How long would it take to travel through the mantle?

The mantle is 2884 km deep. If I were to travel through the mantle, how long would my journey be?





By the way, I know this sounds stupid. No one could ever travel through the mantle, it's way too hot (4,000 degrees F), but I have to write a paper about traveling through the different layers of the earth.|||At what speed??? In other words:





2884/speed=time|||If u were going 2884kmph than it would take 1 hour or around that it would take long than an hour because density is greater than most liquid.|||2884 km is quite a long way, so I'm guessing you'd want to stop for a few meals along the way. Now depending on your tastes, this might mean stopping at MacDonalds, or at a posh restaurant, so you stop times will have to be accounted for. Also are you planning on travelling trough the core as well, cause if the earths core is anything like an apple core, there are some tough little bits in there, (you know the bits that sometimes get stuck in your teeth), and they may take a bit longer to get through. What will your mode of transport be? You might not get too far in your car, I'm sure the tyres won't be able to cope with the heat. You are probably going to need a vehicle that can withstand a lot of heat - maybe something like the space shuttle - but be sure to avoid any pieces of foam when you are first starting out, as we all know the damge that foam can cause to heat shields. Anyway good luck with it, can't wait to see the photos.

Will a time travel theme hurt the chances of a novel being published?

I want to write a young adult science fiction novel, and I have an idea about time travel. It's somewhat different than how time travel is usually depicted in fiction. In fact, it's almost satiric of the idea. But I'm wondering if time travel is too cliche now to market? Will an editor take one look at the story, say, "not another one about time travel ..." and toss it in the rejected bin? Should I just come up with another idea, or is a time travel-themed book still marketable?|||It depends on two things.





The first is how original it is. If your idea of time-travel is pretty much the same idea that everyone else has, and is the central element of your novel, that could be a problem.





Secondly, it depends on how you write it. Many authors write about things that are cliche but unrealistic that, in the hands of anyone else, would come off as ridiculous. But the way they write it is astounding.





Furthermore, when you write a novel, there's something called "suspending disbelief." Obviously the concept of time travel is something that doesn't exist in our world, and so you would have to manage to write the book in a way that allowed readers to suspend their disbelief. If at everyone page there was something new that didn't exist in our world, you'd have problems. For example, if on one page you said there was time travel, on another you said there was magic, on a third you said people never died, eventually (unless you're an incredible author) the reader wouldn't be able to suspend their disbelief and would think that the entire novel is just not believable.





Read books like Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and other Fantasy/Sci-fi classics to get a feel of how the author writes. Pay attention to parts where they cause you to suspend your disbelief and where they make you feel that this imaginary world/person/concept/item exists, even though it doesn't. Try to achieve the same effect.





Anything can be put in a book. It's just up to the writer to make it work. Best of luck to you.|||go for it... i am sure a new concept of time travel would be great.|||Time travel will always be a staple of sci-fi. It has been done a lot but I don't think they would toss out your manuscript for that reason alone. Perhaps you should suck them in with the first chapter or two and then introduce the time travel element. By that time, they'll be too interested to stop reading.





Good luck!! ; )|||Every idea is marketable. As long as you can make a really exciting and great story. If you've read Stephen King novels you'll realize that all his works are on random ideas. The Mist is about monsters comming out of a big mist, the Dead Zone is about a man who can look into someone's past and future by simply touching the person of one of their belongings, i can go on forever. There are so many zombie stories and they sell, because they make them exciting and great to read. Keep your subject of choice and make the story great and it'll sell. Any subject can sell.|||If you think you've got a good idea, go with it.





Personally, I love the concept of time travel whether it's science fiction or theoretical research. People are fascinated by time travel because it unlocks limitless possibilities. Any editor who would recognize this as a "cliche sci-fi drama" is the Moron of the Century.





As for failure, if you don't have confidence in what you have written you should edit it yourself. You are the only one who knows how your novel is supposed to feel, so make it how you want it. If it's good, it will be published. If it's not, try again. And remember, Dune (one of the biggest sci-fi cult book's of all-time) was rejected by 13 editors. 13!!!





Keep a writing notepad, note your thoughts, write whenever you can, and don't give up.

For travel between Germany and Switzerland should I buy a eurail pass?

I'm planning to travel between Switzerland and Germany in Sept. My plan is to visit about 7 cities in 10 days, is it better to buy the eurail pass or buy individual tickets?|||It is often cheaper to buy individual tickets rather than a Eurail pass. Especially, if you'll be taking the faster trains that require an extra reservation/supplemental fee and/or are able to take advantage of discounts by buying individual tickets in advance.





There's information on supplements here: http://www.eurail.com/eurail-reservation鈥?/a>

You can check the prices for individual tickets at: http://www.bahn.de/international/view/en鈥?/a> (Germany) , http://www.sbb.ch/en/ (Switzerland)





You just need to put together your tentative itinerary and check the different trains. Add up the prices for the individual tickets and compare to the price of the pass plus all required supplements.

Why do airplanes not travel in a straight line?

I look at the airline's travel map, and they are never traveling in a straight line.|||Various reasons. Winds; the airway is not a straight line; change in clearance, need to move to evade weather or other aircraft, and probably more.|||world is round, sh=t for brains|||They don't fly in a straight line because they fly with the latitude and longitude lines and those aren't straight. They are curved because the Earth is round.|||they follow the curve of the planet, they do go straight for the most part but the map itself is where the arch comes in, the difference between looking at a globe and a flat map. lay the map over a basketball, you'll see.|||maybe because of the latitude and longitude lines...|||The world is round and always spinning so going straight will mean they'll miss their destination. Thus they plan their flight accordingly so as to actually arrive to their destination despite the rotation and curvature of the Earth. Secondly if all planes traveled in a straight line, it increases the likely of a midair collision of two planes going in opposite direction.





Flight 1 heads to Houston TX, leaving LA and going straight.


Flight 2 heads to LA, leaving from Houston and going straight (at around the same time).


Midway....BOOOM!





A straight line is the shortest distance between two points...


In this case it leads to a lawsuit...|||Some times it is as simple as a storm is in the way or the direct path of flight is through restricted airspace.





