do people in similar situations find their way? She will arrive with a fli...	Also you could arrange "special assistance" upfront with the airline, this is usually for handicapped or elderly people and they will wait with a wheelchair at the gate for her
Do Chinese customs agents check the contents of Kindles and notebooks? I have books on my Kindle with content that would probably make them ask more questions. It is nothing illegal or even questionable in most countries, but it would lead them to ask questions I don't want asked. I have similar content on my smartphon...	And there's no customs check before domestic flights, you still need to pass security screening though, but the content of your books isn't their concern. I've also entered through Shanghai HongQiao and there was your typical X-Ray machine that you see at subways and at the train station - nothing anywhere near as thor...
Are battery packs allowed in hand luggage? When flying, are you allowed to bring battery packs / power banks? I'd like to bring my ACC 10400mAh Power Bank on several flights. <Q> There are limits that were introduced by the US Federal Aviation Administration . <S> Those have been used as well by numerous other airline...	There are rules re battery carrying which vary somewhat. I also saw signs in Taiwan stating that they had to be in carry-on, NOT checked luggage for some flights, so yeah, you should be fine taking it in carry-on.
Protecting ears from cold I have friends traveling to Western Europe during winter (they come from a warm country), and they wonder how do people actually protect their ears from cold when walking outside (if they do it at all). They have considered using thermal earmuffs. Since these can be easily found in European o...	In those regions, most people don't wear anything particular to protect their ears throughout the winter, it's only when there is an especially harsh bout of cold weather that you will see many locals with some sort of headgear.
(Where) Can I go to a "sleeper" cinema? I came upon an article going around Facebook which shows some unusual cinemas around the world. The first photo shows a number of movie-goers lying in beds watching a flick: The article offers sparse details, at best, only claiming the location is "Olympia Music Hall, France"...	There are lot of luxury cinemas around the word with cosy and comfy beds.
How easy/hard is it to backpack to Taiwan knowing only English? My main concern would be the language barrier. I'm quite aware through some of my Taiwanese friends in Taiwan, English is not widely spoken. What should I do to prepare myself for a future Taiwan trip? <Q> I was in Taiwan in August. <S> Very few proble...	My advice is to bring along some phrase books which list phrases in both English and Chinese; what I have done before now is found the phrase I want to use in English and shown others the translation.
Booking a Vietnam Tour through a Vietnamese operator - what to be aware of? Myself and my partner are planning a two week trip to Vietnam from the UK As part of this we've contacted a bunch of tour companies for possible itinaries and quotes. (We're aware that doing it alone is possible, and are considering it, howeve...	I had good experiences with Vietnamese run tour companies, by: Checking for recommendations both in guidebooks and recent online reviews.
Searching for flights to "Anywhere" in narrow time frame Is there any website that allows searching for (cheap) flight to any destination in a narrow time frame? Ideally I look for the cheapest flights while specifying only: Departure airport (bonus if including nearby airports) Time of departure and return within a...	I often do the exact same thing, the best solution I've found is Google Flights
Flying to Europe with children: preparing for time change I'm flying to Europe with my family this spring, which is my wife and I and two children (will be 2 and almost 4). We're flying Lufthansa, with flights like so: To Europe: 9:30pm (UTC-6) -> 2:30pm (UTC+1) transatlantic, stopover, hop 5:00pm->5:30pm to final d...	So I guess the best advise I could give you is take your first day on arrival as a total loss and make the flights an exciting adventure.
Where to find microwave on the road in the US I'll be driving almost non-stop (no hotels). I have some frozen curry and other things I'd like to heat up as I travel on down the line. Where is it possible to use find a microwave to use? <Q> TA Travel centers and similar truck-stop like facilities might be your best b...	I don't know if this also applies in the US, but I've notices that Mcdonald usually have a microwave in their fast food restaurants. You can buy them from places that cater to RVers or mail order.

