Just wondering if my significant other can take wetwipes on the plane
(Europe airport) in her handbag, or do they count as viscous fluids?

Does anyone know if there are airlines for inexpnsive travel between
Mexico City and Guadalajara.  It is a short flight, but the price seems
high for the "regular" airlines.  I was thinking of something on the
order of RyanAir or easyJet in Europe.

Are there any no-frills airlines in Canada? I'd like to fly between JFK
(or LGA or EWR) and Vancouver. It's possible to fly Jetblue to Seattle
for approximately $300 return but flying e.g. Delta to Vancouver costs
more than $700.

Snip:
United canceled a flight from Salt Lake City Thursday afternoon after
the pilot announced to passengers that he was too upset to fly,

I wonder what US Air and its compadres would do to me,
if I brought a cooler in my carry-on and started handing out
drinks to fellow passengers.

Landing in Paris at CDG airport, hotel is very close to Luxembourg RER
train station in Paris.  Take the Capitol door-to-door shuttle?  Or can
I use the train to Paris and get to this station without too much hassle?
Thanks.

"American Airlines", but that up until recently, it was United.
However, I was watching an old game show (on GSN) and the question was

I am told that at the moment, when you enter the terminal at Islay
airport, there is a sign saying to beware of adders.  The terminal
building and car park are full of them, and as they're a protected
species, there isn't a lot that can be done about it.

Friday the 13th will be remembered as a dark day for travelers, with
two major airlines adding new baggage fees and cutting perks in the
past 24 hours.
1) United to charge $15 for first checked bag

Against my better judgment I'm using LHR again in August, flying IB from T2
to MAD (final destination).
I'll be checked in online and hand baggage only; my flight is 1850 on a
Friday evening in August (woohoo).  What's the latest I should arrive,

Dear Air Travellers,
During a coach travel back from Luxembourg to The Netherlands we passed

Officials say the plane could belong to a Cambodian airline

Has anybody sampled the T5 business lounge yet? Is it any better that
the rather grim facilities in T4? (in contrast to the Qantas lounge in
Sydney, with showers and full meal service).