If you have a more specific question please clarify.|||THEY DON'T TRAVEL IN STRAIGHT LINES BECAUSE THE GLOBE IS ROUND SO IF YOU TAKE A GLOBE AND MARK A LINE FROM WHERE EVER TO WHEREEVER AND TAKE THE PAPER OF THE GLOBE, YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THE LINES AERN'T STRAIGHT. THERE ARE ALSO OTHER PLANES IN THE AIR YOU KNOW SO MAYBE THATS WHAT MAKES THEM TAKE THE SAFEST AND QUICKEST ROUTE TO THE DESTINATION|||pilot drunk|||Aircraft travel via air traffic control centers. These centers monitor both altitude and speed. For obvious reasons, centers monitor many different types of aircraft. Some fast jets, some slower turbo props, some slower pistons. In order to have the aircraft avoid colliding in midair. Centers will work traffic using the VOR's at different airports accross the country. Control centers will tell someone flying from west coast to east to go a certain route via the VOR's. East to west traffic will use a different route. If you look at the US as a whole, the VOR's are a sort of highway system in the sky. Thus, the aircraft have to fly over VOR's to stay on the highway in the sky!!!|||Why do you thing airplanes DON'T travel in a straight line?|||Nowadays we can often just go GPS direct which is a straight line to where you want to go (if ATC allows it). But before GPS we had to use radio navigation. Things called VORs and NDBs. These are scattered throughout the country. If you wanted to fly from the west coast to the east coast navigating by this method....you would not ever be able to plan a perfectly straight route, you would have to zig-zag a little between navigation facilities.|||The maps you are looking at are printed that way for clarity, not the actual route. Commercial aircraft travel is conducted using specific routes between ground based navigational aids. These routes are called Victor Airways. At the time when these airways were set up we didn't have sophisticated electronics or GPS satellite systems. Aircraft traveled from navigation signal to navigation signal. Flight controllers expect aircraft to be on specific routes and specific altitudes to avoid clearance problems (AKA collisions). Aviation industry is slow to change but one day soon we will have commercial aircraft traveling direct from their departure location to their destination saving time and fuel.|||they fly from VOR to VOR|||On those Airline travel maps you are looking at I am sure the routes going North/South look like straight lines, only the East/West routes appear to curve. The issue is with the map. Your question really gets to the choices map makers have to make, the challenge all maps of the Earth have is that they are trying to represent a sphere (or an ellipsoid, the Earth actually bulges at the equator) on a flat piece of paper. Most maps are Mercator Projections which distort the northern and southern latitudes, with out seeing the travel map you are looking at I would guess that it is a Mercator Projection.





Do this experiment yourself 鈥?you鈥檒l need a globe, a World map and a piece of string. On the globe stretch the piece of string between Seattle and Amsterdam, notice the shortest route takes you over Canada and Greenland, north of both your starting and ending point. When you do the same thing on the World map you鈥檒l notice that your string is nearly following the lines latitude across the northern United States and the North Pacific, a much longer route.





You can then exaggerate the difference by looking at Seattle to Moscow. The direct route on the globe will take you over the artic, on the map this doesn鈥檛 even look possible.|||it goes by the wind|||I hate people that answer questions that don't know what the heck they're talking about. DenimGuy5 is an idiot and shouldn't be answering aviation questions. To clean up his mess of airplanes running into each other if two airplanes took off from different airports and flew directly at each other they wouldn't collide. First specific altitudes are to be flown for the direction of flight you are traveling. Basically if you are flying easterly you are to fly at odd thousands and westerly you are to fly at even thousands. For example if my heading is exactly 090 (east), I'm supposed to fly at an odd thousand such as 7,000 feet or FL330 (33,000 feet). This would be for IFR traffic which in addition to that each aircraft would be assigned an altitude to fly at which sometimes doesn't go along with the rule I just mentioned. If you are flying VFR you are to take the same rule but at 500 feet to the altitude you wish to fly at.





The answer to the question asked has already been answered by most everybody. When we look at a map we see a 2-dimensional representation of a 3-D globe. When you see the flight track of an airplane that is actually flying direct from one airport to another and it looks curved it's because he's following the natural curvature of the earth. If you were to warp that map into the shape of the globe it would in fact turn in to what looks like a strait line from A to B.|||no straight lines/road dividers up there to indicate.|||most of these answers are correct i like the one with flight 1 and flight 2 and the crash this is correct but also planes can not just fly where they want to there are flight routs which MUST be followed!|||Airlines travel by electronic "highways." When travelling great


distances they use a "great circle" route. Its actually a straight


course when plotted on a globe. When you see the route in


print, you're seeing a flat representation of a spherical course.


Thats why it appears curved.

How much does it cost to travel on the Ohio Turnpike?

For clarification, I am NOT asking how much it costs to travel the entire length. Please do not tell me it costs $10.25, because that is NOT the answer I am looking for.





I am planning to travel a ~45 mile section of the Ohio Turnpike tomorrow (my exit is 110, so I'm guessing I get on around exit 64-65). Any idea how much it would cost to travel this section of the Turnpike? I just want to make sure I have the right amount of cash/change on me. Thanks!|||According to the Ohio Turnpike website, as of 2007 you would be looking at about $2 for the toll. It may have increased since then so I would take a bit more just to be safe.||| Best idea is to look it up on their web site, or just figure about $.05 per mile. That will be close.

What travel documents will my son need to go to the Philippines for an extended period (more than 1 year)?

My son was born here in the US (thus he is considered a US citizen) and his dad is a US citizen, but I retained my Filipino citizenship. We are planning to travel to the Philippines for an extended period and we are considering applying for a permanent resident visa for my husband. But I'm wondering if my son needs to have the same visa, too since by law, he is also considered a Filipino citizen by virtue of my own status.|||You should get dual citizenship for your son ASAP. He is eligible under RA9225, the dual citizenship act of the Philippines;





http://www.lawphil.net/statutes/repacts/鈥?/a>





The first step will be to report the birth to the Philippine embassy that services your area. Once that is done apply for a passport for him. Also make sure he has a US passport. Once he has both passports, he can enter and exit the Philippines on his Philippine passport, and enter and exit the US on his US passport, thus avoiding all visa problems.





Also, if you have been a green card holder for more than 2 years and 9 months, you should apply for US citizenship. This is to your own advantage down the road, and under RA 9225 it does not effect your Philippine citizenship.





www.fil2usavisa.com|||I know that if you are a US citizen and they is travelling with you, you ALL can get a balikbayan visa when you arrive at NAIA that is good for 1 year. Not sure if that applies to members of a still Filipino citizen. Check with the embassy and ask them about the balikbayan visa to see if it applies to you. Sometime before that 1 year is up, they must leave the PI for at least 1 day, and upon return can get another visa good for 1 year. They have to be travelling with you though.


A 13a you can apply for anytime during that time. I had a friend that just applied for his 13a and it is costing him P50,000 (this includes the palm greasing for expediting). This gives your husband time to see if he really wants to live here, if he hasn't stayed here for an extended period before, because it is an adjustment. He can view my blog and see how one American adjusts to the PI. It's at the source site below. Good luck.|||What is the Pass Port of the Child? If it is American then to go there it would be the same as your husband....A visitors visa...





Will your husband be with you (the child's father?) if so you should (together) get your child's Duel Citizenship taken care of...while you are here. You cannot do it without the consent of the legal Father.