The Visa Restrictions Index says that people with a passport from the UK, Finland and Sweden can travel freely to 173 countries. People from Belgium, Italy and The Netherlands can travel to 171. I am interested to learn...	Cote d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast)
Is it normal to walk around an (American) hotel in pajamas? I recently spent a weekend in a hotel with a bunch of friends and colleagues. To help cut down on costs, some of us shared rooms. I like reading before I go to sleep, but my room-mate was tired and went to sleep early. Since I didn't want to bother him with t...	Edit: It's not normal, in my experience, to wear pajamas around at a hotel, but it wouldn't be frowned upon. Most people wear non-sleep clothes while not in their rooms. In the US, it really depends on where you are staying. Basically, if you're not sure, don't do it. In America you can basically wear whatever you want...
How to travel with a minor when you're not their parent? I have a friend travelling and he will be taking his goddaughter to Disneyland Paris. She is a minor. What kind of documentation does he need to travel with her? (He is not officially her tutor or anything like that.) He will travel inside Europe from Portugal ...	When I sent my minor children abroad alone, I always gave them notarized letters of consent.
Does the US government know if I have another passport? Does one country know whether or not a person has another passport from another country? If I have a US passport and a passport from another country and my last name is different in the two passports (father's surname, mother's maiden name), does this still mean ...	A lot would depend on whether the countries share data, whether you actually use both passports, and how you use them.
Proof of sufficient funds for Austrian Visa (Sri Lanka Citizen) I would like to invite my friend from Sri Lanka to Austria. He has an employment and he has confirmations from his employer about his salary but no bank account - only a small saving book. How can he prove sufficient funds? Is it enough when I confirm in...	If your friend plans to pay for the visit and stay, make sure he has sufficient funds for that.
How much is a traveler affected by Ramadan in Indonesia? I'm planning to go to Indonesia this summer. However, Ramadan, where Muslims have to fast during the daytime, is going to be from June 18th to July 16th this year (2015). I'm planning to go to Bali, Java, Sumatra and Sulawesi. Except for Bali, all of those regi...	The situation in Indonesia is very similar to Malaysia, and I'll quote my own answer to another question , with minor tweaks when applicable: While you certainly can get drinks and food, most places that stay open do so a little discreetly, with curtains on the windows etc, and you'll want to show respect to people who...
Should I wear cotton or synthetics in Egypt near summer? I see everywhere advice to wear cotton shirts (long sleeved?) and pants in Egypt due to the hot weather. This is against the "general wisdom" of backpacking, that says to use light clothes that dry fast and can be hand washed easily. I will spend 16 days backpac...	Wear cotton clothes when traveling in Egypt during summer - because of the heat you will sweat a lot and cotton fabric absorbs this sweat and helps the body to cool down.
What is the cheapest form of public transportation from Amsterdam to Northern Ireland? I'm looking for the cheapest way to travel by public transport from Amsterdam to Northern Ireland (Belfast). I don't care about the time to reach the destination, I just don't know how can I reach Belfast without park in London first...	Easyjet appears to have cheap flights between Amsterdam and Belfast, although I'm not sure how many hidden fees are added to their advertised price. On megabus.co.uk , you can find an Amsterdam - London ticket for 17.50 pounds.
Will I fit in a first class airplane seat? I am 655 pounds (297kg) and 6 feet 4 inches (193cm) tall. Will I fit in a first class seat? I want to be able to take my wife of 15 years on a honeymoon and will likely need to fly to go anywhere good. I have never been on an airplane before and have heard stories of people ge...	You'll be best off contacting the airline directly because the seat size depends on the aircraft they use; while you may be ok in first class on an overseas flight, a little regional jet's first class seat might be too small.
Is it rude to talk on a mobile phone for the whole journey, when travelling alone in a London black taxi? I had an uncanny feeling that it was rude of me to talk on a mobile phone for the whole journey, while travelling alone in a London black taxi. Is it the etiquette to have a conversation with the indeed highly qual...	My intuition as a Londoner was that this was absolutely fine, but then I had a moment of self-doubt and worried that maybe I'd been being rude in not talking much to cabbies all these years.
Petrol prices in New Zealand I am driving across / up New Zealand shortly and would like some more information on petrol prices. Is there a resource available from which I can deduce what the travel cost will be approximately? We will be driving the following route: Greymouth - Franz Josef - Queenstown - Christchurch...

