Open Question: What is the cheapest way to travel to europe or asia?

Basically, I am a student who is taking the year off from school and will work in the meantime. Soon, I'll have quite a bit of money. With that, I would like to travel. I'd like to travel to Jordan, France, Italy, India, Cambodia, Laos, and Nepal. Also I want to travel to South America, but I think I may save that for another time. Either way, S.Am. or Eurasia, I'd like to get out of the US. What is the cheapest way to do this? Just initial flights/cargo ships out. I've got places to stay and food obligations covered, just need help with figuring out the cheapest way to transport around. Thanks!I've looked at a few 'around the world' packages, but they're a little expensive. I've found that as soon as I can get out of the US I can find cheaper ways to get around (like Ryanair and Tigerair) rather than sticking with one company. Where is the cheapest place to get to and to live in? (it's okay if they're two separate places) more

Resolved Question: spirituality - whose speech was this ? where and when and what was the topic? can you pl answer with authority?

Three religions now stand in the world which have come down to us from time prehistoric - Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, and Judaism. They have all received tremendous shocks, and all of them prove by their survival their internal strength. But while Judaism failed to absorb Christianity and was driven out of its place of birth by its all-conquering daughter, and a handful of Parsees is all that remains to tell the tale of their grand religion, sect after sect arose in India and seemed to shake the religion of the Vedas to its very foundations, but like the waters of the sea-shore in a tremendous earthquake it receded only for a while, only to return in an all-absorbing Hood, a thousand times more vigorous, and when the tumult of the rush was over, these sects were all sucked in, absorbed and assimilated into the immense body of the mother faith. From the high spiritual flights of the Vedanta philosophy, of which the latest discoveries of science seem like echoes, to the low ideas of idolatry with its multifarious mythology, the agnosticism of the Buddhists and the atheism of the Jains, each and all have a place in the Hindu’s religion. more

Voting Question: Should I book the flight now?

I'm going to India in December through January. Im trying to get the cheapest airfare though. I've been tracking some flights and assessing all my options. When should I book it to get the cheapest fare? I wanted to do it in the middle of this month because people would be vacationing and airfare goes down. But then I also saw that you should wait until 2-3 months before to get the cheapest. That would land me booking during the school year which might make it even cheaper. I dont know. Does anyone have any experience with this? What should I do?Im going to Delhi and the other two Golden Triangle cities. We don't know if we can do Varanasi in the time we have but we are definitely doing Udaipur! That would cut out Varanasi. more

Resolved Question: What if my cabin baggage exceeds the size limit?

My cabin bag for Air India flight to Singapore is supposed to be within 55 x 40 x 20 and max 8 kgs. The weight of my bag is within limits, but the size may possibly exceed because it has wheels and it bulges out quite a bit. I understand it will be checked-in in such a case, however, how do they charge it? Do they simply charge it on excess weight per kg, that is, add the weight to the check-in allowance and charge excess fee per kg (1.5% of ticket fare) or do they charge some different price as for an extra bag? How much will I have to possibly pay? I don't have a smaller bag I can carry, and in any case, weight is not the problem, size is. more

Resolved Question: What will happen here family torn apart over a piece of paper Woman deported from US for using fake passport?

AHMEDABAD: A 28-year-old woman, Jigna Patel, was deported to India by the US immigration department after it came to light that she had travelled on someone else's passport. Immigration officers at Sardar Patel International Airport have handed her over to Sardarnagar police station officials and have lodged a complaint against her for travelling on illegal documents. Police officials said that Patel, a resident of Ghatlodia, was taken into custody at 9 pm on Thursday after the US officials caught her travelling using fake passport. "During the primary investigation, Patel's husband Dakshesh was working in a US firm in 2005. Patel had tried to go to the US and so she contacted an immigration agent in Gandhinagar, who, in turn, contacted a Chennai-based agent. The duo then managed to get her a US passport of a woman resembling Patel and sent her to the States illegally," said YR Gamit, inspector of Sardarnagar police station. She went to the US in 2007 and was living there till the immigration department officials came knocking at her door and informed her that there were some anomalies in her immigration papers. She was then questioned about the passport and she confessed that she did not have any. She was then deported and was sent back to the city on Wednesday. Her flight landed on Thursday evening. "We have got one-day remand for her. We want to know the chain of events and the names of the agents involved in the trade. We believe that it is the same gang which has a number of similar cases registered against them," said Gamit. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/City/Ahmedabad/Woman-deported-from-US-for-using-fake-passport/articleshow/6121756.cms more

Resolved Question: Do I need to buy an insurance?

I am taking 3 planes from MHT (Manchester, NH) to DEL (Delhi, India). I have layovers in EWR (Newark) and FRA (Frankfurt). My layover in EWR is only 1.5 hrs long. That means, if my flight from MHT-EWR gets delayed even an hour, which has happened several times before, I might miss my connecting flight that is EWR-FRA. So, if I do miss that flight, since it's not my fault the MHT-EWR flight got delayed, will the airline company put me into another flight or provide me accomodation for the night, or do I need to buy an airline insurance to make sure that I get provided with shelter for that night? My MHT-EWR flight is operated by Continental, and my EWR-FRA flight is also operated by Continental. So again, will the airline company put me into another flight or provide me accomodation for the night, or do I need to buy an airline insurance to make sure that I get provided with shelter for that night? more

Resolved Question: Dog dies while being flown from India to America. Why and How can that happen?