Your child can be a duel citizen but you have to register him/her in order to do that, you can't just say this is my child and I am a Filipino citizen so he is too...Every thing has to be done properly...I am not sure how to do that, you really should contact the Philippine Embassy where you live.|||Get him a US Passport %26amp; when you get here go to any Philippine Bureau of Immigration within 21 days for the correct answer to your question.

How can I find companions to travel abroad with?

So I want to travel from the US to pretty much anywhere abroad in the next few months. The only problem is I can't find anyone among my friends at home who will commit to going with me.

What is the best way to travel in European countries?

I want to travel to European countries. As there are many countries in this region for travelling, I want to discover slowly one by one. Any suggestion for me to enjoy travelling ? Appreciated if any.|||Europe contains MANY countries........


I know to there are walks you can do. A friend of mine did a walk around the Black forest region, just walking through various villages etc. There is also one you can do on the Italian coast...I can't quite remeber the name, but it has sometihng to do with 5 villages (cinqa...something) and this has also been recommended to me.





Trains and buses are frequent and good ways to get from A to B, otherwise there are a multitude of airlines, if you want ot skip through anyplaces.. There is a site below I recommend that has many airlines included in it. There is also a couple of bus companies, with options for using the bus to get around.|||Hitch hike and get a ride on a milk truck. The truck will stop at every barn and the barns will be spaced about 3 minutes apart. You will have plenty of slow discovery time.|||You could start with the Eurostar website. It's a network of European railways that allows you to buy different kinds of rail travel passes for as many as 16 countries, at a very discounted rate. Alternatively, you can fly within Europe of their budget carriers which offer tickets for a very very low price.





However, Eurostar is better since it allows you the flexibility to travel within the area for which the pass is valid and break journey at any place. Of course, there are some small fees for services like reservations etc. Travel by rail allows you to enjoy the breathtaking European countryside which changes as you zoom from one country to another.





In Europe, you can find an excellent selection of hotels and hostels but you need to book them in advance for the best possible rates and to ensure you'll get a room when you arrive.





To discover slowly, one by one, I suggest you land in Amsterdam and travel around the Netherlands. Next, travel by rail to Brussels and enjoy Belgium. Later, you can visit Luxemburg and taste what that country has to offer. From Luxemburg, you can go onwards to Germany and so on....|||Well u can travel within europe by either flights or rails.If u plan to travel to UK to Paris,France u can take the Eurostar.As for inter-railing between countries u can try eurorail.U can check fares %26amp; routes from the sites below.Also u have the option of flying with budget flights which i wud list for u below as well.But 1st u need to google wot countries that u wud wanna explore %26amp; visit 1st.Also it all depends on how many days u have to explore it one by one,unless u have least 3months ( minimum ) , i doubt u can explore all the countries in a month or 2.Even if u cud, u wud barely scratch the surface.Anyways google up wot countries 1st.U can always head to Prague,Czech Republic.Beautiful city,Amazing Catheral...lovely ppl .Or try Paris, The famous Louvre Museum,Notre Dame,Eiffel Tower..etc..so much to do and see in Europe.Its all about u and wot u want to do.So take some time off and check everythin up.Once u got the countries u wanna head to figured up,book hotel/hostels,means of transportand etc...Good Luck! :)|||well i think the best way to travel is by plane 'cause it doesn't take too long and it's usually cheaper. depending on where you wanna go, a train can take hours and hours and some of them are not very confortable. and if you are into getting to know fun people you should stay in hostels. it's a lot of fun and the cheapest option as well. and some of them are even better than cheap hotels. here are some websites you should check :

www.ryanair.com

and for hostels :





www.hostelworld.com|||Depending on the amount of time you will be travelling, of course, I believe I would prefer to travel by car.


Most European countries (if not all) are connected in a way that allows you to use or bring a car, and that gives you thepossility of travelling at your own speed and take any road you like.


When travelling in Europa, please don't forget about Denmark! As you can see on that website below, Denmark is a magnificent country, filled with VERY old culture, and if you like a small country surrounded by beaches or the sense of history, go take a look at some very well preserved Danish castles....or even better yet, stay a few days at one of them.





I wish you a safe journey!|||The classical way to enjoy Europe has been getting a rail pass and let your whims take you on any given day.





Recently though, it has been more cost-efficient and convenient to hop on Europr's many value airlines, some of which offer 1 Euro one way tickets to all kinds of obscure European locations.

What cheap ways are there to travel on the tube?

I travel from Slough to Russell Square everyday, and i pay daily for a travel card which costs me abt 拢17. Are there any other cheaper ways to travel? As i am not in a zone so its costs more and Oyster doesn't benefit so much.|||absolutely bull!





don't believe Bridget ! Oyster prepaid isn't valid on national rail so oyster isn't your best option.


A season ticket with rail,underground included is your best bet.|||Buy a season ticket|||Well, if you only go into London and then back out once per day, you're wasting money with a daily travel card -- you'd be better off buying individual fares each way. The travel card gives you unlimited travel in the zones you buy it for, so you're paying much more than two one-way fares would cost.





Oyster card is too much? Really? I don't know the current cost, but the monthly rate is almost always better than the same number of daily travel cards...|||Try buying a travel pass of some kind.|||Sneak on.........|||Getting an Oyster card and putting pre-pay on it is the cheapest way to travel by tube, rail and bus within London. I would get an Oyster card and put 拢50 on it. It is not time-limited and you get the cheapest available fare whenever you use it, and there is a daily limit on how much you can be charged. Once you've spent up to that limit the rest of that day's journeys are free (you still have to swipe your Oyster card).





The expensive part is your journey in from Slough by rail outside London. Buying a season ticket may work out cheaper than daily travel cards. Some employers offer interest free loans to help you buy an annual season ticket.





You could save a lot of money by getting an Oyster card, then travelling in on the tube from Heathrow or which ever end of the tube is nearest to you. But that will take a lot longer, so only you can decide if it is worth it to you.|||A season ticket, i work on the Railway, and if there are any problems delays etc you are entitled to refunds which you only get on season, and you can aslo use it for recreation,when your off work etc|||Travel on the tube...watch a travel channel!

How far does it travel during the second second?

Starting from rest, a boulder rolls down a hill with constant acceleration and travels 4.00 during the first second.


How far does it travel during the second? How fast is it moving at the end of the first second? How fast is it moving at the end of the second second?|||At the end of the first second the speed is the distance traveled divided by the time so 4/1= 4m/s or 14.4km/h





If it accelerated from 0m/s to 4m/s in 1s the the acceleration= 4m/s^2 (4/1) or 14.4km/h^2





If the acceleration is constant then in 2 seconds it will be going 8m/s (4x2) or 28.8km/h

How much would it cost to travel around South America?

