yeah, we both have plenty of passport stamps, this woman wouldn't even look. We are the same, been questioned on other airlines everytime for not having a onward ticket, visa produced,,, ok no problem.
yes, had a visa printed, the check in woman refused us to speak to anyone else. My wife had to book a cheap flight to siam reap in the end. The check in woman originally wanted her to book a return flight back to UK! In the end, they just about, begrudgingly accepted the short flight out. I don't think they would have accepted a bus ticket. The check in woman was threatening to call security on me, just for argueing the point. We both travel regular, have another home in phuket. Although unlikely with Qatar again. It's not so much the money, it's just wrong.😡
charges,, its all bank charges through overseas banks, usually with lower exchanges rates aswell. A Thai bank is very convenient if you spend a fair bit of time there.
My wife and I both hold dtv, I travel back to London to work, so i have a 90 day travel insurance. I do my wife's health insurance through AXA, its about £100 per month.
