Philadelphia Airport

Hey!

I'll be in the states this winter and i got a few questions.
I'm not looking for any kind of tourism stuff, just some info about the airport in Philadelphia.
My problem is, i'll arrive at Terminal A and the connecting flight goes from Terminal B.
I googled it but didnt find anything that could help me.
So i'd like to get some info about directions or ways to get from A to B, cause i've found something
about some kind of Shuttle-service but also read that it takes quite some time.
I'll be there for two hours between flights and well, i like to plan things ahead so that i wont
have to worry about it later.

The next thing is, i'm not so sure about the baggage. I traveled by plane quite a few times already
but never had a connecting flight from the same airport so i honestly dont know if i have to pick up my stuff
and check it in again for the connecting flight since ... more »

Lava flow returns to The Big Island

I believe someone just recently posted an inquiry about seeing lava flow at Volcanoes National Park (The Big Island, Hawaii) and until a few days ago, it had been nearly a year since active flow could be seen.

However it appears the lava-drought has ended and if anyone has been planning a trip in the near future to TBI, you are in luck. I personally am sad cause I just returned from there 2 weeks ago so just missed the show. I am sure the best views are via helicopter, perhaps by boat if they are being allowed.

Here's a link with some details:

Another visa question

I've read through as many previous questions relating to tourist visas however couldn't find any information relating to my issue.
I am travelling to the US for a holiday next year, however believe that I am unable to under the visa waiver programme.
Around 6/7 years ago I was arrested for what I believe was a Section 5 public order offence (possibly drunk and disorderly). I have received my certificate from ACPO and this states 'no trace' - meaning that I have no convictions, warnings etc on record on the PNC. I know however that I was given a fixed penalty fine after spending the night in the cells.

I have made enquiries with the police and they said that if US immigration requested information on me from the PNC it would show that I was arrested and that I received a fine from them (no conviction and was not sent to court).

I understand that the embassy website says th... more »

2 weeks west coast with 14 guys...!

Hi all,

Planning to to Seattle - LA next year Sep/Oct. 14 guys, all around 30.

• Want to visit a few places on the way that are good for (i) adventure (trekking, kayak, caves, biking) (ii) surfing/beach (iii) party towns (could be 'just' SF but also a cool festival).
• We'd want to rent a few big vans and self drive and would probably pre book accommodation as it's a large group.
• We'd prefer to avid tourist traps and rather do as much off the beaten track as possible. Don't want to drive every day, so we'd love to stick to 4 or 5 places as a base.
• Trip just needs to be epic...

Checked Baggage

Hey guys,

I'm a student from Singapore who's going to Montreal on exchange this coming semester. I'm planning to take a plane to New York and spend a few days there before taking the Amtrak rail to Montreal. Problem is apparently they don't allow checked baggage service on the train and their carry-on baggage restrictions is quite tight; and I have quite a lot of baggage with me as it usually the case for exchange students. So what should I do?

Repeat visits to girlfriend in USA

I am a British citizen who has a girlfriend in the states.
I met her in October 2011 whilst I was working on a H2B visa as a soccer coach in Chicago. We spent little more than a month together before I had to leave. I left for Australia to visit family before returning to the UK and by way of huge coincidence, she was in Melbourne at the exact same time as me so we got another month together. Then after a long and grueling 9 months apart, I have finally, just got back to the states to see her again. I quit my job, put nearly 2 grand in to the trip and am halfway in to my 2 month stay with her. I am currently on an ESTA visa and have no intention of working here but now I'm back with this girl, I can't be without her.
My issue is this; As I went through customs and immigration on this visit, the intended length of stay (2 months) raised concerns and I was taken to secondary screening... more »

Stopover?

Hi...

I would like to know which stopover is more preferable in the SIN-NYC route and which airline is better...
Option 1:
SIN-LHR
British Airways Business Class
After 3.45HR Connection,
LHR-NYC
Also British Airways

Option 2:
SIN-FRA
Singapore Airlines Business Class
3HR Connection then,
FRA-EWR
SQ Business

Which airline's business class is better?
And which airport is more preferable?
Are there any other routes(not one way, etc.SIN-CDG-NYC or SIN-AMS-NYC?)
How is the value for price?
Will the connection time be enough for the check-in?
THANKS!
