E V A Air

feeds@yuku.com (pwurster) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 10:33:45 GMT

Does anyone know if they pay commission?
Every time I try calling them I'm on hold for
what seems an eternity and it is not with an
800 number.

I'm on Sabre if that helps (nothing in the DRS
that says anything about them)

Thanks!

Date Of Birth, Middle Name for air travel?!?!

feeds@yuku.com (pwurster) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 11:45:28 GMT

This should be fun. I have no idea how to imput
this in Sabre. Hopefully Sabre will have some
type of program that makes it easy.

Now several airlines want everyone's middle
name (or initial) and date of birth.

Having a photo I.D. that matches the traveler
is not enough anymore??

Getting on a plane without ID

William Hageman,

Tribune Newspapers October 25, 2009

Nothing puts a damper on a vacation like realizing that your wallet or purse is missing.

Lost or stolen money and credit cards is bad enough. Without identification, though, you have to wonder what adventures await you at the airport as you try to catch your flight home.

Actually, it might not be as bad as you fear.

Spring Break - Family Friendly > Mexican All-Inclusive

feeds@yuku.com (Dacotah7) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 00:42:52 GMT

I am looking for a 3+ to 4 star all-inclusive "Family Friendly" resort in Mexico during spring break, without the College Crowd Spring Break Activities. The family has one 14 year old son and does not want nor will accept the big party scene or late night noise.

On an opposite note, I am looking for another group of college clients that wants an all-inclusive that allows the party 'til you drop enviroment.

Thanks.

I have a client that wants to go to Cuba. Does anyone have an idea of how to get them there? I heard I will need to go through a Cuba Bound Travel Agency but I have had no luck in locating one.

Well it appears that swine flu is picking up steam. I haven't received my immunization yet and am about to take some flights on incubator airlines.
Have you noticed any H1N1 effect yet on travel?

Magazine with Flips & Flop column

feeds@yuku.com (pwurster) — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 08:18:21 GMT

Can anyone help me? I can't remember the
name of the magazine that has this section.
I think the person's name is Les Ann (or similar).
I'm having a problem with a European hotel
and definitely want to bring it to the attention
of the travel industry, thus send her a "flop"
statement.
Thanks!
