Lost passport at Heathrow while in transit from USA to India Did they try asking at the UK Border? They might be able to get an emergency one day transit visa to get to the embassy. Otherwise, phoning the embassy seems like the best bet, it can't be the first time it has happened! |

Which train routes are permitted when going from Great Britain to other parts of the UK? Have you tried asking ATOC? They maintain the routing guide, and ought to be able to give you an authoritative answer |

How do I minimize cash advance fees when withdrawing from a foreign ATM? A bit of a difference, yes! But not all that surprising... Taking money out on a credit card is rarely a sensible idea, except in certain special cases (eg cards which explicitly have very low fees, a card you've put into a positive balance etc) |

What is the best value way to travel by rail from Southend airport to ExCel in London and then to Gatwick? Do you just want to do Airport -> ExCel, then ExCel -> Gatwick? Or will you want to stop off in central London later in the day for sightseeing or dinner? |

Codeshares - Can I expect the same service when buying from different airline? It might make a difference in terms of what frequent traveller programs you can credit your flight to, and how many miles you earn |

Which train routes are permitted when going from Great Britain to other parts of the UK? Don't you just need to work out which ferry you're allowed to use, then look up the routing guide as if you had a ticket to that ferry port? |

Is it possible to pay for a British Airways flight in sterling? Did you try checking with a travel agent? Most will change the same price as BA directly, but will be able to bill you in alternate currencies |

Connecting flight wait time 11 hours 20 minutes I would suggest that "What to do in Vancouver in 6 hours" is a different question (and one we may already have some answers for!) |

Are there any last-minute cheap Spain-domestic flights? Wouldn't a train or a bus likely be cheaper? Or shouldn't you at least be checking those too! |

Car rental - Why is “Pay Now” more expensive? Where are you renting, and how long for? Anything unusual, such as age / driving offences / number of drivers / one-way / type of car / etc? |

What “undocumented” benefits are there to being an “elite” frequent flyer? I think the problem with this question is that it will vary a lot between programs, between your level within that program, and changes over time. |

Where to take photo for Schengen Visa? Did you try going to a professional photographer? Or a high-end camera shop? I've had luck with getting unusual sized photos from both in the past (but in the UK not the US, so it might be different). Generally they've been very reasonably priced |

Hiking near Barcelona - or alternative hiking cities close-by? There are a lot of small towns in the hills north of Barcelona. I had a very nice trip to Banyoles a few years ago, for rowing rather than hiking, but it was cheap + friendly + apparently lots of walking about. Also fairly easy to get to from Barcelona on the bus. I'd suggest you look for places similar to that! |

Two passport of the same person in India Lots of countries are happy for your to have two passports, so it isn't automatically a problem. Only a few object, you just need to work out if India or the USA are ones of those |

Rent a car in United States (Las Vegas) paying cash I've never tried it, but I've been stuck in line behind people who have. It's never quick, it always seems to involve handing over a huge pile of cash (think $1000+ - normally more than the credit card hold would be), and I've seen people turned away because that rental company didn't offer it. I can't tell you which in Las Vegas will do it though |
