Vinny misplaces his passport the first time - and it ended up
where? How did it get reconnected to him?
Have you ever
misplaced your passport AT the airport? Vinny's did at FRA - and
what happened after that is absolutely bananas.
What
should you copy and keep with you and checklists if you lose your
passport.
Your passport expired but what happens with
active visas?
Say cheese - passport photos.
It's not just lost passports that need to get
replaced.
How many American passports are lost/stolen
per year?
How strong is your country's
passport?
Flying fish with ANA and meal selections from
the EU. Bibimbap as an food option to ICN while in
economy.
New $4 billion renovations open at LGA. New
$1.8 billion terminal in MCT.
The wild ride with WOW,
Iceland Air, and Indigo - possible intercontinental ULCC
possiblities?
Shoutout and a request for our listeners
- how is the ANA flying fish?
