    A chance to reminisce - who remembers the "old days" of Travel?

    Help needed finding destination guide video on Dallas Fort Worth

    Aside from your browser history, have you checked your YouTube history? I find that easier for videos, as you get thumbnails which can remind you. Secondly, can you remember if it was a long or short video? And what else you remember from the video besides cowboy boots

    PER - SIN - DXB on different tickets

    No need to clear immigration. On arrival, head to one of the Transfer Counters inside the terminal. Give them your baggage tags and the onward flight details and they'll arrange the bags to be intercepted and re tagged for the onward flight.
