Posted: 2007-03-26 11:42:34I am travelling to the USA for the first time and need help. Am going to be in New York for end of March and would like information on what to see or do.
My friend told me about Empire states building but said that I might have to be in lineup for
many hours. Any body been to NYC? Also anybody know how to get upgrades for flying?
Many people have said that all you have to do is dress like you are a business person and then ask for an upgrade. Anybody have any tips.
I also found these tips: Zoobat.Com anybody tried these? |

Posted: 2007-06-22 20:41:06I traveled to New York Years ago. The Empire State Building doesnt usually have that bad of a line up, Its the elevators and the switching of them to get to the top that takes a bit. Its the Statue of Liberty that has the line ups. I visited the island and wanted to go to the top of the statue but there was a 7 hour wait. But visiting the island is just as great. Central Park is another great place to visit. However be wary of the small resturants. I ate at a few near Central park becuase they were cheap and they had rats and cockroachs. The museums there are amazing. You should visit them. I wasn't there long enough to really suggest great places to visit. Hope you have a great trip tho. Its a great place! |

# Sign up for the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program so the State
Department can better assist you in an emergency: Let us know
your travel plans through the Smart Traveler Enrollment
Program, a free online service at
https://travelregistration.state.gov. This will help us contact you
if there is a family emergency in the U.S., or if there is a crisis
where you are traveling. In accordance with the Privacy Act,
information on your welfare and whereabouts will not be
released to others without your express authorization.
# Sign passport, and fill in the emergency information: Make
sure you have a signed, valid passport, and a visa, if required,
and fill in the emergency information page of your passport.
# Leave copies of itinerary and passport data page: Leave copies
of your itinerary, passport data page and visas with family or
friends, so you can be contacted in case of an emergency.
# Check your overseas medical insurance coverage: Ask your
medical insurance company if your policy applies overseas, and
if it covers emergency expenses such as medical evacuation. If it
does not, consider supplemental insurance.
# Familiarize yourself with local conditions and laws: While in a
foreign country, you are subject to its laws. The State
Department web site at
http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1765.html has
useful safety and other information about the countries you will
visit.
# Take precautions to avoid being a target of crime: To avoid
being a target of crime, do not wear conspicuous clothing or
jewelry and do not carry excessive amounts of money. Also, do
not leave unattended luggage in public areas and do not accept
packages from strangers.
# Contact us in an emergency: Consular personnel at U.S.
Embassies and Consulates abroad and in the U.S. are available
