Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. We were forced to get off the plane with all our carry on luggage. Did not pass through customs, but was redirected to another security check point, and then reboarded the plane. I suspect the individual at the embassy that I spoke to did not have the correct information. In addition, Brazil has pushed their e-visa requirement back to April 2024,
  2. We flew FlyBondi yesterday. Went very smoothly from arriving at airport to loading and p/u luggage on arrival and they provided a sanwich, chips cookie and non alcoholic drink.
  3. Not what I was told by the embasy when I inquired, but interesting in reading your comment. That said god forbid if your plane has a problem and you have to sit in the unserviced space awaiting a new plane or crew who had timed out.
  4. Learned yesterday that the Brazilian Government has moved the e-vias requirement back to April 2024. What a waste, other than they are good for 5 years.
  5. Great to hear. We are on the Jan 15 World Traveller and will be spending five days in BA before doing the charter. We have packed our "Antartica Bag" and have included a smart tag. Hopefully it does not get left in Toronto Ontario. We learned last spring on a trip to Baltic, two of our bags missed the connection flight. Because we were able to tell lost baggage exactly where they were (T2 in Paris) and had pictures we had taken before the flight, they were returned to us in about 40 hours. Make sure you make a lost baggage claim with the airline for appropriate compensation.
  6. our e-visas have arrived. Many individuals have indicated that they don't believe they are necessary if you stay in the international area of the airport. Will update you after we arrive in Buneos Aires on January 10th if they were requested at boarding in Toronto; landing & departure from Brazil.
  7. Well done. Learned more about out upcoming Jan 15, 2024 cruise then found out on this board for the last 16 months of planning. Thanks especially for the clothing comments (as partner loves to overpack) and to leave the suitcases and not take them on the tour.
  8. and Atlas could fix it in about 10 minutes or less by updating their boiler plate response sheet.
  9. for those who were wondering about the Brazil E-Visa the application form is now live.
  10. Went to the Fly Bondi site and it states international carry on luggage is 10 kilos (22 pounds)
  11. Will do trip report as we normally due after on Cruise Critic. Check out the lead story on the news page of Cruise Critic today.
  12. Atlas is at it again. Recieved boiler plate letter today with a maximum of 17 lbs for the carryon. Wish they would fix thier boiler plate. Truley unprofessional.
  13. good question. hopefully travellers will shar their experience.
  14. Snow machine boots generally have felt liners.
  15. most days there are two sessions, one mid afternoon and one early evening.
