checking opened 3 hours before.

This may come as a shock, but I've come across a website that holds
everyone's passport details - including your photo. The worrying thing is
that anyone can

Why is it, with all this discussion of BA and 25% mileage, that some FF
schemes are so complex? My main account is KLM FD. I always get 100% miles,
can upgrade any ticket and have reached Silver level very easily. Why can't
the rest of the world be so simple? :-)

I'm flying into Haugesund from London - Stanstead towards the end of

My wife and I are lucky enough to be off to Auckland in 10 days on Air
NZ. Has anyone done this flight in the last few months? I am
interested in the trasitting arrangements through LAX. It sounds a bit

I am a long time fan of transport, and aviation in particular and my job
lets me travel frequently, especially between Paris and London.  I have
always been a veteran of the Eurostar, claiming that considering air delays,
time wasted to get to the airports (esp cdg and lhr), and ...

I used Opodo to search for flights to Milan and I found references
to MIL (Milan), LIN (Linate), and MXP (Malpensa).  Okay, I'm
confused.  Are these all airports in the area?  Which is closest to
the city center?  Which is the largest?  Which have direct transport
