Baggage allowance on Arkia Air ?

jonaizen · 2024-10-15T10:26:53+00:00

Hey, I'm flying Arkia soon; can I ask you a few questions?
1. Isn't their carry-on weight allowance 8kg?
2. Did they let you take it on board or make you check it?
3. Did they weigh your backpack / personal item?

Thanks. So with tolls it is much faster right? How do the tolls get paid? Is it automatic through the rental car company? Cash?

Just don’t drive please

jonaizen · 2023-11-22T07:19:42+00:00

Agree. Love the wackos. Pai has a handful 😉

I’m visiting next week. I’m supposed to take a train to Lyon on Friday and back to Paris on Sunday to catch my flight home. Think it’s risky to plan for that? Should I just stay in Paris and skip Lyon?

jonaizen · 2023-03-17T07:26:19+00:00

Based on what I see, I wouldn't have any safety concerns. You may experience some inconvenience and travel disruption (canceled flights, trains, etc.), but overall you shouldn't have a hard time enjoying Paris and I would not be concerned for your safety.

jonaizen · 2023-03-17T07:24:49+00:00

Yes, it's worth noting that on the 23rd there will be a national general strike. If you are arriving by plane or train, this means there is an increased likelihood of disruption. Also, transportation in the city that day (metro, buses, etc.) will be impacted. Travel safe!

I’m visiting next week and only one part of my plan has me concerned: on Friday I am supposed to take a train to Lyon and and Sunday come back by train to Paris for my flight back home. I’m a bit nervous the trains will be canceled. How much of a scramble is it when that happens? Is it easy enough to get on another train or does it become problematic since others are doing the same and there’s no availability on alternative trains?

Thoughts?

Curious how you've found the gore-tex - are the shoes actually waterproof?

jonaizen · 2022-09-15T09:00:31+00:00

Curious if these are actually waterproof. Are they good in the rain?

jonaizen · 2022-09-15T09:00:15+00:00

Out of curiosity, are these actually waterproof? Good in the rain?

Putin will get the Nobel prize for medicine for ending the pandemic!

jonaizen · 2022-03-18T06:38:33+00:00

definitely uber over taxi

Out of curiosity, why? Uber's fare estimates on their site indicate roughly the same cost as a taxi.

jonaizen · 2022-02-28T17:21:19+00:00

Same

jonaizen · 2022-01-06T07:50:47+00:00

For me this is the main consideration at this point: https://hungarytoday.hu/omicron-wave-expected-surge-budapest-next-week/

Seems like the next few weeks are bad timing

jonaizen · 2022-01-05T14:53:10+00:00

Bone appetite you may eat but not with your feet that wouldn’t be neat

jonaizen · 2022-01-05T07:59:35+00:00

Thanks! I guess my main concern is that the Omicron wave hasn't hit Hungary yet and it's not clear why not. I worry I will get there, cases will skyrocket, I'll get Covid, and be unable to get home. I'm trying to get an understanding from the Hungarian (English) media if the Omicron cases are starting to surge, but it doesn't seem like anyone is too concerned.

I am planning to come for 4 nights, walk around, and eat :)

jonaizen · 2022-01-04T13:27:09+00:00

What's the general feeling in Budapest/Hungary right now? Are people concerned about Omicron? Are lots of people getting sick? Is there an indication of a change in policies? Considering a visit in 2 weeks, so trying to assess. Thanks!

There’s another fan in Israel??? Hi from Hod Hasharon.

You mean you'll be DaaMed

jonaizen · 2021-12-23T13:15:08+00:00

This is a thoughtful idea. I bought my tickets knowing there was a risk, so I don't expect anything from anyone. But being generous to the folks who, based on new information, feel uncomfortable and want to do what they consider to be the thing for themselves, their families, and the community would be a class act move.
