How can I find the maximum permitted mileage (MPM) between two cities? Thanks for the great answer! Could you explain what the various columns of that ExpertFlyer display mean: GI, CUM, MPM,EMS, DED, LSAT, NEXT, 2SM? I guess TPM is the mileage for that segment, CUM is the cumulative total so far, and MPM is the maximum permitted from NYC to each intermediate destination? Does that mean that MPM is enforced for NYC-LON and NYC-SIN in addition to NYC-HKG? (Thus preventing you from circumventing MPM via hidden city ticketing?) |

How does the MileagePlus frequent flyer program work? If united.com is showing no standard awards available for a particular United flight, does that mean that the corresponding cabin is full, and there is almost no chance of an award becoming available later? |

Can you register for a “packstation” in Germany if you are traveling through Germany? One anecdote: I am a resident of Germany, but not a citizen. At the postal affiliate, they wouldn't even let me pick up my PackStation registration, because I couldn't present a citizen ID card. I assume this postal-affiliate employee must have been mistaken about the need for such a thing. Nonetheless, I wasn't able to get my PackStation account. |

Non-biological laundry detergent available in the US? Wikipedia says, "A biological detergent is a laundry detergent that contains enzymes harvested from micro-organisms such as bacteria adapted to live in hot springs. The description is commonly used in the United Kingdom...." As an American, I've never heard of this before. Either we don't have it, or we do and nobody pays attention. (-: "Biodegradable" means something completely different. |

What does “SSSS” on my boarding pass mean? ...because giving people advanced warning about whether they will be subject to a more comprehensive search or not is the way to increase security... It boggles the mind. |
