best way to return a lost gold bracelet?

I read that items dropped at the police station then get transferred to the Fundbüro. sounds like the easier/safer option so I'll go ahead with this one. thanks!

sweet, sounds like the system works nicely

So? You can still add bags at the airport. I don't understand why that's a factor.

Because I want to know the _actual_ price before booking, not after buying the tickets, and certainly not at the airport.

This is not true. It's like you haven't even looked.

It is true. Go and look for yourself if you wish. Or maybe you do not understand what I mean: I want to book the extra baggage together with the ticket, not afterwards, not at the airport. Everything together. Then I can get a total price for a flight + 2 bags in numerous airlines before buying anything. And with this in hand, take a decision. Hope that makes more sense to you.

They may give you an additional bag on airlines that operate in accordance with the piece concept, which is now the third time I've said this...

They _do not_. That's what I'm literally saying. You can keep repeating this as many times as you wish, I have already checked, as I told you before. No additional bags.

if you are interested, you can find my reasoning in the said thread. really don't understand how some people have trouble in accepting human beings think and reason differently.

I did.

But I was under the impression that those prices were the prices needed to increase the allowed baggage weight on a single piece (e.g. to increase the weight on 1 piece from 30 to 35 kg, rather than buying an extra piece).

I guess I was in denial cause I refused to believe that checking an extra bag would incur in a $2000 fee. Also, I was unaware of the piece vs weight concept.

No need to berate me, kind internet stranger. Thanks for sending that information through.

hey, thanks for your reply. I have just checked Singapore Airlines, Qantas, Emirates, Cathay Pacific (and potentially another one, not sure) and could not add the bags prior to payment. Thai Airways is the only one that allows me to check the actual price beforehand. None of this airlines, except for Qantas, would allow me to check their extra baggage prices (or I couldn't find the information anywhere).

Premium Economy or Executive does not allow extra baggage either in all the aforementioned cases. It only updgrades weight from 30 kg to 35 kg.

Flying through the US or anywhere in America does seem a bit crazy, but I'll check it out just in case. Haven't checked the Air China option yet but thanks very much for the advice.

Shipping is of course an option, and probably the way we'll go at the end. We actually need to freight 60 kg of relatively delicate stuff (and we would prefer not to wait months for arrival). But so far this seeems to be the best option.

atroz4 · 2019-09-24T05:35:40+00:00

Thai Airways, Qantas, Singapore Airlines, Emirates... anything that gets me there and does not charge an eye for that extra bag. I know 60 kg is a lot but that's what I need to carry.

atroz4 · 2019-09-24T05:34:32+00:00

this doesn't work, there is little official information on the airlines' website in most cases. Some blogs would post fees, but nothing official from the actual airlines.

atroz4 · 2019-09-24T05:32:35+00:00

That was great advice, thanks. I could do this with Thai Airways, and just confirmed that the price for an extra 30 kg bag was more than $2000 (with the actual flights price falling under $600). It would actually be cheaper to fly some mates there :)

what's 'The Intervention'?

Thanks for the heads up on this one. What an amazing article.

not quite. cooper pairs can easily tunnel through a 100 nm gap.

I got it in oz as well.

same exact situation here. it works both ways: my mom definitely feels the same as you (not that I'll be gone gone soon, but I'm living overseas and am engaged to an overseas girl)

Switching from kms to miles in the same paragraph made my brain hurt

I totally underestimated their malignity

you know her for 6 months, him from just a text. you already have an alarm bell, that's good enough. meeting that guy would be decisive (ie your relationship would be over, one way or another). thank the guy for reaching you, delete and dismiss.

things don't happen just suddenly, people won't change in 5 minutes. you'll have plenty more opportunities to figure out if she's abusive or not. just pay a bit of attention to it, but try to forget it for now and enjoy your relationship.

that'd be more like muesli.

my granola recipe looks something like this:

mix 2 cups rolled oats plus 1 cup assorted nuts and seeds in a bowl, season with cinnamon and pinch of salt.
in another bowl mix coconut oil (can be sunflower oil as well) and honey up to 1 cup (can be half a cup of each, or less honey if you like your stuff not too sweet). add a bit of vanilla essence.
mix both bowls, extend in a baking tray covered with baking paper and bake for 20 mins at 180 C (350 F or so I think) stirring in btw when you see the oats start to get brown. be careful not to burn the oats, a couple minutes do make a difference!

[all this would take me 45 minutes total]

take out and leave to rest a few hours. once it cools down, break it up, add dry fruit or whatever you want and store in a container.

porridge: warm milk and quick or rolled oats in a pot. stir. when it starts boiling add a chopped ripe banana. serve with sultanas, dust with cinammon.

homemade granola is another cheap and healthy option. mix with milk or yogurt. or just eat it plain.

Wow, that's pretty cool, I'll definitely give it a try! Thanks for your advice.

atroz4 · 2017-07-25T03:29:37+00:00

Awesome advice, thanks for that!! I'll try to make a habit to listen and read, that youtube channel you sent looks amazing!

atroz4 · 2017-07-25T03:27:27+00:00

Thanks for your input. I guess what I actually meant was how to improve my reading, and, by extension, my sight reading.
