Row 60 on Lufthansa Airbus A380-800 I have a 10+ hours trip in an Airbus A380-800, and I noticed the seat 60A was available at check-in time. The layout of the plane looks like this: I took this seat, based on the natural idea that it provides extra legroom. However, I've searched over the internet (e.g. here , h...	Assuming that the image represents the flight in question I would not choose this seat for extra legroom, the reason being that there is a wall directly in front of your seat.

I don't think you can buy bus tickets in advance as they are generic ride tickets (with time limit if I remember correctly) without assigned seat.
Do celebrities require work visas for every country they visit? By celebrity, I mean maybe a famous singer. If they are doing a world tour, they are doing "work" in many countries around the world.

Why can't airline tickets be booked far into the future? Why it is not possible to book airline tickets more than 12 months in advance? Why there is always 1 year and not 2 years or more? Is there any technical aspect behind this policy? <Q> It's less of a technical constraint and more of a practical one. <S> The ser...	The issue is that it doesn't make much sense from a scheduling standpoint. The airline can't commit to never, ever dropping or changing a flight.
Wrong salutation (Ms instead of Mr) in international air ticket My son's Kuwait Airways ticket from India to Italy has the wrong title: 'Ms' instead of 'Mr'. Contacting the airline, they have included a remark in their system to read 'Ms' as 'Mr'. However, as the ticket/boarding pass will still mention 'Ms', will this ...	When I arrived at the airport, nobody even remotely bothered to check the title/salutation.
Check in to conflicting flights I found myself in an interesting puzzle. Here is the simplified version: I have a flight from A to C, connecting through B. I decide that from B I actually want to go to D, so I buy a separate ticket for that journey*. The B-C and B-D flights are around the same time and with the same a...

From my experience - you will not make it since you will have to go through additional security again and passport control for your international flight.
Flight With KLM to Santiago with a stop in Buenos Aires I have a flight with KLM from Amsterdam to Santiago, Chile with a stop in Buenos Aires. I am wondering how this stop affects me.

Why are airfares getting cheaper or at least we have stable airfares for the last 10 years? In the last ten years I have seen at least stabilty in airfares.

Can a twenty-year-old bring to the USA alcohol purchased legally in Spain? I overheard a friend asking another friend whether she, being of legal age here in Spain, would have any trouble taking wine purchased here back to the USA where she is not allowed to buy it.

Why would an aircraft take off earlier than the planned departure time? It happened to me just one time, I don't know how common it is. I wonder why it can happen. I was hanging at duty-free shops before a flight from Germany to Turkey. I heard the last call announcement 40 minutes before the departure time and my n...	If it's near the end of a month in which there have been a lot of weather delays, the airline company may be in a situation that there is no one remaining to call in and their next choice is cancelling flights because they can't legally start them. This is rare, but possible. The departure time is an estimated time, bu...
Dual US-Swiss citizen with family emergency and expired US passport I need to travel to the US ASAP, to visit for family matters.

How do I convey that I'm ready to pay my tab in Greece? I'm 15 days into a 30-day trip all across Greece (Athens, northern mainland, islands).

Getting a package from the US while travelling through South Europe I have to send a package from the US to someone travelling along the European Mediterranean coast.

My question is, when going through Immigration and Customs at our destination, do we go through together as a 'single family' or is it o...	I can't see any problem with going separately: both of us had a form with address of hotel we planned to stay (actually, it was Airbnb apartment), passport and a ticket.
