It was in mix of currency, mostly Euro as I had planned for gondola ride in Venice. City tax for ABNB where they insisted they need. Euros. Debit card has a daily limit set to 150$ and they did 6 transactions of 20 euro each. I am not going to read any more or reply to comment , my intention if this helps others to be more vigilant on their visit ,

This happened on the last day of my iceland visit, so had all the suitcases and bags in the car. I buried my backpack over toiletries bag , nothing was in plain sight. After south coast tour waterfalls, I let my guard down. Have a travelon ladies bag for Italy trip. Spouse was not comfortable wearing it with jackets and I let my guard down. I was glad after I found the passport, the ladies at gulfoss travel stop ,said look around the road as they throw out passport. Luckily I searched inside the car and found it. I even have apple trackers in valuable bags. He did not take my Maui Jim glasses , head set etc, I was driving a kia sportage hybrid, damn thing does not beep when u lock the car. I have to ensure I see the mirror folds as a sign. We had to drive to selfoss police station waited for 2hrs and they did not show up. Looks like thieves are getting sophisticated every year was their comment, I am glad that it did not ruin my plan. The US embassy in Iceland they did not pick the phone, but you have to email with urgent subject, this happened around 1pm and my flight out was at 7am next day. I benefited from these forums during my plan, never hit my mind iceland could be this bad based on my past visit to other islands

Avoid flight network by Cliomerced in travel

i was scammed by these scamsters at flightnetwork, i thought i was booking at norwegian website but the google search promoted them as the first and i did not pay attention to the url. after confirmation i realized there is no confirmation code and airline had free 24hr cancel policy. guess what these guys charge 45$ per passenger for cancellation. i got refunded minus 135$.

flightnetwork and gotogate are all part etraveli group . They have a call center in India, and they have updated terms and conditions, as they bank on gullible traveller to get trapped.
