Aeromexico flights direct from Asia to Mexico?

Hello all,

I am in Laos at the moment and planning to go from here to Mexico in late August. I am having some trouble getting convenient and cheap flights.

I am looking at the Aeromexico flights from shanghai to Mexico City (via Tijuana) or the Aeromexico flights from Tokyo to Mexico City. There seems to be a huge difference between the flights prices though, and I'm wondering if anyone could tell me why. I would prefer the shanghai flight but it is $2500 (one way)! The Tokyo flight is much more reasonably priced, at $1083. Is there some reason why these flights have such a price difference, or do I just have to keep searching different search engines to try to get a better china - Mexico flight?

Thanks!

Honeymoon in Mexico - Playa del carmen and Los Cabos

Hi, My fiance and I are planning our honeymoon for February next year. We will fly from Melbourne Australia direct to LA and then fly from LA to Mexico.

Friends have recommended we visit Playa del Carmen? Does anymore recommend a 4 to 5 star resort, all inclusive, perfect for honeymooners? We are both 30 and love good food and fine and beautiful beaches and pools. We would love to stay at a modern resort with beautiful pools and restaurants.

We were also looking to spend a week in Los Cabos...does anyone recommend some amazing resorts for honeymooners in the area?

If anyone can recommend some great places to stay and activities to do that would be fantastic.

Thank you so much!

Cheers,
Em

Does travel insurance count at healthinsurance?

Will my Nomads travel insurance be enough?
If not how do I get health insurance for Sweden?
Thanks a lot for the help!

Advice on trekking Gokyo Ri

Hi there!

I'm a 22 year solo female traveler and I'm planning on trekking to the Gokyo lakes and EBC in september/october. I have not made a detailed itinerary yet, but I'm not in a hurry so I can take my time. The plan is to find a group to walk with in Kathmandu or along the way. It's my first time in the himalaya and I'd love some advise (I've read past threads about this trek).

1. First of all, what is the weather like at the end of september? What kind of clothes are necessary to stay warm?
2. Do i need to bring a sleeping bag for staying in teahouses? (i will bring a sheet)
3. Do I need a porter? I'm in very good physical condition but have no experience with long treks.
4. This trek will be part of a much bigger trip, so I will have some luggage with me that I don't need in the mountains. Is it possible to leave some of my stuff locked up safely in Kathmandu?

To book or not to book in advance?

Hi
My partner and I are experienced budget travellers of many years but are now taking our kids (13 and 8) on their first big trip - 4 weeks in Cambodia during July-August.

We never used to book places to stay or transport when we used to travel as a couple but aren't sure whether to 'risk it' with the kids. Can anyone offer advice on how busy and booked up things will be at this time (European school summer holidays) and offer recommendations on good places for kids?

Currently, we're thinking of spending a few days in PP then heading north-east toMondulkiri - Sen Monorom and Kratie (possibly Ratanakiri province too?); back to PP then up to Siem Reap and the temples; down to Sihanoukville and the islands (Koh Rong?) to chill; back to PP for 3-4 days.

Thanks for your help!

Driving the long way round.

We're off round Australia, starting in Perth and finishing up in Sydney. We will be driving North along the coast of WA, through the Kimberley, NT, to Cairns then South along the East coast. Leaving mid august 2013, and arriving in Sydney mid October. We have a 4WD we can sleep in the back of, some fishing rods and 2 months.

Do you have any tips that will help us along the way?

Have you recently done this trip and have ideas to share?

Do you want to join us for a section of the trip?

Any help or advice will be much appreciated. What to take or not to take, any 'must-do's' etc.

couple of itinerary questions

Having suddenly found myself with almost three weeks free (late Aug / early Sep) I have decided to head back to russia. A friend and I did the trans sib (Moscow - St Petersurg - Rostov Veliky - Irkutsk - Slyudyanka - Bailkal - Ulan Ude) last year as part of a longer trip and felt that we hadn't seen nearly as much as we'd like to have.

For this trip I'm thinking of the following itinerary.

Arrive Moscow August 22nd, train the same evening to Astrakhan (nice long train journey to catch up on some reading)
Then from Astrakhan - Saratov - Kazan - Nizhny Novgorod - Vladimir / Suzdal - Yaroslavl - Vologda - Rostov Veliky - Moscow.

The planning stages have thrown up a few questions,

1. The (very cheap) Easyjet flight from Manchester arrives at Domodedovo at 20.35, Train 005 departs from Moscow (I assume Paveletsky station) to Astrakhan at 23.59, will 3.5 hours be enough to get ... more »