My friend and I are planning to go travelling around South America next year and want to go to every country. Does anyone know how much it would cost to pay towards the trip? Also, I would like to travel for about four months. Is that enough or would I need to travel a bit longer?|||I think over 2700USD|||It would really depend on several factors. Such as if you will be staying in 5 star hotels or the cheaper hostels. Or if you are planning on eating at nice resturants or on the side of the road at the street vendors. Also if you are going to be travelling by bus, taxi, rented car, or just hitching like alot of the backpackers do. And how long you plan on the trip taking. If you can provide this information I can give you a better estimate of how much. By the way I do not think 2,700 dollars is going to be enough unless you plan on really roughing it (i.e. hitch hiking, street vendor food, and hostels or camping out).|||How much this type of trip costs is very difficult to answer because it is completely dependent on what you plan on doing, where you plan to stay and what countries you hope to visit. This was something I was very keen to learn before I went, and from experience I found that 拢1000/month was a decent ball park figure. This is not exact but as a rough guide it worked well for me. Again, it is completely dependent on where and what you are going to do.





You mention that you want to travel to every country in South America within 4 months. Unfortunately, I think that unless you will be flying everywhere, it will bevery difficult to do this unless you rush through the entire continent on a big budget.





The best method would probably be to plan a route designed around the main countries, landmarks and activities that you wish to visit. Remember the longer you are in one place the more you will get a feel for it, so some would prefer to stay longer in one place as opposed to rush around and fit in as many places as possible. However, on the contrary some people like to visit as many places as possible. You will only find this out through experience.





The price of flights to the continent vary between destination and departure points. If you are flying from the US or the UK and are younger than 26 years old, then may I suggest you search the STA Travel website for flights. They offer excellent prices for those aged under 26.





If you are after more information on some amazing places to visit, the best way to book hostels and internal flights and ideas on what to take then feel free to visit my website at www.travel-south-america.co.uk|||Oh my!! That's a BROAD subject!!





You can do it for next to nothing, and you can do it for a LOOOOT of money! It depends so much on what countries you'll be spending most time in, and which activities will you be undertaking. There are some that are total budget killers, like:





* Galapagos Islands


* Easter Islands


* Machu Picchu


* Angel Falls


* Carnavals of Brazil


* All sorts of adventure sports activities





That being said, those places are also places NO ONE wants to miss, so it's something you got to consider.





Then there are these semi-expensive places to see:


* Nazca lines


* Torres del Paine


* Iguaz煤 Falls


* Rio de Janeiro


* Colca Canyon


* Jungle tours


... and there are many many more.





Another budget slasher is flights, but also looong bus rides in luxury seats (and I don't recommend you to try to save money there) - which you cannot possibly avoid if in South America - it's either that or flights.





I recommend you to do some reading at http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinations - it's a brilliant info source.





So, it's hard to pin a price on a trip. Spend lots of time in Chile or Venezuela or Brazil and your money flies away, spend a lot of time in Bolivia, Peru and Argentina and it lasts you a good while! The rest of places are pretty mid-range.

What is the cheapest way to travel & stay in Amsterdam?

Me %26amp; a friend are planning a 4 day holiday from the UK to Amsterdam soon. We want to travel and stay for as little as possible. We are probably going to travel there by coach then stay at a hostel. Is this the cheapest way and does anyone have any experience/tips for travelling %26amp; sleeping rough?|||Check out Couchsurfing.com It may be cheaper than a hostel and much nicer. Plus you will meet some locals, which is always a big help.


Hostels are cheap, but some come with restrictions and lock outs or fill up so make reservations if you can. Eating cheap in Amsterdam is easy and you'll have tons of choices. Check out the Albert Heine (AH) markets for already made meals, sandwiches at much less than in a eatery. Beer and cokes are about a quarter the price in AH than any of the little shops or snack bars.


Have fun!|||I am not sure about travelling but for hostels you should check TheGlobe which seems to be the cheapest.

How far do you travel on your 49cc scooter?

I am a photographer and I have been looking into getting a 49cc scooter for a while because of gas and insurance concerns. I have been told that scooters are great for getting around small towns but not in large cities (I live in Tampa, Florida.) If anyone here owns a 49cc scooter, how far do you travel a week in miles and how much do you spend on gas? I am looking to travel more than 50 miles in a week's time. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!|||A 50cc scooter won't keep up with traffic very well. It will probably do 30mph full speed which doesn't make it very usable.


I am not a speed freak and once in the distant past I did Venice/London (and back! 1600miles) on a tuned up 50 that did 60mph.


I would say get a 125cc. In the end you will consume less gas than a 50 as you won't be thrashing it around so much and also it'll be safer as you'll get out of traffic's way when needed.


I don't know if you get them in the USA but over here you can get 200cc (piaggio) that use LPG/gas.


They do 360 miles a gallon and with LPG costing half the price of petrol it means they are cheap to run!


Also, they do 95mph when switched on to gas, easy cruse at 80mph.|||I own 3 49cc scoots. I average about 1,000+ miles per month when the weather is nice. My 49cc 4 stroke scooter has been modified and still averages 80MPG. It can run just find on 87 octane, so it's very cheap to operate. The 2 stroke scooters I own are faster, but they burn more fuel. I ride in small cities, towns, and in the country. I've never rode in a big city, but I can't really see why it would be a problem.|||well they get about 50-70 mpg...so ud use 1 gallon a week if u only go 50 miles......problem u will have will avoiding all the idiotic drivers in tampa:).......cas top speed on the moped will b like 35......good luck|||They usually get about 60-75 MPG. I travel about 8 miles round trip a day. So 50 miles is not out of the queston. I usually fill up about every week and a half or so.|||You can go for travel in a 49cc scooter.|||It's a very economical form of transportation.

Is it cheaper to travel in Europe using a tour or individually?

I am studying abroad this summer in Greece and want to travel to other countries after my class is done for a couple of weeks (8-14 days). Is it cheaper to use a tour company like EF College Break tours or just travel by myself? Would it be better to spend more time in one country or a few days in lots of places?|||I personally would just do it on your own, unless you aren't comfortable with that. It's what I do, and will be doing in just a few more weeks. I will be teaching in Italy for a few days, then have another week on my own to explore. I prefer to make my own plans, but that's just me, and I feel like it's cheaper--but also more open to spontaniety and things off the beaten track.



But not everyone is comfortable with that, I know. Some like to know all the arrangements have been made for them, and that they have a place to sleep everynight all planned out in advance. If you are totally inexperienced and comfortable doing this alone, by all means use the agency!



I'm more travel-by-the-seat of your pants. Many countries have tourist offices right at the train stations to help you find accommodations. They are VERY helpful. The public transportation systems in Europe are really great--they go almost everywhere, so you will be fine on your own as far as getting around.



As far as staying in one country or traveling about--again, that's up to you and your personality. If you are traveling alone, however, you have the option of visiting a city and if it doesn't hold your interest or you feel you've "seen it all" you can move on. With a tour package you might be obligated to so many nights in the city. So that's something to consider when making the decision of booking with the agency.



