Would a general European city scam wiki with all known scenarios suffice to avoid future duplicates?

Here come the influx of questions involving scams travel.stackexchange.com/questions/102518/… Should we not have a general wiki covering the majority of scams out there and adding to them when new ones come along?

If you are just travelling for a relatively short period of time I would leave your pet at home. It is not worth the cost, hassle or risk (if any) Some airlines do allow pets in the cabin for a price. I know BA do. I have even been on flights with cats in carriers. But unless you are emigrating I would not take your pet on holiday with you.

Locals congregate outside my local Primark as well, as they do outside McDonalds. I think this is a teenager/young person social thing. However I think in this instance on Oxford Street they are just taking advantage of somewhere to sit. I cannot think of anywhere nearby to sit. However, bar asking them what they are doing there is no way of getting a definitive answer. I also think it is off-topic.

But being available to moderate, oversee etc even if not doing much requires a large amount of time and dedication. Huge respect to The Moderators!

so its pretty much a full time job? Good Luck to all candidates :)

Hello. May I ask what the role of a moderator is for Travel SE? What is required of them?

@Relaxed It doesn't matter who you are travelling with. Border officials don't care who is in your party. They treat everyone as individuals when passing through borders. By all means have your non EU spouse stand in the same line as EU passport holders. From experience they will have to join the non EU line.

@Relaxed From personal experience, on many occasions, travelling around the EU I have seen non EU passport holders turned away from the EU passport holder line and told to join the non EU passport holder line. The checks in the non EU passport line will be more strict and thorough than that of the EU passport line. Officers may not have the experience or tools in the EU line to deal with non EU passengers. The EU line is rarely asked questions or even checked as the EU is open bordered, hence two separate lines.

@Relaxed the bullet point implies that you have an EU passport and your spouse has a non EU passport. Can she use the same line as you at immigration? My answer is, only if it specifies both non EU and EU passport holders. If not, which I believe is the case is many EU airports, then your spouse will have to stay in line with other non EU passport holders for proper checks.

@Relaxed I was merely answering one of the bullet points in the original question. It all depends on the airport in question. I have seen people being turned away because they have been in the wrong line. Bottom line, in airports, do as you are told. The process is there for a reason.

@Relaxed from my experience I have not seen an airport in the EU that does not have separate lines for EU passengers and non EU passengers.

"My wife is US citizen only, can she use the EU line with us?" No she must use the non EU/other line to check Visa etc.

possible correlation between those who clap at the end of a flight and those who clap at the end of a film?
