Anyone have any opinions about Croatia Airlines?  I'm going to be
flying with them from Pula to Zadar (only a 35 min. flight!)  Thanks.

Looking for some insurance cover for my wrinkly parents. They're 82 and
80 respectively, in outstandingly good health, though some 12 years ago
dad had some sort of heart murmur that hospitalised him for 24 hours.
They're going to Australia (sorry Australia!!) via Dubai later this ...

We flew Aeorflot to Bangkok out of JFK, with a week or so  stopover in
Moscow, (open jaw???) sort of 2 vacations for the airfare of one...We
want to try this again to Bangkok out of New York but not thru
Moscow...anyone know of other airlines that might offer a similar deal.

Anyone know which airlines plan to -- or already have -- implement Boeing's
Connexion system on their transatlantic fleet?  I'd love to have internet
access for a seven or eight hour flight.  Beats the shitty IFE hands-down.

have a suitcase or two.

I'm a Texan girl dating a Canadian man (Toronto area, to be more
precise). He and I fly to see each other as often as possible. I do all
the researching and booking myself, he gives me his credit card to pay
for the trips. My question is... can anyone give me suggestions that

Someone who works at a big company told me that they have to make
all travel arrangements through a specific travel agent which prefers
specific airlines, rental car companies, hotels, etc., and that it
takes some jumping through hoops to get a travel itinerary using

For an upcoming trip, I am scheduled RDU-LGA-YUL. The first leg is on
US, arriving in the USAir terminal at LGA scheduled 8:00 am. The
second is on AC, leaving Central Terminal, concourse A, at 8:45.
I know there's a bus between terminals, and that it's not even so hard

Very interesting to compare Air Canada's very helpful and usable air
travel booking web site with United Airlines' much less helpful web
site, at least in checking out a potential code-shared round trip San
Francisco to Montreal.
