Air Travel
 is there any specific baggage that they allow and not allow and what should i expect wheni get to the airport? plz help!!
A.Are you referring to the size and weight of your luggage or what you can pack? If you are referring to size and weight, each airline sets its own policy and it may be different for an international flight than it is for a domestic flight. You will have to check the website of the airline that you're flying to determine this. Many airlines now charge for a second checked bag and a few charge for all checked bags. You will also find that information on the airline website. Prohibited items in checked baggage can also be found at the airline website. Prohibited items in carry-on luggage can be found at the TSA website by following this link: [Link] 
  

Q.How could traveling the speed of light lead us to time travel?Related Search:
Astronomy & Space
 In a question, someone answered that if we were able to travel the speed of light, then we could somehow achieve time travel. How would this happen? Also, how could we make time travel possible? Is there some formula to it? I think time travel is a really awesome concept, and I want to learn more about it.
A.SpaceTime is the 4th Dimension The faster you travel through it the faster time passes by. Curving spacetime causes time to slow down Earths mass effecting spacetime causing a curve [Link]  But in reality it is 4D so the curve is more like this: [Link]  The time in empty space travels faster than time on Earth due to Earth causing a curve in spacetime Its like this the curve means more space for something to travel across ie time where as a smooth spacetime takes less space for something to travel across like someone running across a valley while another runs across a flat surface. Traveling faster is like running faster than someone else you will get to the finish line before them ie travel faster in space youll be in the future before the time you would if you went slower.
  

Q.What jobs out there allow a person to travel and write about their travel experiences?Related Search:
Other - United States
 I love the travel industry. There's certain feelings I get when traveling to a new place and I want others to feel the same way I do about visiting some place new or experiencing something totally different than what I am use to. I currently work in the travel business advertising vacation property and after seeing how beautiful the land is where some of the properties reside, I get this strong feeling of envy for the owners who get to enjoy the beauty of a vacation destination and of the land their homes rest on. How on earth can I find a job, aside from being a travel agent, or tour director, or cruise ship director, where I can travel to places I love and write about them for everyone else to experience? Im looking along the lines of maybe a travel magazine who will pay people to travel or even a website?
A.The travel writing industry is a very hard one to break into. If you have good background credentials, especially in writing/journalism, it doesn't hurt to try. Apply with National Geographic or Lonely Planet. They're both good companies.
  

Q.What are the benefits of travel insurance for domestic travel in Australia?Related Search:
General - Australia
 I am travelling to Syndey this weeked for a holiday from Brisbane. Should I get travel insurance? I have private health insurance. I don't think it is necessary. I have had travel insurance before but this was for overseas travel.
A.One major thing that your health insurance won't cover though is problems with the airline/flight. For example, one trip from Melbourne - Gold Coast couldn't take off because of flooding on the Gold Coast. All that the airline could offer was a flight 2 days later or a credit. My travel insurance picked up the difference (about $350 extra) to change to a different airline and fly into Brisbane later that day. Other things to consider, if you get sick while you're away or even before you are due to go and you can't fly on the day you have booked, if you don't give 24 hours notice you won't be able to change your date on discounted tickets and you then have to forfeit your ticket and buy a new one for when you are well enough. Travel insurance would cover this. Mind you, there are many people out there who don't take insurance for domestic trips, I guess it comes down to whether you have to money to cover it if something goes wrong....

Travel is the movement of people between relatively distant geographical locations for any purpose and any duration, with or without any means of transport. Travel also includes relatively short[1] stays between successive movements. Movements between locations requiring only a few minutes are not considered as travel. As an activity, "travel" also covers all the activities performed during a travel (movement).

Travel is a wider concept than a trip. A round trip is a particular type of travel whereby a person moves from his/her usual residence to one or several distant locations and returns. A trip can also be part of a round trip.

Travel is most commonly done for recreation or to visit friends and family (generally as part of tourism), for business or for commuting; but may be for numerous other reasons, such as health care, migration, fleeing war, etc. Travel may occur by walking or human-powered mode, or through mechanical vehicles, either as private or public transport.

Travel may be local, regional, national (domestic) or international. In some countries, non-local internal travel may require an internal passport, while international travel typically requires a passport and visa.

The word originates from the Middle English word travailen ("to toil"), which comes from the Old French word travailler ("travail").[2] A person who travels is called a traveler (U.S.) or traveller (UK).
