@mk KLM: "for most flights within Europe you only pay EUR 15 (airport price: EUR 30) for a suitcase (of up to 23 kg)" - wow "only" #travel

mk zoowar

@zoowar that makes some sort of crazy sense - but hard to navigate for a "beginner". Baggage has become idiotic - KLM will now charge €15-30 for up to 23kg of checked baggage; hand baggage free up to 12kg (1 bag+1 accessory) - at le…

@zoowar ah - and of course you never know when which carrier has met its goal... and then there are costs (possible) for checked and carry-on baggage to take into account! #travel #donotpaymorethanneeded

@mk surprisingly, earlier departure date yields lower prices (unsold seats get cheaper?) - maybe I should wait a few days to find a cheaper flight+longer Istanbul stay combination ;) #travel

inserting myself into the surreal world of airline tickets, where you can pay €1000 extra for a detour and 12-hour transfer... #travel

mk Today I Learned...

!til about shuttle busses to/from Istanbul's airports (IST on the European side, SAW om the Asian side, where many low-bedget airlines land): in 2011 we used Havaş shuttle bus because we arrived too late to catch the metro which stop…

I'm soooo tempted to stay longer than a week in #Istanbul - life isn't expensive there, and it might be great to also relax there after a long and busy trip... should I? shouldn't I? #travel

mk Time Zone Appropriate Farewell , the federated universe

Good night !tzaf !fediverse! More #travel (preparation) adventures #tomorrow :)

mk

now I'm very #confuzzled - looking at a room listing where the weekly price is *higher* than 7x the daily price for that period. #huh? #travel

mk beer

big salad and a !beer - and then I'll look (more) at rooms in Istanbul and a flight back from there; flight options and pricing may determine how many (more) days I stay in Istanbul #traveljigsaw #travel

yay - lodging in Veliko Tarnovo booked, too! (Do look that up, it's interesting :)) 5 down, 4 to go! #travel

mk

Yay, another one: 4 down, 5 to go (#Airbnb bookings for my trip) #travel - enough for today!

Yay! confirmed bookings for 2 more cities - 3 down, 6 to go... :) #travel

painfully, slowly, gathering the photos I have used and want to use as profile photos / avatars - spread over many different folders on Marie - using a USB thumb because I still don't have Samba networking working properly :-/ #identity #travel

yay! basic travel schema complete (with wiggle rom, and a space of about 2 weeks to fit start date in); now I will need the services of the train travel shop for prices and reservations, and set up an airbnb account for reservations a…

@mk this also boggles the mind: "As of 2012, there were 8.7 million internet hosts in the country and around 8 million internet users." Romania, a nation of internet hosts, I guess. ;) #travel

reading about Romania: "Summer is not the best period for doing business as many companies go into hibernation" what? #easons #travel

mk

researching public (and religious) holidays and school vacations in 6 countries for my #travel planning - quite a lot in April-May!

mk

I have *almost* figured out an itinerary for my upcoming trip! will have to check with the train travel shop #tomorrow or Saturday and then I should be able to start reserving rooms/appartments to stay :D It's like a BIG jigsaw puzzle…

It's taking a lot of time, but slowly I'm finding good accommodation options in the cities I want to visit. One problem is I still don't know when I can leave - should know more by the end of the week. #travel #homework
