Is FlightCatchers Legit? Hi, yesterday I was looking for flights from London to Japan on Skyscanner. I found a flight with “FlightCatchers” on the wesbite.

Northern Madagascar (Antsiranana-Motagne d’ambre) Hello! We’ll be in Antsiranana for 11h from 7 AM to 6 PM in late december, and I’m hoping to visit Montagne d’Ambre National Park to see the beautiful lemurs, chameleons, and waterfalls.

When a hotel room is listed to have a sofa bed, what is the odd that it is actually not convertible to a bed? I will be staying with my wife and a 2-month old son. He likes to sleep next to my wife and the hotel does not provide cribs either. So, the bed is reserved for my wife and son. Now, the room says that it has one bed and one sofa bed. I have never known that sofa beds are actually convertible to a bed until I have a son and realize that from now…

Denied boarding for two drinks (Frontier) Hi everyone, I’m a bit new here so I’ll apologize in advance for the clickbait title. Just as it suggests though I had two drinks within two hours of my flight boarding. I lined up in line at the end of boarding group 2. I was silent in line listening to music and was pulled out of line and told that I was potentially “too drunk” to fly. I don’…