I like to hit every spot I can, and hope that someday I will be able to come back and really spend time at the ones that interest me, especially if this is probably a once-in-a-lifetime trip. See as much as you can see--and wear comfortable shoes!



If you do feel a bit uncomfortable at traveling around on your own, then it might be a good idea to stay in one town, especially if it's one of the bigger ones. See all the sights, and then take day trips to other interesting places if you have the time.



Another good thing about traveling on your own-you meet more people that way. With others along, you have a tendency to hang out only with them and not venture too far from the safety of the group. But if you are on your own, you will soon find out that you NEED someone to talk to occasionally!



Just have fun! I know you will!



Poppet|||use a company. even if you might find better prices on your own (when you are free to compare and choose where to stay), Europeans are usually tricky when it comes to lonely foreign travelers. for instance, you might get ripped off money by cab drivers or in hotels, just because you're on your own and you're not European. also, a company might get you a deal when it comes to plain tickets and so on, while on your own you there's no chance you can get that. so it's safer to travel with a company and I'm pretty sure that when you draw the line it's cheaper on the long run.|||Back in the early seventies I hitch-hiked throughout Europe using that as a major source of getting around. I don't know if I would recommend that to anyone today, but back then the people I met were warm, friendly, and helpful. Spending more or less time in a country depends upon what you want to see. Remember, Europe as a whole is smaller than the United States, so it's quicker and easier to go from one country to another within a short span of time. If you're going to Italy, I suggest going down to the end of the boot to Brindizi and there catch a ferry to cross over to Greece. It's a good way of getting to see both countries. Rome is breathtaking, and so is Athens.|||A tour can save you money and makes planning your trip much easier but unless it is a independent tour you could lose spontaneity. If you were to put the same trip together as offered in a tour...same hotels, sites to visit, transportation it could cost more however if you are willing to look for ways to save (i.e. less expensive hotels) it might not cost you anymore to do it on your own. What ever you do don't try to do too much. You want to come away with good memories and experiences and it not just be a blur. Anyway be sure to post your question on the message boards at Frommer's; it is a site dedicated to travel so you are bound to get some good ideas for your trip.



Hope you have a wonderful time. Enjoy!|||I am in the same position you are. I will be going to London, but I definitely want to do about 12 days on my own before the program starts. None of my friends are willing to come with, as traveling to Europe is not cheap. I'm not afraid about traveling on my own through Europe, but it definitely concerns my parents, especially since I am there 'little girl.'





I've been to Europe before and I did it with a tour group - and we took in A LOT of sights. This is primarily why I would like to travel on my own this time around. My tour went all across the continent so I've taken in a lot of the main sights. I want to be able to do my own thing this time around, so that hopefully, when I'm older I can come back to the places I've already been to and stay there for a longer while to really take in the cities of Europe.





The tour was definitely a nice way to get oriented to being in Europe, but a lot of times, there's a lot of things I would have liked to change. I would recommend, if you've never been to Europe before to consider going with a tour. It'll take away the worries of having to reserve hotel and transportation for you. The only downside is that they might use coaches as their primary form of travel, which can utilize good sightseeing days in place of travel days. If you have been to Europe before and know what to expect, then break out on your own a little and have an adventure :)





How much you save by doing a guided tour and traveling on your own is completely up to you. With a tour, there might be additional excursions available to you, but at an extra cost that you weren't planning on. But, those excursions might be worth if if they get you into places like the Vatican and the Louvre extremely quickly, because tours usually have arrangements to get their groups in while other travelers on their own may have to wait hours to get into museums and such.





I've been doing my research as to how much things will cost me and know what to expect. The better prepared you are will help decide whether it's in your best interest to travel on your own or go with a group.

Go on Craigslist and see if you can share a ride with someone. That would only cost you half the gas. Or maybe someone would take you for free if you do all the driving.

When you are independent, do you work through an established agency for a fee?





Last but not least, if you have any websites that go into good detail, that would be helpful. My husband brought it up and I'm checking it out. Thanks.|||All you have to do is go to your college. You can get either a diploma or a degree, but a degree will better help you to achieve this. I am a travel agent and I graduated in December with my degree. It takes about 2 years, depending on how much time you put into it and how many classes you take. If you want to, you can try to do it between 6 months and a year if you can, but it will be very hard. It will cost you about $10,000 for everything, tuition, books, classes everything. Apply for scholarships, especially if you had great grades in high school. I kept a 4.0 GPA throughout my academic history, and scholarships and grants got me through college and whatever was left over was like a gift, to do as you wish with. I must have gotten refunds of up to $3000 in that first year. It's easy, just apply for Financial Aid. Good luck and I wish you well. You can do it.

Hey guys, I want to travel around europe for a while but have no idea how, it seems pretty scary...





How would someone go about doing this? I've heard people going somewhere and getting a bar job or something to pay for them going somewhere else, but what if there's no jobs or you can't afford a place to sleep?





If anybody can think of good ways to travel without having to save up forever and spend a bundle going to one place, I'd appreciate it.|||You could look into WWOOF-ing. http://www.wwoof.org/ (Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms)





It's going from place to place and doing garden/farmwork for people in exchange for a place to sleep and meals. All you have to do then is pay for travel costs.





To my understanding you register and have to go through a background check, and the farms do to, just to make sure everyone involved is as safe as possible.





It might be something to think about if you were intending to stay for a reasonable amount of time someplace, it would give you enough time to get set up in an area and not be spending money while you look for a part time job.

How much would it cost to travel around the world?

Iv'e always loved travelling, and it has always been a dream to travel round the world. You see things on tv like Kat %26amp; alfie on eastenders go off with 拢10 to "travel the world" but in reality, Whats a typical trip like?


How many places would you actually go and how much does it cost? Do people stay in hostels? Isn't it dangerous? Where would you go once you get there?





Thanks, Any tips or previous experience appriciated! |||Have no fear, and you will experience great joys, or your fear will limit you.





Hostels are not dangerous. Look for the hostels in the International Hostel association (if memory serves correctly). The sign is a white circle with a blue triangle, and inside the triangle is a a symbol of a man, a house and a tree. With this symbol they belong to the International association and must keep up with certain standards and practicies.





You're going to need A LOT more than just 10 UK pounds. Don't let some TV show fool you. How do you think the camera crew eats? The show pays for it, and the stars of the show as well.





Understand that if you're going, you're going to have to backpack (rocksack) it going the hostel route, or going the affluent hotel route, which I don't think you have enough money to do that, or you wouldn't be asking here.





There are two ways to travel around the world with little or no money:





1. Work, work, work- save up as much money as you can, then go travel with pleasure. How much money you ask? Well figure out your average daily expenses. (See below)





2. Work as you go. Get under the table restaurant jobs (or any job, this especially applies to Italy) where you won't have to report your income. This can be helping out in a bar, serving drinks, and keeping the tips unreported.





