The road to India and Nepal

Thank the gods for Start Alliance! In an effort to book all round trip tickets I had to break up my flights into segments. Like this I was going to have to claim my luggage in Amsterdam and recheck it in my Lufthansa flight with a three hour lay over. Since I always use Star Alliance I was able to check all my bags all the way through to St Petessburg and did not have to pay Lufthansa for my extra bag. Feels good to get one over on the airlines with this bullshit paying for bags issue. As we know I had the privilege of spending 16 hours in the Petrsburg airport on my last arrival due to a visa issue. This was the first test of the new visa at the airport and I was happy to have no problems this time.Läs mer
