    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD October Porto flight cancelled

    UPDATE: Now they have also cut off the Toronto to Frankfurt portion of our flights (21 June). Maybe now I can get a refund? The saga continues! Lol! :)

    Either way it appears a refund is due, no?

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD October Porto flight cancelled

    This is part of what I received from as a response to my complaint to USDOT about Air Canada changing my flight to land in Frankfurt, Germany instead of Porto, Portugal and not allowing a refund. "A passenger is entitled to a refund if an airline cancels a flight and the passenger chooses not...

    The Corfu Trail

    I highly recommend the book My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell. It is set in Corfu and describes a lot of the flora and fauna of the island. The book is also laugh out loud funny. Recommended not only for those of you interested in Corfu, but also just a great book for anyone looking...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD October Porto flight cancelled

    Thanks @davebogg This gives me a little more hope. I think my strategy now is just to wait until the flight is cancelled in total, which I think it will be, and then, I assume I will be more likely to get a refund. We will see.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD October Porto flight cancelled

    My plan right now is to try to file a complaint with DOT and also my credit card company to see if that might help with a refund.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD October Porto flight cancelled

    I had a flight scheduled 21 June Chicago-Toronto-Porto and it was changed to arrive in Frankfurt instead of Porto. Air Canada is saying since it was a schedule change so far in advance that they will not refund my money. This is not just a schedule change but a LOCATION change 2,000 km away from...

    Camino Portugues - most scenic route with less road walking?

    I just discovered that there are a few other threads on the forum about this crossover also with maps where I now see Arcos. Thanks everyone!

    Camino Portugues - most scenic route with less road walking?

    Hi Trecile, About how far is the walk from Vila do Conde to the Central route? How is it marked exactly and what is the road/path like? You mentioned Arcos, but I don't see that town on the map I am looking at. I am planning to walk this June and trying to decide where to join the Central...

    Switching From Senda Litoral to Central Route

    Hi Albertinho, Would you please share details for this bus option? I was looking for a bus to Braga from Viana do Castelo and I find one that goes to Nine and then another bus to Braga. Do you know of one direct to Braga? (I think I might like to go there fist and then continue walking from...

    Trailrunners

    Also my Altra Timps felt like slippers by week three on the CF. I felt every stone. I will never buy a shoe without a rock plate again.

    Trailrunners

    I am always surprised about recommendations for Brooks Cascadias. The collar/ opening of my daughter's started to open up and disintegrate by day 5 on the CF.

    Where can I buy these sheets?

    Yes! Thank you so much @Anniesantiago ! This did not come up as a result from a US based Amazon or other internet search for me. Thanks again!

    Where can I buy these sheets?

    Last summer on the CF there was a family of 4 who all had light weight sheet type liners that also had a pillow pocket. They were sewn on one side so they would open all the way on the other. I brought a mummy type liner that I found frustrating because often i just wanted to lay on top of it...

    Walking with daughter and niece both 15. Too young????

    Oh! I almost forgot about brother and sister teens who we walking with their mom. We were in a couple albergues with them. They did not seem to be enjoying themselves as the girl was on her (speaker) phone with a friend a lot. They also argued with their mom about plans. Not suggesting that your...

    Walking with daughter and niece both 15. Too young????

    We stayed in albergues and just a couple privates. Never any issues in albergues. In fact after a private room in Burgos my daughter felt like it was a nice break to have real towels and a big bed but she also missed being in an albergue with others.

    Walking with daughter and niece both 15. Too young????

    Last summer we walked with a 9 year old Irish boy (his 3rd camino) and his dad and also a teenaged Danish girl and her Dad. As I'm sure you know, there seem to be so many people early 20s that your daughter and niece will most likely get on with. My daughter is tall and mature so most people...