Daily expenses:


20 pounds for food per day


10-20 pounds per day for one night of lodging (hostel)


20 pounds for bus/trane/flight per day (probably more, look for a Eurorail pass to help ease this pain).


20 pounds of souvenirs/gifts/tea/coffee/film/batterie鈥?br>

She has offered to pay for the travel softball cost but before she gets over her head on avg how much does it cost per year to join and be on a travel softball team?|||Depends greatly on the team she joins. I know of some teams who have matching bat bags, shoes, bats, etc who charge as much as $2,500. There are other teams that will only be about $200-$500 dollars for organized teams. If it is a local team that someone is just pulling together, they may charge as little as $30~$40 for uniforms and $25~$30 per tournament. You can check the USSSA or ASA websites for teams in your area.|||well on average about 100 to a 150 dollars depending on where the team is at let people know where she is playing softball.|||Travel costs are based in part on the tournaments and/or league fees that the team is going to play in...in addition to uniform and perhaps insurance. We typically pay up around $250 for about 30-35 games (district tournament plus 4 town tournaments). Any coach will help you with costs in advance of even trying out, to see if you want to move forward. They want to know you are willing to pay (if you don't think it's reasonable, then it's best to not even try out if you get the cost in advance).|||Travel costs are based in part on the tournaments and/or league fees that the team is going to play in...in addition to uniform and perhaps insurance.

How long would it take to travel 120 trillion miles away traveling at the speed of light?

The answers given are contradictory. Please give me the mathematical formula that calculates the speed of light, distance traveled (d) and how long it will take to travel (t) 120 trillion miles? I am not concern with the feasibility of actually making the trip, I am interested in the math.|||time = dist/speed = 120x10^12 miles/1.86x10^5mi/s = 6.44x10^8 secs or approx 20.45yrs|||I advise you to trust your 5th-grade teacher on this one. He or she undoubtedly taught you this formula:





time = distance / rate





"distance" is given as 120 trillion miles; "rate" is the speed of light, 186,282 miles per second.





Any scientific calculator will then give you the answer (which will of course be expressed in "seconds"). Or you can type this directly into the Google search box:





120,000,000,000,000 miles / c





When I do that, Google says:


"20.4133714 years"|||120 trillion miles divided by 186,282 miles per second which is the speed of light u do the math since u are interested in it|||The formula is





distance / speed = time

my friend even did it from tokyo to sendai all within a week.|||buy a used bike|||I did this a few years ago and had a wonderful time.


Travel: do not use domestic flights in Japan, they are really expensive. Buy a JR Rail Pass before you go, you will save a fortune on fares and you can use it on ferries and buses too. You can also use it on all but the fastest bullet train (shinkansen).


There are plenty of cheap hostels in Japan, you can book them online.


Food is cheap and nutritious, as long as you avoid the fancy hotels and restaurants. Just go where the Japanese go.


Don't expect anyone to speak English, learn a bit of Japanese. Find out about customs and how to behave in social situations before you go.


Take cash. Japan is still a cash society.


Do NOT try to hitchhike. Do expect to be stared at. Exercise the same caution and safety measures as you would at home.


Have a great time.|||If you want to keep it cheap don't stay "for a couple of months", every day you stay the money spent adds up.





Food is cheap, ramen places, noodle places, mom and pop small restaurants.


Cheap lodging, hostels, guest houses, park bench.

A good way to travel as work without formal education?

I have little to no obligation or responsibility in the states and id really like to travel. I havnt completed my degree yet, but i really havnt seen anything that will permit me to travel and live in another country. The only program ive seen is the TEFL program, but i think i need a degree to qualify? Any other professions i could get involved in?|||If you don't have a degree there are still possibilities to find work teaching English. These countries do not always require a degree:





* China - the demand here is so great they often overlook the need for a degree.


* Indonesia


* Ecuador


* Czech republic (although you will need a passport from an EU member state to teach here)





You will, however, need a TEFL Certificate to show you have knowledge of the subject and teaching it. Most courses do not require you to have a degree to take the certificate. The TEFL certificate can be taken either in-house or online at your own pace which is a much cheaper option (see http://icalweb.com).





Also, don't forget that you may well be able to find work in countries which normally require a degree.





To get these jobs you usually need to be in the country in person, ideally around the start of the new school year. If you contact as many schools as you can you may well be able to find one which is in need of a teacher and is willing to overlook the degree requirements due to the urgency of getting a native speaker into the classroom!

My guess is that I need to get in touch with the travel agencies that put together the holiday packages that include meals, and make a deal with them to include my restaurant in the package. What I don't know, is how to find out what local (Irish) travel agencies put together these packages for foreign tourists?|||Search the WWW net for tour operators in Ireland and get in touch with them offering some kind of enticement for their travellers. A free starter, and free coffee. and send a sample menu.|||The way it seems to work is that the agencies ask you to do a good price on the meal for their clients and you usually have to slip the coach driver and the tour guide some money when they bring the coach to you.





Check on the web for coach tours in Ireland. You'll find quite a few are run by companies in the UK, as well as in Ireland.





Good luck!|||I guess you start by contacting travel agencies and explain why they should use your restaurant.|||Money talks.

How many days of travel is sufficient to appreciate the beauty of Taiwan without rushing?

I love to explore the culture, street food, places of interest but at a relaxing pace and hate to rush by going out too early everyday and getting back really late. Also, I hate to keep rushing in order to travel to many different places within a day because I like to appreciate the beauty of every country. From my description, how many days do you think would be sufficient for me to travel in Taiwan. I'm looking at 9 days? What are the places that you recommend? |||Hi, This is Pagan Dan's wife answering. He and I lived in Taiwan on and off for five of the past seven years and we feel we've just scratched the surface. What can you do in nine days? hmmm.... Well, you will probably start with Taipei. I lived and taught there for three years. It was great fun riding the MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) and just hopping off at an interesting place, of which there is no shortage. On the Brown Line, go to the end to the Taipei Zoo. While there take the Gondola up the Mountain and stop for tea in the mountainside at one of the many tea restaurants. Explore the town of Muzha one stop back on the MRT. Great food there, too. Hop back on the Brown Line and get off at Zhongxiao Fuxing stop. Explore the back lanes for more great food. Walk north on Fuxing to the shopping mall if you enjoy shopping or seeing a movie (on the 9th or 10th floor). Walk over to Dunhua Road and hit the back lanes again for more great food. Certainly no shortage of fabulous restaurants. You can do similar things on each of the red, blue and orange lines. Two weeks might suffice but in a pinch you might catch the highlites in a week. Go to Danshui, 1/2 hr north of Taipei. It's my most favourite place with it's boardwalk. You can snack as you walk along. Takes about 1/2 hour from one end to the other. There's also Yangminshan Mountain, Chiang Kai Shek Memorial, Dr. Sun Yat Sen Hall, Taipei 101 and more. Go online and check out things to do in Taipei and around Taiwan.





