    Foreign credit cards purchases at MEP rate

    That was the kind of thing I was worried about. My friend made the reservation on his account with Emirates and sent me his login info. I logged in as him and paid using my card, so that would be his local address as passenger and my US address as billing. I called Emirates and Capital One...

    Anybody else notice coffee recently not tasting good?

    Any change on entrance requirements to argentina?

    I entered Argentina a week ago. The airline required me to fill out the declaration. I had proof of health insurance. No one checked. I did not get a passport stamp, but later an email saying I can stay 90 days.
