Single vs. Multiple entry Schengen visa, for Spain and France? @jpatlokal: Even if you often run a very low risk being caught when violating visa conditions, the consequences if you are, are often very terse. In theory, Rowan could be controlled by immigration when entering Spain or France from Andorra and not only be immediately rejected without a valid visa, but also be flagged as "not wanted" in SIS. As a final consequence, he would be stuck in Andorra without any practical way to leave the country, since both neighbouring countries would reject further attempts to gain entry privileges. |

Minimising data costs (non-roaming) for travellers in the US and Canada? @Gagravarr: It depends highly on your local provider as well. Ιn the USA and Canada, I would with my German provider pay roughly 38 US$/MB for data roaming, so anything but ultra-light usage would probably force me to declare bankruptcy. |

Am I expected to tip wait staff in Europe? @Ben Parsons: In Germany, it is not very common for smaller establishments to accept credit cards. |

Am I expected to tip wait staff in Europe? Why is this answer at +20 points? IMHO, almost everything is wrong. There are great variations in tipping culture, not only between different European countries, but also depending on e.g. the cultural setting (low/high class establishment) or level of service (counter or table service). Tipping with cash or adding to a credit/debit card bill is probably also different between countries, since tax regulations or card service charges may impact how much the waiter actually gets from the tip. |

What's with Canada's airport codes? @jwenting: We are talking about ICAO airport codes here (ICAO have different codes for other purposes). ICAO airport codes for Chile start with SC. |

What's with Canada's airport codes? @jwenting: Still wrong. All ICAO airport codes starting with C are allocated for Canada, so they could use codes CAAA to CXZZ as well. |

What's with Canada's airport codes? @jwenting: There are other IATA airport codes for Canadian airports as well, e.g. AKV, CJH and DUQ, just to list a few. The IATA country code for Canada is ca. |

What's with Canada's airport codes? @littleadv: What "this" did you address? I did not claim anything about the organizations themselves, but about the airport codes. Both IATA and ICAO are more or less direct successors of previous organizations and it is not unlikely that the both code systems originate from before 1945/1947. |

US and Canada Border Crossing and Computer Privacy: What do I need to know? I am not familiar with the details in US law, but most countries regulate specific situations, in which constitutional rights must be waived, common travel-related situations being border crossings and airport security checks. The legal understanding in the US is probably, that crossing the US border by any person implies that the person consent to a search. Denying a customs officer to search the content of a computer is IMHO similar to not unlocking a brought suit case. In both cases I would expect that the officer can seize the container (laptop or suit case) and/or penalize the person. |

Amount of stamps for sending postcards from India @mithy: There are only a few European countries issuing so called non-denominated stamps where the stamps do not have an exact monetary value, but are valid for a specific service. |

Amount of stamps for sending postcards from India Probably one. Since stamps are usually denominated corresponding to the price of most common postal services, you usually only need one stamp. If you actually meant to ask if there is a generic resource for different postal rates, I doubt that you will find one. Postal entities operate with enormous variations in theirs products and different class of services and in some countries there are several competing entities, making a comparison very difficult. |

What's with Canada's airport codes? Honestly, I don't think that this was a very good answer. Since the majority of Canadian IATA airports codes start with Y (more than 80% and not only new ones), there is likely a reason for it and not just that they had to take some arbitrary, free code. Several references on the net indicate that the ICAO codes precedes the IATA codes. |

Would visiting North Korea as a tourist cause problems travelling anywhere else? @jwenting: Are you sure? Except for US citizens, it is allegedly not particularly difficult to get a tourist visa for North Korea. |

Cebu Pacific Air flight cancellation/modification fees @SERPRO: The pages were accessible yesterday, but gone now. Perhaps Cebu Pacific's legal department is reading here and found their own legal mumble jumble too harsh. After reading that they reserve themselves the right to change both time, day, origin and destination of your flight after booking and still consider their part of the deal as fulfilled, I honestly don't understand why you took the risk to book a group itinerary with such conditions. |

Cebu Pacific Air flight cancellation/modification fees @SERPRO: Have you read and understood Cebu Pacific's "Travel Regulations" and "General Terms and Conditions"? You probably accepted them when ordering the tickets. Granted that IANAL and the texts are non-ambiguous, but they seem to answer many of your questions. |
