Can I use a power adapter designed for USA in Japan? What devices are you going to plug into it? |

Am I expected to tip wait staff in Europe? @OlegV.Volkov In the US, people in jobs that normally get tips are often paid less than minimum wage, since it's assumed that the tips will make up for it. They also have to pay income tax on the amount of tips they're expected to get (and if they say they didn't get tipped as much the IRS will probably assume they're lying) |

Am I expected to tip wait staff in Europe? "you'll often find that there's a cover charge ("coperto"), so no tip is needed." - this may be true, but it can't be inferred from this alone. You're still supposed to tip for pizza delivery in the US despite the presence of a delivery charge - and the delivery charge doesn't actually go to the delivery person. |

Do you have to take the second leg of a flight? @victoriah And the first leg of ACB and the direct flight AC both contribute to demand for the same product, just as the burger-and-fries meal contributes to demand for the burger. |

Do you have to take the second leg of a flight? @victoriah They are not selling you a ticket for AB, they are selling you two tickets, for AC+CB. It is unreasonable for them to expect to be able to price this combination lower than one of its parts. If they want to price AB lower, then they should run it as a direct flight, or have a hub airport out in the middle of nowhere. It would be like McDonalds charging less for a combo meal than for a Big Mac alone, and suing you for not eating your fries because it violate the Terms of Meal contract. |

Do you have to take the second leg of a flight? @victoriah how could this possibly cause them to lose money, under any pricing structure which is not unethical for the airline to have in the first place? |