Travel to Tarragona from Barcelona Airport (BCN) What's the easiest way to get from Barcelona Airport (BCN) to Tarragona? There is a shuttle bus but it's rather infrequent. RENFE shows very few trains too, making that connection even slower. Are there shared cabs in the area with a more flexible schedule? Ar...	would be to take a taxi at the airport to Barcelona Sants station and then take a train to Tarragona.
How can I do an online broad search for cruise trips? I like to travel in cruise ships, but for me it's usually hard to decide on an itinerary. I've never found a web site that allows me to compare cruise trips, so I have to search in many cruise companies ( Costa , MSC , Royal Caribbean ...) and compare their fares ...	The online portal vacations to go has a custom search which might suit your criteria.
How does one not get hassled for duties/taxes for items that aren't new but look new? I'm one of those who buys new things before a trip and I even get my dry-cleaning folded which the cleaners put in a plastic bag. Now thinking about it I wonder if it's only a matter of time before I'll be hassled. I was inspired to a...	For things like new clothes or other everyday items, there is not much you can do except explain to customs that you had them beforehand. Be prepared, have your documents ready, and don't have anything missing (eg train tickets, accommodation address and so on). Depending on your nationality, some countries allow you t...
Are American Express credit cards widely accepted in Japan, specifically, Osaka? I'm planning how I'll be bringing my money in my future Japan trip, and I was wondering if I could use a mix of cash and credit cards. Sadly, as of the moment, I only have an Amex credit card. Also, if I could, would you recommend it? (in...	Essentially, it was easiest to take some cash (As much as you're willing to have on your person), and then go to either a post office or 7-Eleven shops
What time is used on board a cruise ship? Supposing you are on a cruise ship crossing the Atlantic, what time is used on board the boat? During the trip you will cross many time zones, so it is not feasible to constantly change your watch every time you cross into a new time zone. But how do you convey to passengers ...

Can I travel to Romania with a Schengen visa issued by the embassy of The Netherlands and staying for a longer period in Romania than in Amsterdam?

Now according to the Romania embassy website , when applying for an E-Visa you will only be allowed entry into Romania if you are holding a multiple entry visa.
How can I check when I can (statistically) fly to given locations most cheaply? There are many sites where I can search for a particular flight with various date ranges and compare the prices. But, say, I want to go from Warsaw to New York, or London, or anywhere else (the location is just an example). But I have 100%...	You can use Google Flights to perform such a search.
Online hiking map for Alps Some time ago I've found a good online map for Alpine hiking trails. It was very similar to Google Maps and had green background.

The Website http://waymarkedtrails.org shows sign posted hiking trails.
Discounts for Universal Studios Japan when it's your birthday? I've heard this from my Japanese friend but I can't find any announcement or official ad regarding this discount. Can anyone confirm if this is true or not? <Q> While the English version of the USJ website doesn't note the special birthday pass, the Japa...	While the official site doesn't mention it (that I could find) and as @JoErNanO said, some sites show a sticker will get characters to wish you a happy birthday, I did find this reference on tripadvisor : small discount can be applied if someone in your party has a birthday in the month you visit, but you'll need to ge...
Can I walk out of Chicago Midway Airport (MDW)? Is it possible to walk out of MDW? The reason I ask is because you can only schedule an UberBlack or UberSUV to pick you up from MDW. However, if I can walk to one of these spots just outside the airport: Dunkin' Donuts 4612 W 59th St, CTA Chicago, IL 60629 Chill With...	A good option is to follow the signs to the CTA Station "Trains to City / Trains to Loop" (straight ahead as you exit the terminal, don't forget to go downstairs right after you exit the secure area to get your check luggage, if any).
How Safe are Train Rides in the U.S.? I've used the train in the U.K. with no problem, but I don't know what to expect in the U.S. How safe it is to travel via train in the U.S.?

