I have an autoimmune disease so i likely have to wear a mask forever when I travel post covid, which sucks. I travel for work all the time. no, I dont enjoy wearing a mask for a 12 hour flight...I dont enjoy it on a 2 hour flight, but i have no choices here. What makes it suck worse is the nonstop staring and judgement i get for it. So. The next time you see someone masking ease up please. They dont wanna do it, they likely have to. Please. I'm begging you. -the only person wearing a mask in Munich Airport during Oktoberfest (its a work trip, seriously though)
Hi guys!
One year ago I did a roadtrip between Botswana, Zimbawe and Zambia with a group of friends. During a (long) stop at the border with Botswana, I met a guy which was the local guide of a tour operator and we had a really nice talk, so we exchanged numbers to keep in touch.
Over the last 12 months, he wrote me every 4/5 weeks asking how I was doing and sending pics of his country to which I replied sending pics of my trips. Around 3 months ago he told me that he lost his job - but he has never asked for money.
Today he wrote saying that he is stuck in Namibia and needs some money (c. 55usd) to go back to Botswana. He said that he was there for a job but in the end they canceled and now he is in a foreign country with no money e no way home. He has accomodation until friday and then he should find (pay) a way back.
I asked for the location and he is actually in Namibia (he was very fast at replying so I trust him on that), but of course the situation is a bit tricky and I think it's a scam. I told him that I'm generally against these kind of thinks but that I will think about it and let him know tomorrow.
What would you do in my shoes? 50$ for me is not much, but at the same time sending money in Africa with no visibility on how they will be used - which it's not ideal
Thanks in advance for all the advice!!
So my girlfriend is in Japan with a group of friends right now and is meant to fly back home to Australia this Monday however when they booked the flights one person made the booking for everyone. That "friend" who made the booking has had a falling out with everyone and is not communicating with them.
Is there any way to get your boarding pass if you aren't able to check in under the person who booked the flight or is it ok to go to the airport with your passport and know which flight you need to check in for and your name is the only proof?
