replying to @LindaPeters64 @LindaPeters64 Its about 30 hours flying from London. The first time I went connected in Bangkok and Sydney. The second time I took a more leisurely 6 months to get there. #trlt

@TheTravelCamel @TravelAtWill A4. At khardungla, people ain't allowed to wait for more than 20' as O2 level is less at that height. But owing to land slide & bad weather, my group among others got stuck there. My story: How I spent stuck at Khardung La & lived to tell the tale - https://t.co/54SdmyXjhQ

replying to @LindaPeters64 @LindaPeters64 @TravelAtWill A4: Finding a lounge that will accommodate me when I'm too early by their standards. Or a full lounge like in Doha on that long trip. Too many people using Lounges these days #TRLT

A4: I missed my connecting flight from Vilnius, Lithuania, to Dhaka, Bangladesh, in Kiev, Ukraine. I had to stay 2 days in Kiev until the next flight, which I loved. Impromptu visit that was a welcome bonus in 2013. #TRLT

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @CaitlinKellyNYC Yes! Most don't realize that at all. One weird thing though is that when flying U.S. domestic, I don't get Lounge access, but when I fly international on partner carriers the same status gives me Lounge access. I get it, but it's weird. #TRLT

A5 If you're going by train, take a good book! @HMatthews recommends THE WRITER'S TALE by Russell T Davies. Also: take toilet paper (not a direct alternative to books, you know what I mean...) #TRLT @LindaPeters64

A5 #TRLT Do your homework on the area & transportation. Know your options & try to figure out what your alternatives are if something goes wrong.

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @LindaPeters64 A5: Pack light. Use hotel laundries. Build in down time. Budget 10-15% more than you plan. And be sure to say 'yes' to impromptu opportunities to learn about where you are! #TRLT
