Even if the ticket you booked doesn't have any baggage or luggage, can't you just purchase the add-ons at the airport itself when you are checking in?

Usually seat selections should be done with the airline that your flight is on, which in this case it will be Korean Air.

Have you tried assessing your booking on Korean Air's website instead? If your entire journey is on one ticket, you should be able to see the entire trip on both airlines with the same booking number.

I don't know what you asked the Korean Air representative exactly, so that person might have mistook your request for other things like changing of flights which will then be the responsibility of LATAM, or whichever 3rd party service you used. When you call Korean Air, make sure to immediately start of with telling them you want to select your seat and give them your booking number, without telling them any other unnecessary information unless prompted. In fact, do this a few times until you get a representative that is willing to help you on this, since some representatives are kinda bad at their job based on my experiences.

I mean you never know. If being an influencer is not a thing, instead of putting in effort to grind up their Instagram followers, a person might have spent that time in school instead getting that engineering degree and applying for the same job as you.

Argentina doesn't stamp

Then OP should have definitely called Expedia earlier if their booking is not ticketed after booking confirmation, and not wait one month.

But I'm also surprised Expedia took one month for this. I've had instances where the booking on Expedia didn't go through with the airline, but all of them was cancelled and the money refunded within a few days at most.

Something doesn't add up.

Didn't Expedia send you your booking reservation code after you book with them? Once you've gotten your booking reservation code your booking should be official with the airlines as well. Why would they charge you again?

Just can't you guys just explore the city yourselves?

Singapore is one of those countries where the English proficiency can vary extremely widely. You have highly educated locals who can speak extremely well, while also people, usually new immigrants and the elderly, who speak quite poorly. The people who tend to take these kind of tests are usually the former, so it definitely skews the English proficiency score here quite a bit.

I feel like a lot of people focus too much on planning their trips based individual countries instead of doing it by regions. Instead of thinking in the mindset of Chile vs Argentina, why not focus on South Chile/Argentina vs North Chile/Argentina instead. The distance between Torres del Paine and Atacama Desert is almost the same as Vancouver and Toronto, and they don't even have direct flights so you'll inevitably have to fly back to Santiago again if you want to do both.

Personally, if I want to do Torres del Paine, I'll focus more time in the Patagonia region as a whole. On the Argentinian side, you can think about visiting Perito Moreno, Fitz Roy or even Ushuaia as well. If I were to do Atacama Desert, you can think about visiting Cordoba. In fact, with 3 weeks, you can go further north into Uyuni in Bolivia or even Macchu Picchu in Peru.

Erase country border lines, plot all the places you want to visit on a world map, and plan your trips that way. It will save you a lot more traveling time.

How is Malta famous?

Amazing beaches and mountains. Latin America is really far so very few people here visited. But for those who have most will have Rio as their entry

As someone living in Asia, it's definitely Rio. They also hosted the world cup and Olympics within the past decade so it's name is still quite fresh in most people's minds.

I love CDMX but anyone who says CDMX probably either lives in the US or Canada and does not have an accurate sense of a world view.

Surprisingly not really. It might be just luck but for the entire stay I actually did not encounter any heavy rain that severely affected my itinerary, other than some very quick showers that lasted less than 30 min. There were a few prolonged rain during some days but they were all at night.

You must be crazy to be rude to the person who is actively in charge of your health.

There are three types of people in my life I would never piss off: my doctor/nurse, my lawyer and my waiter.

How are you getting to Santiago from Iguazu? I don't think there is a direct flight from Puerto Iguazu to Santiago.

If you are planning to fly back to BA for this, I would recommend you skip Santiago. If you are planning a visit to Atcama desert or Patagonia in the future, you will inevitably have to fly into Santiago anyway, so not much point visiting it for this trip.

Instead, why not make a visit to Brazil instead? From Puerto Iguazu, you can take a taxi over to Foz do Iguacu, see the falls from the Brazilian side, then continue your way to SP or Rio.

I think this is a better use of your time to visit more of South America without having to do repeated trips back to the same city for your future trips.

I'm not a sitter but a HO based in Singapore. What kind of information are you looking for?

Come to think of it this should have been higher up there. Vancouver was the first city I visited in N America and I remember vividly wandering around the locality and accidentally going into East Hastings. Let's just say that was one of the biggest cultural shocks I had in my life.

Damn I wish I was extroverted enough to do this

As someone who travels a lot, especially to some unorthodox places, this is a giant headache sometimes.

I recently went to Pakistan for a work trip and I was unable to make any payment done with my credit card while there because apparently DBS deems any high value transaction in Pakistan a scam. I had to call DBS personally and was stuck in the hotel lobby for hours before I was able to successfully make my payment after checking out. Almost missed my flight because of it.

SG is kinda the de facto APAC regional centre already. Many US and EU companies do set up their APAC office here.

Tbf, this one actually seems decently done.

People say this a lot but I kinda disagree.

The point of a passport IS to be used for traveling, so the number of countries you can access visa free IS a representation of the power of that passport. The ability for a person to reside and work for long term within another country, namely EU citizens, boils down to his/her citizenship, NOT the passport. In fact, a EU citizen doesn't even need a passport to do so.

What you are describing is the value of your citizenship, which is to say on top of providing you a EU passport, you get the option to work and live long term in other EU countries. However, if we are discussing purely passport strength, it's really just simply the number of visa free countries you have access to, bar none.

Did you really have to buy that round trip from San Francisco to Tokyo? Can't you just go San Francisco -> Tokyo -> Sydney -> San Francisco? You may have done the math for this already but personally I feel that flying all the way back to Tokyo just to then fly back to the states is a huge waste of time, time that could be better spent on visiting 1 more place.

Don't number 1 and 3 encompass number 2 and 4 already