My cousin who is from India wanted to visit me in Maryland for a week. He also decided to bring his dog along with him on the plane. It was a 17 hour flight. The dog was 10 year old male shepherd mix with some minor arthritis and stomach problems. However, cousin was confident that the dog will easily make it because he is given medications for stomach problems and anxiety. After 17 hours the plane crew discovered the dog DEAD in the cage. Everyone was shocked and stunned. My cousin's trip has been ruined. Yet nobody knows why or how the dog died. How is that possible?

Voting Question: your response to this article?

Happiness Is A Warm Planet By Thomas Gale Moore President Clinton convened a conference on global warming yesterday, as the White House agonizes over its posture at the forthcoming talks in Kyoto, Japan, on a world-wide global warming treaty. Mr. Clinton is eager to please his environmentalist supporters, but industry, labor and members of the Senate have told the administration that this treaty would wreck the economy, costs millions of jobs and provoke a flight of investment to more hospitable climes. A crucial point gets lost in the debate: Global warming, if it were to occur, would probably benefit most Americans. If mankind had to choose between a warmer or a cooler climate, we would certainly choose the former: Humans, nearly all other animals and most plants would be better off with higher temperatures. The climate models suggest, and so far the record confirms, that under global warming nighttime winter temperatures would rise the most, and daytime summer temperatures the least. Most Americans prefer a warmer climate to a colder one--and that preference is justified. More people die of the cold than of the heat; more die in the winter than the summer. Statistical evidence suggests that the climate predicted for the end of the next century might reduce U.S. deaths by about 40,000 annually. In addition, less snow and ice would reduce transportation delays and accidents. A warmer winter would cut heating costs, more than offsetting any increase in air conditioning expenses in the summer. Manufacturing, mining and most services would be unaffected. Longer growing seasons, more rainfall and higher concentrations of carbon dioxide would benefit plant growth. Already there is evidence that trees and other plants are growing more vigorously. Although some locales may become too dry, too wet or too warm, on the whole mankind should benefit from an upward tick in the thermometer. What about the economic effects? In the pessimistic view of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the costs of global warming might be as high as 1.5% of the U.S. gross domestic product by the end of the next century. The cost of reducing carbon dioxide emissions, however, would be much higher. William Cline of the Institute for International Economics has calculated that the cost of cutting emissions by one-third from current levels by 2040 would be 3.5% of world-wide GDP. The IPCC also reviewed various estimates of losses from stabilizing emissions at 1990 levels, a more modest objective, and concluded that the cost to the U.S. economy would be at least 1.5% of GDP by 2050, with the burden continuing to increase thereafter. The forecast cost of warming is for the end of the next century, not the middle. Adjusting for the time difference, the cost to the U.S. from a warmer climate at mid-century, according to the IPCC, would be at most 0.75% of GDP, meaning that the costs of holding carbon dioxide to 1990 levels would be twice the gain from preventing any climate change. But the benefit-cost calculus is even worse. The administration is planning to exempt Third World nations, such as China, India and Brazil, from the requirements of the treaty. Under such a scheme, Americans would pay a huge price for virtually no benefit. And even if the developing countries agreed to return emissions to 1990 levels, greenhouse gas concentrations would not be stabilized. Since for many decades more carbon dioxide would be added to the atmosphere than removed through natural processes, the buildup would only slow; consequently temperatures would continue to go up. Instead of saving the full 0.75% of GDP by keeping emissions at 1990 levels, we would be saving much less. It is true that whatever dangers global warming may pose, they will be most pronounced in the developing world. It is much easier for rich countries to adapt to any long-term shift in weather than it is for poor countries, which tend to be much more dependent on agriculture. Poor countries lack the resources to aid their flora and fauna in adapting, and many of their farmers earn too little to survive a shift to new conditions. But the best insurance for these poor countries is an increase in their wealth, which would diminish their dependence on agriculture and make it easier for them to adjust to changes in weather, including increases in precipitation and possible flooding or higher sea level. Subjecting Americans to high taxes and onerous regulations will help neither them--we could buy less from them--nor us. The optimal way to deal with potential climate change is not to embark on a futile attempt to prevent it, but to promote growth and prosperity so that people will have the resources to deal with the normal set of natural disasters. Based on the evidence, including historical records, global warming is likely to be good for most of mankind. The additional carbon, rain and warmth should promote the plant growth necessary to sustain an expan more

If someone has used cheapoair.com for booking international flights i would appreciate answers to below questions. 1. After you make a payment using a credit card do you need to fill and send a credit card verification form by email to cauth@CheapOair.com Is that for all passengers or those who are using friend/family member card for their booking? 2. Do they have interline baggage agreements like if I book a flight from JFK in New York to Mumbai, India, my bags will be moved automatically by the airlines or is the passenger responsible for moving them by claiming from one airline and rechecking into the next airline? 3. Do you have interline ticket agreements like if the above trip from JFK to Mumbai involves three airlines, if a flight from one airlines is delayed, the other airline will make arrangements for me to get on the next flight? Any advice would be welcome. more

Resolved Question: Indians: What are your reactions to the report of Justice John Major on the Air India plane tragedy of 1985?

Air India Flight 182 blew up over the Atlantic Ocean near Ireland on June 23, 1985, killing all 329 people aboard, 280 of them Canadians.

Well, Indians compare this with the Bhopal tragedy verdict and the Indian Govt trying to cover up its lax supervision of the factory or the measures to compensate the victims or to even ensure proper delivery of justice!! Do share your views if the India govt needs to take its lessons from the west at least in apologising for its successive grave lapses and decide to undo the damages to the extent possible swiftly and sincerely, instead of engaging in 'cover up' operations? more
