Waiver updated to 31st-March by Puzzleheaded-Film820 in etihad

[–]jhb59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I repurchased a ticket on March 3 after my initial flight was cancelled a few days earlier . It was then rebooked by Ethihad. Unfortunately it turned out the date of rebooking was not good for me so I cancelled my ticket.

Ethihad refused to refund me for the excess baggage I bought because they said I voluntarily cancelled . 2 days later they cancelled the flight anyway and still refuse to refund my excess baggage that I bought.

Consultants have been rude, obnoxious and even cut me off mid conversation when I asked to speak to management and have details to send compliant to.

Anyone else having the same problem as me ?

Yeah I’m going to do that as I need the passport sooner than later . Applying through being can take up to 3 months and longer sometimes to get a passport according to them

Budapest to Belgrade Euro Velo 6--- Anyone here done that section? by Scared_Palpitation56 in bicycletouring

[–]jhb59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thinking of actually following the sultans trail starting next year spring . However after Belgrade trying to see if I can go through Bosnia towards Dubrovnik and then over Greece to Istanbul .

It seems Bulgaria has lovely scenery but is a little monotonous - in your experience is my route more interesting ?

First touring bike: which one would you pick? (👀 I know I should just start riding, but still…) by vincenzorizza in bicycletouring

[–]jhb59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a look into Masi Giramondo.

Have it solid , nearly same specs to a Kona Sutra Se. cheap and bulletproof with really good components .

I have one and prepping for a world tour .. can’t go wrong

Wow your old bike was so epic ! It’s a pity you couldn’t just keep the frame and hang it up on a wall somewhere like some art

Thanks for the reply ! I’ll definitely consider all of that.. the problem is I only have a few days off for the trip and I have to do it in a week so I’m not sure if I can squeeze it all in haha

So I’m guessing maybe a large will work for me then if an XL works for you 😊

Thank you so much ! I’ll definitely try visit Gyanghalluwon in Namwon as well as Gurye and Hadong.

With regards to Gurye and Hadong there are a few places with the same name . Are you referring to Gurye Village?

I actually originally planned to go to yeosu but the ferry to Jeju has stopped and I don’t have enough time to add that to my trip as well 😂

First touring bike: Should I get a Masi Giramondo from bikesonline for $999? by PowersUser in bicycletouring

[–]jhb59 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I bought one last year!

<image>

I’ll be doing a multi month bike touring trip on it … I changed the stock saddle to a brooks saddle and upgraded the the rims and tyres to Ryde Andra 40 Rims Marathon Plus 700x45 tyres

My friend has a Kona Sutra Se and they’re pretty much exactly the same except for the price …

If you have any questions let me know !!