What are the exact reasons why one cannot take a bottle of water on the plane? So what exactly are the reasons: policy by the airlines? slowing down security? What if it's 100mL of water filled in one of those tiny travel bottles that people use to downsize their toiletries? I was just discussing this topic wit...	As described by @jpatokal it is indeed possible to make explosives out of some liquids, and thus airlines used security as a reason to ban all liquids. If you ask them, it's to prevent terrorist attacks in the form of bombings.
Is tipping a flight attendant acceptable? This article is full of supposed "secrets" that most everyone knows about flying. But one thing it mentions is: 14. Tipping could go a long way. My girlfriend is a flight attendant. NO ONE tips flight attendants. If you give your FA a fiver with your first drink you’ll pro...	Tipping them would be considered offensive and an insult in most airlines anyway. I have never seen an FA even hesitate about accepting a tip.
How do eVisas increase tourism by 400%? Today I read in the news that eVisas have increased tourism for India by 400%. How do eVisas increase tourism so drastically?

Rio de Janeiro to Petropolis to Teresopolis back to Rio My wife and I are travelling to Brazil and have planned to spend several days in Rio, several in Petropolis, and several in Teresopolis.

New Brunswick doesn't have that big a population, it's possible they aren't particularly set up for rentals like that.

Can you mail yourself to another country? Any country? This idea comes from this BBC article .

Incentives to change flights Reading this question I found out how changes in seat capacity are handled, which made me quite curious what kind of incentives are typically offered to people who volunteer to take a different flight. <Q> In the US, I've experienced all the following cases: Upon check-in, an automated ...	Most of the time I have encountered this, the airline was offering travel vouchers, plus accommodations if they can't get you out the same day. I was offered a night in a hotel too, but as I live pretty close to the airport I didn't bother to take this.
Why would I choose full service carrier instead of a low-cost one? I just started flying recently and over the last two years I was on an airplane about once a month. All my trips were between European cities. I have been successfully using Ryanair, Wizz Air and Vueling with zero negative experiences. I've been conside...	Mostly people just pay a small premium for all the reasons detailed in other answers (convenience of non-stop flights and better airports, hopes of a better service in case of irregular operations, points for loyalty programs), especially if they are not paying for the tickets themselves.
Cheapest way to get from Tucson, AZ to Boulder, CO? I'm looking to get from from Tucson to Boulder in July this year. I've got no experience travelling in the US, so I'm not really sure where to start looking. Airfares look to be $320+. Amtrak doesn't seem to have trains that run north-south in the western US . Coache...	On Greyhound I can find one way tickets from Tucson to Denver for 99$. Driving is likely a bit more expensive if you don't already have a car.
What are possible reasons for this strange flight pattern? Recently, I was on a flight from Montreal to Vancouver. We were somewhere between Calgary and Vancouver when we started to fly strange manoeuvres: The whole flight can be seen on FlightAware .

Practical food to take on flight without anything served? It seems that my local airline had really cut down on feeding passengers lately. Last time they only had food for sale (despite flight booking mentioning a meal). And what little they had sold out immediately thanks to extra 3h sitting in the plane, waiting for ...	If you need more calorific intake, then you can consider cereal bars or energy bars . So I would say any fruit you can pack without risking transforming it into mush, and that doesn't require tools to peel or eat, is a good candidate: apples, pears, oranges, (bananas if you are careful), etc. Moreover, keep in mind the...
Guests at a motel My boyfriend and I are renting a room weekly at a local motel while we search for an apartment. My brother, who pays for the room, visits about once a day to check on us and make sure we don't need anything. The owner has yelled at us several times and told us we can't have visitors in our room. My br...	It seems to me it is up to the motel to allow strangers in the rooms or not. It could also depend on the local laws.

