Would be so much easier if you just asked what's the best way to fake a plane ticket for visa application (and if it works/is worth the risk).
I'd guess it depends on which country you're applying for.

>>1130060
thanks, for your reply. my question is not only about faking a plane ticket, but about the legal options/background of embassies checking with airlines. as a private person, you can not just call up an airline to ask if someone has a confirmed ticket. at the same time, if you want to do so (for whatever reason), you could just act like you are an employee at an embassy who wants to check a ticket confirmation and get very sensitive data about another person (e.g. in case of burglary etc..)
but yes, i am also interested in the best way to fake a plane ticket.

>>1130071
I'd expect airline companies to have at least an internal policy regarding giving personal information about ticket buyers.
So I don't think they'd just give it to anyone calling them and claiming to be from the government.
I'd expect they'd have set other, not publicly announced ways for governments to contact and get such info. But that's just what I'd expect and do if I were running a company.
As for plane tickets for visa application, you could always just buy a legitimate one that you can cancel and receive a reimburse later after you're done with the visa process.
You'll need to check if the ticket you're buying offers this and how much they reimburse (if 100% or only partial). If it's partial, that'll be the price for getting a visa without resorting to any illegal method.

Where you can go for that price depends on what airport you start from. For example, Hawaii is nice, but I only see $513 fares from San Francisco, and nowhere else (not that I have looked very hard).

Not to hijack the thread, but I have $1200 in travel vouchers from Delta that I need to use by September 7th. Thinking either Brazil, Romania, or India, or some combination of multiple countries. Also have $300 in jetBlue credit.

>>1130083
Why do you have all that credit??

I've only been to Hydra but it was amazing.

Mikonos??? Anyone know anything

None of the above. It's Zakynthos.

Head to the Dox gallery for some art, ][ club for music, sculpture museum for scuputes, communist museum is small but informative, food is cheap anywhere out of the city centre, look up what different exhibits they have in the different Narional Galleries. I've been a few times and really enjoyed it.

Prague is pretty fucking great. Food is cheap everywhere outside of the generic touristy areas, and sometimes within them, generally being of decent quality. Go see some cheap theatre if you're into that sort of thing.

They sell these ice creams that have cones made of a crunchy version of cinnamon doughnuts, and are normally layered with Nutella.

Be warned: if you want to go clubbing, there is this 5-story place, can't remember what it's called. Everything is massively overpriced because all the tourists are directed there.

There's the Jewish quarter, which looks lovely (inb4 4chan and Jews don't mix) architecturally speaking. There's the massive castle visible from many different places in the city, and that gives you a great view of the city itself. There is the Charles' Bridge (i think) with lots of gothic statues, and the Astronomical Clock, which has been going strong for like 400 years and rings on the hour, every hour, from early in the morning to late at night. Also, if you're willing to pay the bus fare, go to Terezin Concentration Camp. It's...well, it's a tourist attraction.

Public transport is the way to go pretty much everywhere. I stayed in an apartment on Namesti Miru, and I could go everywhere I could ever want to go through trams or trains. Tickets are bought through little machines that only accept coins, but you can also get them from the staff (who are unreliable).

Finally, Czech culture, especially food server culture, can be a tad standoffish. This is because they went through 41 years of communism and also the Hapsburg's spy empire, so older generations tend not to be too vocal in public. And food servers, while they still want tips, make exactly zero effort to earn them (at least in my experience). I stayed for two weeks and almost all of them were blunt like a mace. "Can you recommend a good wine?" "No, I don't care enough." "Oh. Cool."

Overall, Prague is a great city. Have fun.

so i should avoid that place, is that what you are saying right?

Eventually you'll have to shit. You've trained yourself to behave this way, so you can untrain yourself too.

Hot liquids in the morning helps loosen the bowels. Of course, it's better if you can shit in a familiar place. I generally only shit in the hotel I'm staying, or in public places if they have clean, quiet private toilets. Take some laxatives with you, if necessary.

I don't have it as bad as you, OP, but I can't shit when there's other people in the room or within earshot. So I usually NEVER shit in the hotel room unless I'm traveling alone. Usually do it in shopping malls instead.

>>1129142
Play some angry birds or something.

Depending on where ya heading, you might consider eating at some dank places to maximize the chance of diarrhea, if you're fucked up.

You'll grow used to it over time, though. Being on your smartphone definitely should help though.

It's like several hours away to the UP from the Detroit area, bro. There's nothing to see up there unless you get a hard-on for nature (weirdo). There are a couple of cool history attractions in the Detroit area, though. Have you ever been to Greenfield Village or the Ford Piquette Avenue Plant? Those are worth checking out.

I live in the Detroit area and own a small bit of property in the UP. It's a 5 hour drive to get up there and it is beautiful but there isn't much to do unless you are a fan of outdoorsy things. Camping, fishing, hunting. It's very much small towns broken up by huge patches of forest.

as a matter of fact.....I'm looking for the sort of place to build my unibomber-esque cabin.

Ayy, I'll be in Bulgaria/Romania for the last two weeks of August before I head to Hungary & Poland to meet friends. My itinerary, as of now, looks like:
Sofia - 3 days
Veliko Tarnovo - 2 days
Bucharest - 2 days
Sighisoara - 2 days
Budapest - 3 days
Krakow - 3 days

I'm in a similar position though, anon, still trying to find out more on the countries and some recommendations.

>>1125389
I heard Plovdiv in Bulgaria is very nice. A friend of mine suggested to skip Bucharest,
but I heard mixed stories.

>>1125397
I can recommend Plovdiv.

In india, the locals combined with the tourists made me wish for a comet to hit earth.

Hahaha damn. Didn't realize how douchey India probably is. Plus they bathe in a shit river. Fuck them.

>>1123438
Exactly. Tourists treat the people like fucking safari animals. And the locals actually indulge them.

India, why the fuck do you put up with this shit??

>>1130930
>cheap flight
>denver
pick 1. although the sticky does have a couple good sites you can check out

Yeah, I'm realizing that. It's weird, since so many airlines route through Denver. Still, I'm trying to get there as cheaply as possible. I'm thinking of Spirit Airlines, but I'm cautious of their bag restrictions.

There's a good military museum if you're into that sort of thing

Plus many of the Hapsburg palaces are now museums

Mozart's apartment has been turned into a museum.

I went to Vienna last february and can say that Vienna is a big museum on it's own. If you're into Sissi and the Austro-Hungarian empire your best bets are the Schönbrunn and Hobburg palaces. The Natural History and Albertina museums are bretty good too.

Yes, avoid cities. Because why does everyone just city-hop in Europe.

go see some nazi shit in berlin and warsaw mara also go see what anne franks upto marra

I'm from Amsterdam. What are your interests?

General tips are getting weed from Dampkring and chill in Vondelpark, just walking about the Canals, boat tour of the Canals, walking around the Wallen (red light district).

Amsterdam is not really big, outside of the city centre most is residential.

>>1130634
Make sure you have a good car, and get used to traffic

>>1130658
Pretty sure DC is the only place in the country with worse traffic than Atlanta. Although I'm sure LA is in the mix somewhere too

>>1130658
>get used to traffic
>from DC

As an anon from Northern Virginia, we live and breathe traffic here.

Define reasonable.

Also where do I live in this hypothetical situation?

>>1130605
London

3 weeks with 5000$ ? Hmmm either Usa or Tahiti

I am in Split right now but have no idea what the club scene is like here. Hope you find what youre looking for but if you dont the country is beautiful and there is plenty to see outside of the clubs.

I don't know, buddy, have you tried consulting Google?
