Preparing our travels in advance...

As any traveler, I am quite obsessed with the idea of getting lots of information related to the specific are to where I am traveling… In fact, I don’t think that any traveler could ever forget the idea of getting as much information as possible related to the area we pick for our holidays.

Isn’t it easy and comfortable for any Internet user? Well, next time you travel, just don’t forget to use this useful tool…

Where is my refund?

Just see this dialogue and take your own conclusions out of it:


Q: I’m trying to get a partial refund for my airline ticket, and am getting nowhere. Maybe you can help me.

I recently booked a nonrefundable ticket on Lufthansa from San Francisco to Istanbul through Priceline.com. I had to call off my travel plans because of an illness, so I decided to recoup my rather sizable surcharges and fees, which amounted to about $350.

I phoned the airline to ask about a refund, and an agent suggested I get in touch with Priceline. But Priceline said it could only refund the taxes and fees if Lufthansa agreed to it. The back-and-forth continued, with neither side able to help me.

I feel Priceline is responsible for the refund, since it was my travel agent. How do I get these two groups to talk to each other and rectify the situation? — Kevin O’Connell, San Francisco

A: Priceline should have helped you with your refund instead of passing you off to Lufthansa.

While it’s true that a nonrefundable airfare isn’t refundable, there’s another part of your ticket that I think should be reimbursed. Certain government taxes and fees ought to be returned to you.

Prepare yourself for the upcoming parties!

Even though I am a traveler and I was willing to take advantage of the upcoming Halloween season to go to another country that I didn’t visit yet, the truth is that I won’t resist the temptation of going once again to the Halloween party of the company as there are simply too many attractions to pass it by!

Computers may influence the airlines...

A faulty computer unit likely caused a Qantas jetliner to experience two terrifying midair plunges within minutes last week, an Australian investigator said Tuesday.

More than 40 people were injured when the Airbus A330-300 briefly nose-dived twice during a flight from Singapore to the western Australian city of Perth last Tuesday.

Julian Walsh, chief air investigator at the Australian Transport Safety Bureau, said an initial investigation indicated the cause was a computer unit that detects through sensors the angle of the plane against the airstream. He said one of the plane's three such units malfunctioned and sent the wrong data to the main flight computers.
