Travel (General) - December 2006

I'm going on a trip to N.J. to fish the coast. I have a lucky knife that I take EVERYWHERE I go. My best friend left it to me in his will after dieing in a boating accident. I would feel terrible if I had to leave it behind. A relative of mine in school for a commercial Pilot's License told me that I can bring it as long as I put it in my Luggage that goes beneath the plane(As apposed to carry on). What are the regulations on bringing it along with me on a commercial aircraft. Anyone know any websites that could help?

Seriously, this is ridiculous. If you take up the space of two people, you should have to pay the space of two people.

I am flying out of Logan airport in Boston tomorrow and I realize it will be wicked busy. So, I wanted to go to the airport tonight and do the bag and security thing before it got crazy. My plane leaves midday so I would chill at the airport overnight. Is it possible to check the bags the day before?

Hi everyone!
I've always wanted to travel to Amsterdam. Does anyone have any ideas as to where I can stay, stuff to see, etc...on a budget? Also, I am single, so I need places that would be safe for a traveller on her own.
Thanks!

My international flight checked baggage allowance is 2 bags, 32kgs each. So, if one of my bags weighs more (say about 35-36kgs) and the other is less than 10kgs, will the airlines people make a fuss (or charge extra baggage) for the heavier one ? Wont they just consider the total of both to be within the limit and let it go ?

When we buy duty free liquor bottles, do they have to fit in the hand baggage or can they be carried outside the hand-baggage (if they dont fit in !!!!) ?

The bags come in different sizes from small purses to larger bags that can be used for clothes and what not. I believe the pattern is like paisley or whatever but they come in different colors and patterns too. I saw them at Boscovs and checked their website but couldnt find what I was looking for. I think the name of the bags are two words but I cant think of them. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

Do you know that the United States has a visa Waiver Program for 27 countries (including the United Kingdom)? Citizens of these countries may visit the U.S for 90 days or less without a visa. I have seen incorrect information on this subject given several times and just want to share the correct info. See travel.state.gov/visa/temp/without/without_1990.html#countries

I wish to know whether cancellation of tickets by the passengers in Indian Railways is being updated or not. I am surprised to find that no change of my ticket status is seen on checking in the internet. As it is difficult to travel without reservation with old aged persons, at least two days in advance prior to the date of journey date the status of ticket may be known to the commuters for making the arrangements and to confirm the programme.

How many other people besides me are waiting for parcels from overseas which were posted weeks ago to be delivered around the UK by Parcelforce? Even their "Track and Trace " facility on the website has packed up through over use. I am still awaiting delivery of a parcel posted in the USA on Dec 4th ,can anyone beat that?
