Airline “NO SHOW” question Last year I booked a round-trip flight on EVA (a very solid airline btw…) and I didn’t use the return leg. On the date of my ‘no show’ flight I got an email from the airline informing me that I should log into their website and pay the $150 no show fee.

17″ airline seats – just how awful are they? This is a bit of a first-world-problems post, but I’ve always opted for airlines that use 18″+ wide seats in economy as I can get a little claustrophobic when crammed in. When booking LHR-BKK flights a little while ago, I chose EVA Airways precisely because they boasted 18.5″ seats in the economy cabin, in a 3×3 configuration. However, a while a…

Taping two large cardboard boxes for airline check in? I have two cardboard boxes that would still meet the weight/dimension requirements for a check in luggage if I were to tape the two together.

From what I have researched, this isn’t going to fly with the air…