During your 2nd week, you could go down the stunning east coast. Don't miss Taroko Gorge which was 1/2 hr from where we lived in Hualien. Loved it there, too. Then, travel south through the most stunning scenery to Kenting, a local tourist getaway. Over west to Kaoshiang, the 2nd largest city in Taiwan. Continue up the west coast or go inland to Miaoli and/or Nantou Counties. Incredible scenery + Sun Moon Lake. Travelling in Taiwan could be an endless adventure for you. I'd allow a month but two weeks would give you a terrific overview. Enjoy!!! The tourists haven't discovered it yet. And another thing. You'll love the low prices of everything. Food is so inexpensive that we ate out all the time. If you live in N. America, you haven't experienced great Chinese food yet. Taiwan is the best. They also have great Thai food. Don't miss eating those shrimp cakes. Yummy! BTW, make sure to interact lots with the local people. You'll love them. They're so kind, friendly and helpful. Mind you, they also enjoy a free English lesson just by talking to you but it's worth it because you'll be able to learn about their culture if they can converse fairly well with you.|||Pagan Dan's wife has a nice list, but a few errors too.





Skip the Makong Gondola because it's broken (and it was just built too, hmm I wonder why) and they need to spend lots of NT$ + time to clean up that mess.





Taipei is a nice place- but too many overrated tourist traps. Yang-ming shan is definitely overrated- I mean come on, there are thousands of better looking mountains out in the east/central/south part of the island! Then there's Taipei 101 which can be summed up as a tower with a built in mall. That said if your coming over new-years (regular) then check out the fireworks show at the 101.





Oh, and I think the MRT doesn't run to the zoo on weekends anymore, so plan accordingly.|||If you're looking for beauty, you can skip the West coast entirely... that will save you some time.

What is the cheapest way to travel from Amsterdam to Brussels and then on to Luxembourg City?

I'm planning a little adventure. Flying from London to Amsterdam, then somehow travelling from Amsterdam to Brussels. Then from Brussels travelling on to Luxembourg City, and then flying back to London.





Could somebody please tell me the cheapest way to travel from Amsterdam to Luxembourg City via Brussels? If there is a really cheap way that takes a long time any slightly more expensive but quicker alternatives would be welcome too!|||I agree with the first answer. Cheaper options include taking the Eurolines Coach but it'll take hours whereas the train from A'dam- Brussels and Brussels-Lux will only take around 2-3 hours.|||Amsterdam-Brussels you could do by train, that's 39 euros one way. http://www.nshispeed.nl/nl A return ticket via eurolines bus will cost you 35 euros but that's very much dependend on when you travel. A train from brussels to luxembourg city will cost you 35 euros one way. (http://www.b-europe.com/Reizen) A eurolines bus will cost you 17 euros.





Those are the cheapest options I can think of. Personally I'd go by train.

How can I become an international travel consultant?

I graduated with a degree in Marketing and French. Also a fluent Russian speaker, studying German and Spanish.

What is the cheapest way to travel between Germany, France and Spain?

I want to travel in Frankfurt, Cologne, Munich, Marseille, Barcelona, and Madrid. The modes of travel I found were either Eurail Pass or Ryan Air. Ryan air however doesnt land at Marseille. Please help. Also if you have used any of these travel methods, kindly state your experience with them. Thanks.|||cheapest most of the time is by bus however not a desirable mode of travel for many. Ryanair is good (once got a return flight London-Marrakech for 30pounds with them!) however sometimes the airports they use are out of the way, I know for Frankfurt it is. Here is my method for finding the cheapest flights which served me well travelling europe and africa over 3.5yrs.





Go to skyscanner.net or jetabroad.com (these are the ones i used that i found the best but there are many) Check the flights you want and it will list all carriers from cheapest to most expensive. Afterwards when you find the cheapest flight, lets say easyjet, you then go to the easyjet site and see how much they charge. I've found flights that were say 30euro on skyscanner and then on the carriers site are much cheaper, like 15euro, and equally its been the other way around.





skip Barca, people are rude @rseholes, my least fave place in europe (however sagrada de familia is amazing). Madrid is cool though, its spain, barca is not spain, Catalonians suck. Otherwise a good itinery. Germany is my fave country, many good times had there. Try and add in Heidelberg if you get the chance...its awesome





EDIT: Also i'd highly recommend Prague (cheap trains from germany) Prague is a really fun and beautiful city. Bern and lauterbrunnen in switzerland which is on route to marsailles-barca from germany|||Eurolines is the long distance bus operator. They aren't luxury coaches, but they get you places for cheap.





Check in at the train station. I have seen cases when fares are in line with bus tickets. Ask if fares are different a day before or after you want to travel if you're flexible. I've caught 50% discounts by changing my plans by a day or two. But on average trains aren't the cheapest route.





I didn't like the eurail pass. It ended up being more expensive than it would have been for us to travel by local transportation. And it really locks you into traveling in a certain way as dictated by the terms of the ticket - it's just inflexible.





Ryanair and other airlines as mentioned in another great answer offer very cheap flights around europe. Air is probably the best option for longer legs of your trip. Just check the baggage limits. They are often very restrictive. But even with extra baggage charges it's likely you'll find Air the best alternative in many cases (such as your jump from Germany to Spain).





My favorite mode of transportation is just to take local buses and trains along a route made up of reasonably close destinations. It's more fun than missing out on all the scenery at 30,000 feet. I do suggest one route from germany to spain by local train going down through Switzerland (Zurich), through the alps (what a trip on train!! just looking out the window is spectacular), stopping in Northern Italy (Milan), and heading along the French Riviera (Nice, Monaco, etc) on to Spain. I did that trip in reverse order over about 2 weeks, it was great. But you'd need a decent amount of time to make that route.





Enjoy your trip!|||If you麓re looking for the cheapest way,then it麓s of course Eurail Pass

When did the countries start issuing travel and tourist visas?

I am trying to find out more about the history of visas (mostly travel and tourist visas), but I am having no luck.





I want to know:


-Which was the first country to start requiring and issuing visas and when?


-When did most countries start this practice?


-The citizens of which country can travel to the biggest number countries without a visa and the citizens of which country can travel to the smallest number of countries without a visa?|||On 15 August 1888, the Glasgow passport office became the first to issue passports.


European citizens can travel within Europe without a visa.

How fast must he travel for the second half of the trip?

A truck travels 15 mph for the first half of the distance of a trip. The driver wants to average 30 mph for the whole trip. How fast must he travel for the second half of the trip?|||pier_haringsma is correct. You do not need any additional information. Let


D = total distance of the trip


D/2 = the distance the driver has gone so far


T1 = amount of time he took to travel the first half of the trip


T2 = the complete length of time of the whole trip (both halves).