Airline staff can, will and in some cases must check that you have the right visas.
Best way to split costs during travelling With 3 people due to go travelling this summer, we're at a bit of a loss as to how to split our funds. We're going to be sharing tents, food, fuel, etc, so in theory everyone will pay equal. One option is to open a bank account, each put in our 1/3 share, and then use this to p...

Will my Chinese visa still be valid if I renew my passport? Will my Chinese visa still be valid if I renew my passport? If so how does that work?

Bicycle rental in Netherlands with drop-off in another city I'm planning a Bicycle trip in Netherlands for this April. I'm searching for bike rentals. I saw a lot of information on renting bikes, but I have two specific questions. It is easy to find a bike to travel medium distances (Like 50 ~ 70 Km)? Is is possible...	The only nationwide agency that allows renting a bicycle in one city and returning it in another is probably OV fiets , affiliated with the national railway company NS. Another option that you may consider is, depending on the nr of days you plan to cycle, to buy a second hand bike. Obviously you need to be physically ...

South African and EU dual citizenship travelling to the UK I am traveling to the UK using my dual citizenship. When leaving South Africa, I will be using my SA passport which will have an "exit" stamp on it. But once I arrive in England I will be using my EU passport which will then receive an "entry" stamp, but obvio...	Generally you're expected to use the same passport going in and out of a country, but switching like this is no problem. So basically, no, it won't be a problem.
How happily will taxis cross the triple-point borders around Basel? I am looking at travelling to Basel, Switzerland early next week (Tuesday). It would appear that hotels are very hard to come by at a reasonable price, so I am looking at staying in Mulhouse in nearby France. It seems that a taxi journey between there ...	I've taken taxis from the Basel EuroAirport (which is in France) from both the French side and the Swiss side of the airport to my home in Germany. I don't know about France, but many hotels in Switzerland and Germany include travel cards that provide you with free travel in a large area.
Where can I print a document in Vancouver? I'm traveling in Canada and currently I'm in Vancouver. I need to print a PDF file (5 times 4 pages) that is on my Laptop / USB stick.

How are validated underground tickets checked in Berlin? I have been travelling around Berlin the last few days. I have bought a ticket for the underground zones A and B every day but my ticket has not been checked once and there are no barriers (I'm from London where both are the norm). Can someone explain the underg...

Crossing roads in Berlin I am on holiday in Berlin and I have noticed that no pedestrians cross the road until the green man is on, I was wondering if there is some sort of jaywalking rule, also some of the vehicles go through a pedestrian crossing even when a green man is showing. <Q> Ok, JoErNanO explained the legal ...

After some more research over the internet I found out about a Hotel shuttle company through Trip Advisor , read the reviews and have booked their hotel shuttle service as the price was reasonable, looked safe based on the reviews and needed no paying ahead online and paying after I reach Cancun.
Can I live on an unoccupied island? Suppose that I am going to unoccupied island in Oceania, the Carribean, or somewhere else. Suppose I find an island where nobody is there, and nobody knows about it. If I invade it like a pirate (maybe alone or with friends)— and of course I am a rich guy, and have money to build a ...	If you find a completely unknown island, I suppose it will be yours, or at least you can claim it.

UK Entry Stamp - different from a visa?

So NO an entry stamp for a US citizen entering the UK is not a "visa".
Do I have to validate train tickets in the UK? I bought train tickets in the UK like this one: I always swipe them on the barriers 1 before boarding the train, but I never see anyone else doing it.

There is finally, finally a seaplane from Vancouver Coal Harbour to Seattle Lake Union (it started Apr 26, 2018). The down side is that you are subject to traffic jams at the border.
