    Problems with Iberia and American Airlines (standby seats and lost luggage)

    Yes I see. By asking I was not so much inquiring of "how" but rather "if", basically assuring that your travel indeed encompasses 14 days of just sea travel. Wonderful idea and truly am glad that you can do this. Sadly I am still not in the position of being able to afford that much time on top...

    Problems with Iberia and American Airlines (standby seats and lost luggage)

    And? Did that insistent knowledge got them their luggage back in time to start the Camino "as intended" (i.e. today or tomorrow)? Most of us are not blessed with many extra days to wait for the lost luggage. Rather a fast run to nearest Decathlon and hope for the best especially footwear. After...

    Problems with Iberia and American Airlines (standby seats and lost luggage)

    @ShoshTrvls - mainly price difference and (convenient) flight availability. Of course if I need to fly domestically I stay at PHL and I can nicely get there from home on either Warminster line proper or ask someone to drop me off at Glenside. But, for comparison, here are my 2 overseas trips...

    Problems with Iberia and American Airlines (standby seats and lost luggage)

    I very much favor Aerobus when i come to El Pratt. Runs every 20 mins from T1 or T2 and will take you to Placa Espanya in 10 mins. short walk to L3 metro about 30 mins total Or You may jump on R2N from T2 (every 30 mins on the :08 &:38) fir a 20 mins ride Good luck and Buen Camino

    Problems with Iberia and American Airlines (standby seats and lost luggage)

    Well that you can. Maybe get some snacks ahead of time. Also may want to look into various airlines' lounges; perhaps one or some of them may be open through the night. Usually at @60.00 entry fee (and free food booze and soft drinks) it's a bargain over hotel

    Problems with Iberia and American Airlines (standby seats and lost luggage)

    Nope I mean you can hang out there but no flights are going out and most eateries close by 10pm or so

    Problems with Iberia and American Airlines (standby seats and lost luggage)

    Although it got considerably worse compared with pre-COVID I also favor UA over many other airlines. EWR is my fave Airport to go overseas since PHL(my home base) SUCKS BIG TIME and I totally abhor going to JFK!

    Problems with Iberia and American Airlines (standby seats and lost luggage)

    Totally agree. I check my bag because I check my poles. They are MY poles! They've been with me through many hikes including Machu Picchu. I like their grips and can adjust them within seconds. I don't need to buy a pair and then hope that at the very least they will not chafe my palms. And yes...

    And coming back the same way ?

    Problems with Iberia and American Airlines (standby seats and lost luggage)

    I had a similar situation once with AA where I paid for special selected seats and was resigned to some others at the last moment. Upon returning home I emailed AA and attached the receipts showing extra pay for those seats. My $$$ was returned within a week

    Phoenix - Paris new route

    Most likely not any different from many other airports. Can't vouch for last couple of months but never had any issues with CdG. As seems to be the trend of folks on this board - no check-in luggage (travel only with your backpack that fits into overhead bin) and at least 50% split on further...

    Phoenix - Paris new route

    Travelers looking to visit the City of Light from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport will soon have another flight option. Beginning May 23, Air France will start offering a new non-stop route from PHX to Charles de Gaulle Airport that will fly three times a week.

    A new departure for me, Barcelona.

    I strongly second that (although wish as I may I have not lived in Barcelona for even 1 year) Las Ramblas restaurants are big tourist traps.

    A new departure for me, Barcelona.

    Re getting to El Pratt there is a very comfy bus leaving from Plaza Catalunya takes about 30 mins and in 2021 was about 6 euro Would be very convenient as Plaza Catalunya is the beginning of La Ramblas wh8ch practically is Barri Gothic

    A new departure for me, Barcelona.

    Sans is the name of main train station in Barcelona Taking into consideration the usual " be vigilant " it is safe to walk streets in Barca. Life only starts there at 10pm :D

    All trains are full on Renfe (around May 3-7, 2024)

    Lee. sorry but I'm confused. you used a BlaBla car - as a 'bus' not a private transportation, correct? tooka train to Vigo then jumped on the BlahBlah bus and went to Chamartin where finally got onto the Metro to MAD all for €30 - is that all correct? Thanks

    Free Airport Shuttle from Booking.com, is it real?

    Well surely it must've been me and my impeccable luck....

    Free Airport Shuttle from Booking.com, is it real?

    Please see my post. I am not going to go as far as suggest that they are "involved with scam" but in my case they did NOT follow up on the promise. As per their request I sent them (numerous times) a copy of my confirmation - stating the address of the property and the screenprint (which I took...

    Free Airport Shuttle from Booking.com, is it real?

    I got burned on that last September I booked a place in Antibes through B.com which had the same shall I say enticement. I looked at the small print that stated I would get a free taxi from Nice airport I booked About 2 weeks before my departure I contacted B.com and inquired about particular...
