Taipei Rebar Crowne Plaza and I need information
about its neighborhood.

Many US airlines don't seem to have fares for children 2-11 years old. What is

BA's web page.

My son's passport expires on Jan. 4, 2004.  Will he have a problem
visiting Paris during Thanksgiving?

I've been reading in various other postings that there are public
showers available at Heathrow Airport.  (The most recent one appears
to be in alt.travel.uk.air in March 2002).  It seems that showers are
free, but I can get a towel at the Information Centre for a pound or

I am posting this message, as I am going to Vegas in few weeks and
need to know how many carry-ons I can take with me. I have one bag

Has anyone been on Alitalia's new 777 Magnifica Class recently.  How
does it compare to Delta Business Elite.  I am scheduled to fly Delta
JFK-FCO, but I am thinking of changing flights to the delta coded, but
Alitalia operated flight.

I recently saw a TV show where people got to Vegas real cheap, air tickets and
