Many airlines require you to reimburse them for any fines and the cost of being returned to your origin as part of their conditions of carriage. This would of course be a civil claim, and perhaps may not stand up in court depending on the specific circumstances as well as local consumer rights...

That is not the reason the German backpackers were denied entry to the US. They had just spent a month in New Zealand. After their month in the US, they planned to spend another month in Japan. When asked how they were able afford such a long period of travel (bearing in mind they are 19 and 18...

Continuation exit is only relevant to Oyster. You can only use contactless to WGC. If you touch in with contactless at Aldgate, touch again at Farringdon and touch out at WGC, the TfL computer will work out what you've done and charge you correctly for a single Aldgate-WGC journey. If you used...

Why do these parents choose to send their kids to Welsh schools? Were I Welsh with a poor command of the language, but decided to send my child to a Welsh school, I would be trying to improve my Welsh as my child(ren) learnt it at school. Of course I appreciate that not all parents will have...

A problem with multi-member seats would be that in the case of 2 MPs per constituency, then a very marginal constituency under FPTP might actually becomes a safe seat. Suppose it's Tory 45%, Labour 45% and other parties 10%. Tories and Labour would get one MP each. Even if the two main parties...

jfollows said it was dependents of students. I haven't been keeping up but I know it became more difficult or impossible for some students to bring their spouses/partners (who used to have full rights to work, even when the student themself didn't), so if a student and a spouse and perhaps a...

I've been to cafes in Blaenau F and Llanrwst where the only non-Welsh speakers were me and the staff member at the counter! It felt slightly awkward when they had to respond to every customer with "sorry I don't speak Welsh"

The only way to find out the "Will of the People" is to have another referendum with properly worded options, but no UK politican is going to risk another one where the result isn't already absolutely clear beforehand, which would mean that there isn't really any point in holding a referendum...

This was the example given by the OP!

On the M1 southbound, from about Luton onwards there is a section where it becomes 5 lanes. Every time I drive that way I seem to end up in the 5th lane as I'm trying to overtake, but it slows to 60mph and I notice that lanes 1-3 are empty. It takes a while to move back to the left because the...

Wikipedia says the word visa comes from your documents needing to be seen in advance of travel, so in that sense a UK ETA, US ESTA are not visas. Yet Australia calls their version a visa, and it even considers NZ citizens (who basically have freedom of movement) presenting their passport at...

Thanks... not sure how I missed that when looking on the website

Yet Schengen contains many sovereign independent states and it was once a possibility that both the UK and Ireland could have joined

Is there a reason the UK and Ireland can't agree on who needs a visa and who doesn't, in order to have a proper common travel area?

Is there a way to see live times in Slovenia? I am planning a similar trip in the winter time so an unexpected wait would not only be lengthy but also freezing.
