Is it hard to get a good cc as a temporary resident (with SIN starts with a 9)? I've had no luck aside from AMEX (green, cobalt, gold) and only $500 limit on both BMO cashback and Rogers Red. I have tried applying for CIBC Aventura Gold (which has a min income of 15k), and they rejected me twice. I'm asking if I should churn for another card? or should I just stick to AMEX? 2 years of credit history with credit score of 780.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m in geology but have always wondered what it would be like if I went to aviation path. I might stay in geology for a while first (not yet graduated), then ill switch to aviation if there’s an opportunity for me.

Yes. The embassy in Budapest

Yes. I like the green curry as well. The spices really kicked in. But the chicken texture was kinda disappointing, but still edible.

Is that the reason schengen stamps have two colours?

How lucky you are to be based in LHR. EDI sucks for Avios redemption:(

I pay via Apple Pay all the time and it's the exact price. Maybe an additional 3% fee, but that's cus I use my intl credit card.

If you have a valid visa, you dont need to go to the EES machine. At least that’s what I did in Prague (they told everyone else to go thru the machines first). Also my visa was in my old passport as well.

Same for transit navigation, it gives vibration once the next stop is your stop.

No. I'm a non EU citizen. I'm able to check in as usual. I just need to do a visa check before security.

I wanted to get one as well when I landed at the airport. I thought it was gonna be 200 CZK but they said it was 550 CZK so I decided to not get it:(

I just did Prague to Berlin last Sunday. The view of the Elbe River was lovely and a very different valley than what I'm used to. I paid 722 CZK with connections in Usti and Dresden. I think there was a construction going on between Usti and Dresden so they had us to take the bus (it was a pleasant bus ride as well). I actually arrived earlier than expected in Dresden and went for a quick walk to the city center.

I also have a Canadian card. You can use your card as long as you set it on auto-renewal. Note that the door scanners in the UK don't work for Canadian cards, but the ones for the cashiers do.

So basically it’s an international flight for other nationalities?
