I was trying to pay for my trip using a Visa Electron and a Maestro
card but to no success. It constantly keeps informing me that my credit

The global carriers need to enact a rule that people who arrive at a flight
with unacceptable personal hygiene will not be allowed to board unless and
until
they clean up their act.

We got shafted by AA - trying to go PDX-ORD-ORF.  They said the plane
was late, but what we all know is they didn't sell enough seats on the
early (weekday) flight so combined two.  The second flight ORD-ORF was
full so they wanted us to spend the night in ORD and fly at 3PM to ORF

... that's the charges at the train station itself, as opposed to the
airport's own car parks...?  (For a stay of about 8 hours...)?
Thanks

Are you allowed to fly if you require use of an oxygen tank?

The last several times I've flown from Atlanta to/from regional southern
