    Ryanair Carry-On Dilemma: Need Your Advice!

    Agreed! There was a reason someone created the website ryanairisevil.com soon after the airline started.

    Checking your backpack on flights

    Many many years ago I heard a travel expert say There are two kinds of luggage: "Carry-on and lost." I only carry on my pack and my 'one personal item,' which is just a small bag for a book, snacks (AKA, chocolate), pen, foldable water bottle, toothbrush/paste, kleenex, a couple of hand-wipes...

    Issues entering Spain?

    To add to the mix, I saw this is an email from a travel insurance company: 4. You’ll need a visa waiver to travel to 26 European countries. Thinking about traveling to Europe in 2023? Beginning in November, American travelers will need to apply for a visa waiver before visiting any of the 26...

    Travel Health Insurance?

    Do you mean that you don't worry about the cost of a plane ticket or are you talking about the cost something like a tour?

    Travel Health Insurance?

    Well you are clever! I am too linear a thinker to have come up with that one! Do all such insurances give one the option not to cover such costs?

    Camino Cities

    My question: If this was started back in March, how am I just seeing this thread now??!:oops: My Zaragoza story (bear with me): Many years ago I was walking the Arles route in March just before Easter. As I approached the foothills of the Pyrenees, it began to rain. And it rained and rained and...

    Passport warning — expiration date

    Since 9/11, all this kind of thing is increasingly complicated. And often illogical. I do know that when I had to renew my passport in February (6 months before expiration), the website said it most likely would take 3 months for me to get my new one. I remember thinking if had I known that, I...

    Passport warning — expiration date

    I can see why you are crushed. You searched and searched for the right flight, and then poof! it didn't work out. I am glad the airline refunded your money without penalty. Not sure where you live, but everything now says countries don't want your passport to expire less than 6 months from your...

    Train from Madrid to Sarria

    I wish I knew! I just kept fiddling round with the website so not sure what I did. I do know however that there is more below what appears on my laptop screen. One thing I recall is after I put in the start point and the arrival location, I had to click again in the destination box for the rest...

    Helpful. Thanks. Also some info on seat61. Not sure where the rail/metro station is at the airport but it must be sign posted.

    Train from Madrid to Sarria

    Patience is right! I have tried for months to use Renfe to get a ticket from Madrid to Ponferrada, and it kept saying the schedule wasn't up yet. This was even within the 3 months. I tried something else someone suggested and finally a schedule appeared. Now I am trying to figure out airport to...

    Some trains free in Spain in September

    Ummm you are saying on renfe.com you can see train schedules from mad to ponferrada????????????? What am I doing wrong?????????? Back to the laptop! As to the multi-trip cards, I thought I read that they could be used if one was going to do some day trips after the pilgrimage is finished. Did...

    Some trains free in Spain in September

    Thanks, Tintin (if you don't mind me calling you that!), for this info. I wondered if there was a trick to connect from one place to another and on to Ponferrada. I have come across websites over the years that just say there is no train but they don't explain go from A to B to C to get where...

    Some trains free in Spain in September

    Maybe it is my dyslexia, but I am having trouble figuring out this set up, which is to say I arrive in MAD at the beginning of Sept and that afternoon want to get to Ponferrada. I have been checking Renfe and Omio on and off the last couple of months but they don't seem to have a schedule yet...
