    Any advice on buying an iphone in the US?

    My sister really really wants an iphone - can you buy an unlocked iphone in the states? Does anyone have any experience of buying one in the US? We will be in San Francisco for the first week and it would be great if someone else has already done the legwork - I really don't want to spend a week...

    Will I get Cadbury's into the USA?

    I'd like to take a couple of sealed boxes of Cadbury's chocolates into the US for relatives in my checked through baggage. Will they let me keep them? Will I get asked if I am carrying food and then have to say yes and waste a lot of time getting searched so it would not be worthwhile? I know...

    Questions on using ANZ CC in USA

    I know this is lazy of me but might be quicker, and sometimes actual experience is worth a lot more than trying to unravel the small print. We are going to the US and use an ANZ Platinum CC (gaining FF Points). Does anyone else use this card in the US? If so, generally speaking what are the...

    Seat Allocation - back of the plane

    My soh has had a knee replacement and wants to sit in the double seats at the back of the plane on the long flights to the USA and back to have the little bit of room on the side of the seat as there are only two instead of three. Neither of us gets airsick nor are we worried about noise...
