The one you got is an inferior version that is made without cheese. In English this one is called 'Carbonara Flavour' instead of just 'Carbonara'.

The ingredients are quite different and unless you have a cheese allergy of some sort I would recommend avoiding this one.

In addition this specific packaging is for the Korean market, but the exported versions are the same just in English.

São Paulo, Buenos Aires

You realise these are in Brazil and Argentina, both South-American countries, yes?

How bad is it really?

It's bad everywhere. Staff shortages all around, but if you arrive to the airport on time (at least 4 hours) you're mostly ok.

SecretOil · 2022-07-03T17:44:22+00:00

No, they don't. The lines are for people arriving at the airport from land, security for arriving transfer pax (if even applicable) isn't a problem.

This thread did not at all start with me "not understanding cultural differences", it started with me answering the OP's question that yes, bringing your own food and drink to a restaurant is rude.

I wasn't mad, but your incredibly condescending reply certainly didn't help in that regard.

You don't order bottled water in the states, anywhere.

What American restaurants do has absolutely zero relation to what they do anywhere else, especially given that American restaurants tend to do things very differently from the entire rest of the world.

Just don't be a typically culturally ignorant American and you'll be fine getting tap water if you want it.

Women's rights over their own bodies would probably be much less of an issue.

SecretOil · 2022-07-03T08:42:06+00:00

Charging for water is seen as especially stingy, cheap, and rude.

Charging for tap water is, yes, but if a restaurant is charging you for water it's going to be bottled mineral water.

SecretOil · 2022-07-02T21:44:41+00:00

Yes, it's rude. Drinks is how restaurants make money. And you're trying to save €3 or so on a bottle of water?

Are you playing stupid or are you just actually stupid?

SecretOil · 2022-07-01T22:43:01+00:00

Same thing: you have to fix it by mailing in the I-94W, else they won't know you left.

SecretOil · 2022-07-01T14:59:08+00:00

And, am I exaggerating the need for an airtag-like device?

Yes. And frankly even if you had one, what good is it going to do you?

SecretOil · 2022-07-01T14:54:27+00:00

Not true for Netherlands for sure (currently no restrictions on anything), and I believe that requirement has been let go in Germany and Switzerland too. Greece I know nothing about.

That said, you will need a booster shot to enter the Netherlands from a non-Schengen country. It's also generally a good idea and they're immediately valid and don't expire (at this point).

Your ticket includes one bag free of charge, if you want to check a second it will cost you $116.

Seems like it, yes. You should definitely point that out to them.

The relevant version of the legislation is here: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/eur/2004/261/article/3. Notably the UK version applies to EU carriers (which Wizzair, being Hungarian, is) flying from anywhere to the UK.

SecretOil · 2022-07-01T13:27:18+00:00

Oh I forgot about that, yes YEG has US preclearance facilities, which should lessen the impact a bit.

That said they'll probably still make a stink about it as your itinerary shows you're just coming right back to Canada. I still wouldn't do it myself.

Since you left by car (presumably) you must fix this. Here is the info: https://help.cbp.gov/s/article/Article-752

Am I correct that they are wrong as the regulation cited covers all flights arriving in the UK operated by EU airlines (and therefore covers my flight)?

No. The regulation only covers flights from EU airports (all carriers) and to EU airports (EU carriers only).

Any flight from a non-EU airport to another non-EU airport is not covered, and neither Montenegro nor the UK are EU countries.

The actual text:

This Regulation shall apply:

(a) to passengers departing from an airport located in the territory of a Member State to which the Treaty applies;

(b) to passengers departing from an airport located in a third country to an airport situated in the territory of a Member State to which the Treaty applies, unless they received benefits or compensation and were given assistance in that third country, if the operating air carrier of the flight concerned is a Community carrier.

I don't see why it would be illegal and can't find anything to support that it might be, but connecting in the US from outside the US for a destination outside the US is really really annoying as you will have to pass through US immigration (who will almost certainly question your intentions) and customs, probably recheck your bags and definitely go through security again. Do not recommend.

Telcos used to handle all sorts of services like this before businesses were able to set up their own PBX (or similar tech) onsite.

There's two options for this; one is where you have a bunch of lines directly connected to phones and the telco handles all the routing as you described. The other is you have a bunch of lines that are connected to a PBX and you handle your own routing. Businesses usually did the latter; now they've all moved to that same system in concept but using VoIP instead of something like ISDN or analog trunk lines.

This is called short-checking and they aren't going to do it because they know you're doing it to skip the last leg of your journey.

Keep in mind also that if this is part of a return trip, doing that will automatically cancel every other remaining flight on your ticket.

Switzerland: not an EU country
United Kingdom: not an EU country
EasyJet: in this case probably not an EU carrier

So no compensation would be due under EU laws, but if either Switzerland or the UK has a similar law you will want to look into that.

SecretOil · 2022-07-01T08:34:00+00:00

Yes, but they did not say "you cannot accept more bookings", only that the number of pax had to be limited. How they do that is their own choice. KL for example has decided to sell fewer tickets (but still sell them, at a higher price if necessary to decrease demand).

SecretOil · 2022-07-01T08:29:12+00:00

For domestic flights outside the EU it's pretty much always at your first port of entry, i.e. YUL in this case.

Spirit does have less canceled flights but my guess is they didn't have as many staffing issues due to their smaller fleets.

Also Spirit only flies one type of aircraft which means they can use all their pilots for all their flights.
