--- Quote from: noemann on April 22, 2014, 02:13:05 PM ---I didn't have any problems with my luggage. I read the rules on the Airline web site. US Airlines typically allow two carry on bags (a briefcase and small luggage or a handbag and small luggage) plus one cargo item. I bring games with me in my carry on and I have never had a problem.
sebboh, where in Europe do you call home? Ireland?
I ask because I am seeking an English CIB of SNES Whirlo. I only ever see Italian or Spanish and those markets are WAY too high in price.
I have read somewhere that an English version is supposed to be in existence. My Fiancee and I have seen a cartridge photo that appears to be UKV. Anyway, I am wondering where you live incase you may be able to locate an English Whirlo CIB for a good price.

Spain, yeah we have a high prices in retro, typical from here "if the retro it's fashio = shut up and rise the price of all the oldies games!" you can see tetris at second hand stores or ebay for 10€ >:( (without box or plastic protector.. only cartridge, on ebay the typical it's a 0,99€ price and 20€ of shipping -_-). Thanks to god that sega always use 1 game for all europe countries until dreamcast (normally i get all my stuff from UK or Germany) and i live far away of the big cities of spain (madrid, barcelona, bilbao, etc) so sometimes you can find decent prices.
About the whirlo few years ago i get one in Lugo for 5€ ;D (only cartridge) and panzer dragoon saga for 15€ in the same store

Regarding the Whirlo cartridge from Lugo: Good find! I've noticed that Spanish and Italian prices are extremely high. I have a Spanish Beauty and the Beast cartridge and I searched ebay for the cart to discover that it sells as high as 70 euro :o for a Disney game? yikes! I thought about selling it on ebay for 15euro but not sure if anyone would buy it. I am happy that you can get games cheaper from other Nations.
Thanks for responding ;D

the best way of get good prices in Spain it's go to cities with old people, now on that Lugo second hand store the owner it's the nephew wich means that before give the price check first in ebay -_- (ebay = god word for them)
KalessinDB:
Like others have said, JetBlue, Southwest, or AirTran (though they might have merged with Southwest?) are all good deals for flights.
That being said: Flights in the US are still really expensive.
My mother worked graduate admissions at the local university, which involved a LOT of international students, and she always told me that it's pretty common for a lot of people from Europe or SE Asia just to not really comprehend the sheer magnitude of the US. Like, you get it intellectually, but you don't really GET it. NYC to Vegas is like Lisbon to Kiev. You basically waste an entire day in travel, even without major layovers.
If you're going to be coming to NYC and looking for other places to go (not that I necessarily recommend it -- NYC is an amazing town with TONS of things to discover, both tourist-y and under the radar), your best bets would be Boston, DC, Toronto, Philadelphia... all pretty close by.

I know the extension of USA, but maybe it's the only opportunity in my life to do that (who knows) so waste 7h on each flight is no problem for me. Last year visited Japan and in Tokyo stayed only 3 days (wasting 4 hours of shinkansen :P) to expend 20 days in Kyoto, Kanazawa, Hokkaido and more places :P. The most determinant factor will be flight cost :P
Perhaps the students were fans of "friends" where they pick the flight tickets the same day and join the plane XD. Anyways the most important part of the thread was to know how are the low cost companies in USA with hand luggage (In Europe Ryanair is very strict), and i think that i don't want to be tazerred using the jacket xD
