How can I buy travel vouchers to give as a gift?
Q. I would like to buy travel vouchers to give as a gift. They would be for travel originating in the UK - most likely to European destinations. Ideally they could be redeamed online and could be spent on both air travel and hotels. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks. I want to get the vouchers from a UK based company or website.

A. You can buy airline vouchers directly from the airline - most offer them on their website. Virgin Atlantic offers "Virgin Vouchers" in denominations of PS5, PS10, PS20 and PS50. They're sent out in a stylish wallet along with a list of all the places where they can be used. Here's the website w/ more info and where the vouchers can be used:

How to travel from Rome to Venice and then to Switzerland?
Q. Hi, I intend to travel from Rome to Venice and then to Switzerland (whichever city is the most suitable to get into Swiss). Can somebody advice how do I go about this trip? The prices from rome to venice by train italia seems to be pretty expensive. I am looking for the cheapest way of transport - please advice. Secondly, we have a party fo 6 adults and 1 child. Is there any apartment sort of accomodation which works cheaper than hotels in these countries - Italy and Switzerland? Any other travel advice on Italy travel will be appreciated. Thanks.

A. Actually, train travel here in Italy is stilli relatively cheap compared to many other places. However, it does add up for a large group. There are a couple of things you might want to consider. One is to rent a car to drive - that won't have a per person charge and you could rent the car just for the specific trip. Driving times and directions: The night train from Rome to Venice is a good option for you: . The train leaves from the Tiburtina station in Rome at 10:36 pm and arrives in Venice at 5:26 the next morning. Seats are cheaper than the high speed train and right now there's a special promotion for 19 euro (limited number of seats). Rather than sitting, I would recommend getting berths which make it easier to sleep. The standard… [cont.]

A. About 3 days between leaving an orbit around Earth and settling into an orbit around the moon. After launch on Saturn V SA-504 on July 16, 1969 from pad 39A of Kennedy Space Center, Apollo 11 entered Earth orbit. After 1 1/2 Earth orbits, the S-IVB stage was re-ignited at 16:16:16 UT for a translunar injection burn of 5 minutes, 48 seconds putting the spacecraft on course for the moon.

About an hour and 15 minutes later the S-IVB stage was injected into heliocentric orbit.

A. Carry bare essentials only since you will be shopping. Try mailing stuff back to your home by the cheapest possible route- i.e by sea. When packing use the 50% rule i.e. afer packing , try removing half. Happy travelling.

Asked by cassie h - Thu Apr 24 13:41:27 2008 - Air Travel - 2 Answers - Comments

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:

I can travel standby anywhere for free. How can I make money with this ability?

Asked by Kal H - Mon Jun 30 00:57:59 2008 - Air Travel - 4 Answers - Comments

A. You can't. There was a time when a very minute number of passengers could standby--as a pre-approved courier--on a few select and rare international flights for very low prices, but since 9-11, those days are gone... Baggage allowances are so low, and excess baggage fees so high, that couriering your own goods seems like a difficult way to make some cash--unless you're importing something like rare feathers, for example. Keep in mind that if your travel is for work, and you actually perform work in another country, you might well be liable for tax on income earned there--further complicating the idea. Have you considered going with older people who might need some assistance while travelling? Just an idea.

A. Travel to places where you could easily get a work visa (Australia/new zealand/etc if your British passport holder) and just work your way around. or just work on the sly in some places. but working increases the time you spend out there and you get a much better feel for the place when you can spend a few days at each stop. this way the only expensive part of your travels will be getting there and thats what parents are for ;)

Asked by Prashant - Tue Apr 28 10:31:27 2009 - Air Travel - 4 Answers - Comments

A. Yes, it is perfectly safe to travel with a baby that young, even for such a long distance. Babies often do have difficulty with the pressure in their ears during take-off and again when the plane starts to make its descent to land. If you have the baby nursing or drinking from a bottle during that time, then the baby should be fine. Even sucking on a pacifier can help. It isn't dangerous to the baby - they just become uncomfortable if they can't pop their ears. But sucking on something will help. Bring lots of diapers, changes of clothes, and plenty of formula if necessary for the trip. You should bring more than you think you will need just in case there are delays or in case your baby picks that day to change the routine a little. Also,… [cont.]

A. The global Interrail pass is for European residents. The global Eurail pass is for non-European residents. So look at Eurail passes, but take into account that Czech Republic and the Eurostar are not part of the Eurail pass. I personally would fly from the UK to Switzerland and from Prague to the UK. For Czech Republic I would by point-to-point tickets, for Switzerland and Austria I would compare point-to-point with national rail passes. See www.whichbudget.com for flights

Q. I'm a retired pro photographer and want to travel (with my husband as assistant) and take photos to submit to stock photography companies. Scenics, local cultures, wildlife, etc. How much of my travel expenses can I legally deduct from my USA income tax? Opinions? Experiences?
Asked by sheek Txn - Sat Feb 2 10:00:35 2008 - United States - 1 Answers - 1 Comments

A. If the principal purpose of your travel is for business then you can deduct those costs, but you must prorate them between the business and personal purposes. If the principal purpose is personal then you can only deduct the portions of lodging and meals (at 50% on the meals) that are directly attributable to the business purpose. No travel and transportation is deductible. If the IRS determines that this is more of a hobby than a true business they will further limit any deductions that are allowable to the income you generated from selling the pictures. In this case the income goes on line 21 of Form 1040 and the allowable expenses go on Schedule A as a Miscellaneous Deduction.
