    RTW via Star Alliance handed to Lufthansa - no communication with 'Star Alliance'

    Star alliance isn’t a carrier and doesn’t issue tickets. It’s also not a travel agent. So yes, this happens with all around the world tickets. Usually you just need the ticketing desk that deals with round the world tickets, but many agents have no idea. Are you certain the fare is upgradable...

    Made any travel mistakes lately?

    Yeah, EF would tell you if the fare bucket was taken up, but as soon as you go to book you take the seats out of play for that fare code. I suspect it’s why some people believe that booking companies change the price on you the more searches you do. The reality is likely- seats finally sell and...

    Hack to extend payment

    It’s easier to not take a booking though, airfares can be a hassle with low commission compared to hotels or insurance. Which conversely are nearly no work and pay way higher! That said, I’d at most charge $50 or something for cancellation.

    Hack to extend payment

    I suspect you’d have to call and it still wouldn’t be possible, but the best way for this is use an agent. They can take part payment to the agency account, then get the next and so on until paid, then ticket it. Ticketing time limits vary with the airline, booking class and the wind so it...

    Disappearing Hotel Booking

    Disappearing Hotel Booking

    I don’t work in IT but I’m struggling to see how a system could create this error. Bizarre. Where they booked very closely together?

    Buying a cheap ski home in Japan

    The benefit of it being such an insignificant cost is that you aren’t tied down, the same way you might feel you need to make use of it. $15k, in the scheme of multiple trips. Means I am happy to go elsewhere to ski still. I also have the “benefit” of little kids crippling my ability to tour...

    Buying a cheap ski home in Japan

    They are busier but not really packed on weekends. We looked at houses but they come with a lot of maintenance issues that are available time and cost. Apartments come with fees but these are, to an extent, predictable.
