This is not for Global. It is to become a US Citizen

I need to provide to immigration past 5 years history of my international travels. I travel at least monthly. Any suggestions how I can gather this information?
Passport stamps.
Check your email for the etickets.
Your FF programs should have records of your flights.

Go thru a list of all counties and recognize if you were there, I'd assume it's not an issue to also add somewhere you went more than 5 years ago too

This probably not include travel that does not have the US on the itinerary (say from London to Paris), because he has a foreign passport and the US would have no way of knowing about it.

You don't need that information when applying for US citizenship.

I know people who have used it for this purpose.

Need advice regarding EVA air with luggage please.

I wonder if anyone can tell me how to handle.
I booked an award ticket with Eva air. JFK-TPE-PNH.
I want to change the second leg to SGN. They don't allow changes and don't allow discarding the last leg.
I can cancel and rebook, but currently there aren't any seats available. It's a risk I don't want to take. We are 4 passengers.
I'm open to booking a new flight from TPE-SGN, but I'm worried that:
A. They wouldn't allow me to take my luggage out in TPE.
B. They will not let me board at JFK if I don't have a Visa to Cambodia.
C. If I book another flight out of TPE with the same airline, they might cancel it because of a double booking.

What do I do?

When checking-in for (Includes Travel Operated by Harbour Air, EuroAtlantic Airways, booked with miles on United) such a flight in TLV which airline do I look for ? Google search tells me Harbour Air does not leave from Tel Aviv.

If flying TLV-WAW, it would be Lot Polish

Looking to book a United flight, where the cash price is 300 for basic economy, or 40k miles which I'm assuming gives me reg economy. I have the United Explorer card and was wondering if my card would give me the benefits I lose out on by choosing basic economy like first bag free etc. I would prefer to choose the cash option as using my chase points with my Sapphire card it will come out significantly cheaper but if I won't have checked bag etc I'll do miles. Anyone?

You have to pay for the United flight with the explorer card to receive the checked bag, carry on, and priority boarding benefit.
120 characters? Hmm, I wonder what I could write with 64 characters. Boy, it's gonna be hard to use up 15 characters. W-

If booked with UA miles, free changes and cancellations. (Plus fare difference obviously)

I have an elal to FRA scheduled to arrive at 9:45am
I booked a united from FRA leaving at 1:50pm but there’s an AA from FRA non stop leaving at 10:50am and I have no luggage. I would love to book that as a first choice and then cancel the united if I see I’m going to make the 10:50 and if I see I won’t make it then I’ll cancel the AA
How close to a flight (aa booked with Alaska - and united booked with plus points) can I cancel and redeposit the miles?

For both, it should be up to takeoff (maybe gate close), the risk is what I had a number of times, you go to cancel online and for whatever reason, it doesn't allow, and need to call in. And then wait on hold. You could maybe check this before and take it to the step right before you actually cancel.

I just booked 4 tickets on Emirates, 3 of them through the Capital one travel portal and one through the Citi  booking portal. For some reason on the capital one portal it did not charge me any taxes or fees (only the base fare) and Im trying to figure out why and if i can do the same for the one i booked on citi.The capital one tickets were for one adult and 2 children so I'm guessing instead of giving a lower child fare, they just wrote it as base fare only for all 3? Anyone can explain this?

What type of snow will seriously disrupt ORD? Have a flight landing Wednesday night and it seems 4-8 inches is expected there that day. Trying to figure out if I should reschedule for another day.