Now, he wants the average ( D / T2 ) to equal 30. His average so far is ( (D/2) / T1 ) = 15.





D/T2 = 30, so D = 30*T2


(D/2) / T1 = 15, so D = 30*T1





D = 30*T1 = 30*T2, so T1 = T2.





So the driver wants the total time for the trip (BOTH halves), T2, to equal the time for the first half of the trip, T1. This means he would have to travel the second half of the trip in no time, which is impossible.|||45mph|||as fast as he can..|||yeah 45mph right?|||45 miles per hour.





Here's why:


Let x represent his speed for the second half of the trip. The average of his speed for the first half and the second half must be 30, so (15+x)/2 = 30. Then just solve for x: 15 + x = 60, so x = 45.|||There's not enough information given to solve the problem. It would be easy if the truck traveled 15 mph for the first half of the time of a trip, wherein the answer 45 would be solved from:





t(15+x)/(2t)=30 and solving for x yields 45.





However, the wording of this problem suggests that the truck travels half the distance at some time and wants the average speed to be 30 mph so the 2nd half of the distance would be covered at a higher speed at a lesser time. The equation for this can then be expressed as:





(15a+bx)/(a+b) = 30 where a is the time traveled at 15 mph and b is the time traveled at some x speed to average 45 mph.





Solving for x then gives:





x = [(15a)/b] + 30





Similarly, solving for b would give:





b = (15a)/(x-30)





In order to solve this problem one must know either the distance to be traveled (in part or in whole) or some element of time (how long the whole trip took or how long the person drove for 15 mph).|||Average rate is equal to total distance divided by total time. If you let d be the first half distance as well as the second half distance, and if you let x be the second half rate, then the time for the first half is d/15 and the time for the second half is d/x. The total time is therefore d/15 + d/x which equals (dx + 15d)/15x. The average rate (which we know to be 30) now equals (2d) divided by (dx + 15d)/15x. When this equation is solved the d's cancel and the resulting equation is 30(x + 15) = 30x. This equation, of course, has no solution. It appears you need more information, such as a specific distance or a specific time for the first half of the trip.|||Infinite. The driver has to double his average and has travelled half the distance, so he used up all the time


which had been needed to do the total distance with the


wanted average speed.

Can travel agents use their miles to purchase tickets for customers without first notifying them?

My friend purchased a plane ticket with this and when he tried to link his frequent flier account with the reservation, the airline told him that he cannot earn miles with this since it was purchased with frequent flier miles. I understand tickets purchased with miles cannot accrue miles, but the travel agent never alerted him that she was going to use frequent flier miles and I don't believe this is standard practice. Is this allowed?|||"If you mean the air miles used to purchase your friend's plane ticket originally belong to the travel agent, yes it is allowed. For many airlines, the dirt cheap air tickets do not earn air miles too, not every ticket is entitled to air miles. For travel agents, using their own air miles to book a ticket for a customer at a low price is one of their ways to make a profit and there is nothing wrong with it."





This is completely wrong. By taking money and then using his or her miles to book the ticket, the travel agent is selling awards, which is explicitly in violation of the terms and conditions of nearly every single frequent flier program operating throughout the world today. Not only is this practice bad for the seller -- the airline may choose a number of penalties for the account holder, including the forfeiture of miles or the closure of the account altogether -- but the buyer of the ticket can be penalized as well.





The airline, under the terms of the frequent flier program, usually has the right to terminate the award ticket if they determine that it has been sold in violation of the program's rules. This means that your friend, if it's discovered that he purchased an award ticket, may either not get to go on his trip at all, or if they discover it when he's trying to come home, he may be forced to buy a walkup one-way ticket back home, which could be extremely expensive.





(If either of these things occur, then your friend will only have recourse against the travel agent in trying to get his money back -- the airline's terms are clear that the ticket can be unilaterally cancelled.)





It doesn't matter whether the ticket would or would not have earned miles based on the fare code -- when a person buys a ticket from a travel agent, I venture that they'd have a reasonable expectation that they were buying a revenue ticket, and not just buying an award that runs a risk of being cancelled from under them if the airline questions where the award came from. For that reason, I'd highly suggest that your friend speak to this agent and ask for a refund -- barring that, I'd personally consider filing a chargeback with the credit card company, if a card was used, based on misrepresenation of the item purchased.|||If you mean the air miles used to purchase your friend's plane ticket originally belong to the travel agent, yes it is allowed.

I understand your complaint, and that is why we need to ask a lot of questions before we purchase any ticket, is it refundable, changeable, how much change fees, validity of ticket, can we select our own seats, if it earns air miles - there are many different classes of air tickets and the cheaper it is, the more restrictive it is.|||No, it's not allowed.

How long could sound travel before losing energy?

Sound travels at 1100 feet per second. What distance could it conceivably travel before it finally loses it energy? Is it dependent on how much energy is produced in conjunction with that sound?|||It will be subject to dampening on a continuous basis. Sound waves are dampened according to an inverse square law, where sound level drops as function of the square of the distance traveled.





Amount of dampening depends on the medium it is traveling through.





The dampening will continue until all energy is dissipated - long after you can still hear it. So, the sound will still propagate, or move, through the medium long after you are unable to hear it.





The length of time you will still be able to hear the sound will depend on how much energy the original sound had, and the medium it traveling in.

How long to travel to Mars from the point of view of those traveling?

I've heard that it will take roughly 9 months to travel to Mars. But, time travels faster when farther away from large gravitational fields. How long will it take from the point of view of an astronaut making the trip? What will be the maximum difference in the speed of time from an astronaut on the journey from the speed of time at mission control on earth?|||actually if you only considered time dilatation due to gravity, the clocks on earth would be slower than clocks on a spacecraft which is not in the gravity well of earth





However in this case, time dilation due to speed will be present so the net effect will be that the clocks on the spacecraft will be slower than that on earth.





Escape velocity from earth is 11.186 km/s. Lets be generous and say the space ship can go 10x that. Using the calculations from the website below, time dilatation factor would be 1.0000000696110642 times slower.

How travel time and cost become substitutes or complement?

If we have travel time and travel cost, under what conditions can they be considered as substitues? Under what conditions can they be considered as complements?|||When commuting to work people choose mode of transportation bases on a combination of time and cost, Public transportation or car pooling is cheaper than driving alone but takes more time, so people can substitute one for the other.


Vacation travel requires time so the more time you have for vacations the more money you will spend on transportation for travel, so time and cost will act as compliments.|||In economic terms, 'substitutes' and 'complements' are used when dealing with goods and services only. Since travel time and costs are neither, you're question is probably in the wrong place.





If you want to expand the definition to mean does more of one thing lead to more or less of the other than maybe we can work that out. Travel time and travel costs would be complements of each other since more of one would mean more of the other (e.g. fuel, food, entertainment, opportunity costs).
