I am checking the Belgian rail website for traveling to Lille. I get two options in Lille: Lille Europe and Lille Flandres.  What is the difference between these two stations? I suppose location, but is one served by more trains than the other? Do all trains stop in both? Are they completely unrelated meaning some trains go to one, others go to the other?  Which one should I pick to    Be near to the center? Get transport to the airport?

Lille has two main train stations, Lille Europe and Lille Flanders. (Gare de Marchandises Saint-Saveur is no longer a station, and instead hosts art exhibitions and the like). Lille Europe is the new station on the high speed lines between London / Paris / Brussels, while Lille Flanders is the original station now used for a mixture of local and high speed trains.  For some rail journeys, changing trains in Lille is the best option (avoiding having to cross Paris to change trains), and for others it's the only option. Sometimes you get lucky and both trains use the same station in Lille, but not all.  For the cases when you find yourself needing to change between Lille Flanders and Lille Europe stations, what's the connection like? Does it take long? Is it outside / inside? Is it a faff with luggage, or is there a step-free route for most of it? Are you best to walk, or take public transport? And a lower concern, is there anything interesting to see of the town during the transfer?

When I look at the map (linked below) it seems that I can go directly from CDG to Gare Montparnasse on the RER B3 line, but when reading posts it seems that many transfers would be needed.      Is it possible to go directly from CDG to Gare Montparnasse with out transferring trains? If not what path would I need to follow?

I purchased a ticket to Brussels via Amsterdam on KLM, with the Schiphol to Brussels-Midi portion on the Thalys.  The return portion of my itinerary is on Air France several days later.  This was done in good faith (i.e., not as a fare dodge) since I really do need to go to Brussels.  However, it now turns out that I have a meeting in Amsterdam the day I arrive.  I realise I am required to board the train to Brussels to fulfill the terms of my KLM ticket, and that I will need to get my ticket stamped on the Thalys in order to board my return flight.  What I want to know is where and when this takes place, since I need to return to Amsterdam. Will I need to ride the train all the way to Brussels, or can I get my ticket stamped and then disembark in Rotterdam or Antwerp?  Alternatively, is there any possibility of getting my KLM Thalys ticket issued for a later train, so that I can attend my meeting in Amsterdam before heading to Brussels?  NOTE: Some users have marked this question as duplicate.  Be assured that I read other Thalys/KLM questions others carefully prior to posting, but none of them address my key question: Where/when during the Thalys ride does the ticket get stamped?  This is important to anyone in my situation -- i.e., needing to return to Amsterdam after boarding the Thalys, but needing their ticket stamped to ensure their return itinerary is not cancelled.

British Airways (BA) just changed our flight times, leaving us only 1h15mins for our layover in Heathrow. We arrive from Brussels in terminal 5 in Heathrow at 7:55 and our next flight leaves for Miami in Heathrow terminal 3 at 9:10.  This seems awfully short.   Does anyone know whether this is doable?   The flights are in November, so I'm still hoping that the flights will change back to the original flight times, which would give us an additional hour for the layover, but in case this does not happen, what are the chances that we will make the connecting flight in 1h15mins?

I am planning a month-long trip in mid-June to Europe; mainly Italy, Switzerland, France and Spain in that order. I'll like to know about a bus service that I can use while in a country, and to travel from one country to another.   I found this  provided by Eurolines, can this be used within a country for eg.Rome to Florence? I'll really appreciate if somebody can guide which bus service are available in each country and can help travel from one country to another or is it better to book point to point rail tickets.

What's the most straightforward way to get from Gatwick airport to Paddington station in London using public transport?   I'm mostly interested in travel time &amp; general smoothness of the trip (e.g. buying just one ticket for the whole trip would be nice). Price is a secondary concern.

When playing Ticket-to-Ride USA, is there a limit to the number of locomotives used to build a route? It seems unfair to create a 3-space-route with one Train Car card and two Locomotive Cards.

I bought a single ticket from Lufthansa, of Mumbai to Paris. My first flight (LH765) lands at 5:55am at Munich, from where I have another Lufthansa flight (LH2226) to Paris at 6:40am. This is a single ticket so I guess its responsibility of the airline to get me on the second flight, but since it's Non-Schengen to Schengen, will customs etc. be a problem? I am assuming the checked-in luggage would transferred automatically by the airline. Will I be able to make it?

Is there a place where one can leave luggage for more than one day in Brussels? It can be either in the airport or the central station.  I know that there are lockers in the central station. The problem is that these are usually restricted to 24h.  Are there any other services, in Brussels, that take luggage for longer than 24h?

I entered the UK from Paris once (riding the Eurostar train), and after the UK border control officer placed an entry stamp in my passport, he added a notation in pen (picture below).  What does it mean?  I suspect it is some sort of "warning" (the border control officer was not happy with me, though thankfully did not refuse entry).  I've always been curious about what it means more precisely or whether my prediction is even correct.  I've entered the UK only once again after getting this stamp.  I was admitted then too, but it took a while (the border control officer went away for about 10 minutes to do something before letting me in).

I'm traveling to Belgium for a month for a training and already got my single entry Schengen visa from 29-6 to 13-8 with a 30 days stay duration. My stay in Belgium will be from 30-6 to 28-7 for the training. However, I wish to visit a friend in Croatia and stay there for 7 more days after Belgium; where Croatia will become part of the EU countries in 1/7.  My questions are: can I apply for Croatia as a non-EU country and expect a normal entry OR do I apply for a multiple entry visa from Germany since I will be landing there to go to Belgium even is I don't stay there. If I apply for Germany, can I simply go from Germany to Belgium, then Belgium to Croatia then back home or do I have to pass by Germany on my way back. How long does a visa from the Embassy take to be issued and do they keep the passport? Is it possible that I apply to Croatia from Belgium or not? Sorry for the long question. Your help is much appreciated.

I am looking for a website like flightradar24 but for trains, or I like to follow more precisely where my train is than the limited "next departures/arrivals" information that is readily available.  Where can I find such information?

My route trip is Prague-->Berlin-->Vienna. I want to change the route to be Prague-->Berlin-->Paris.  Additionally, I already got my Schengen Visa, but after that I found a good deal in another hotel.    Can I change the first hotel I will visit before I travel?  If yes, is that going to cancel my visa or anything like that? Also I planned to go to Vienna and go back to my home from there. Can I change it and go to Paris instead?

What is the antonym of the word destination. Here is some context:  Every train has a destination and a ____?  I was thinking it might be origin but I've never encountered that word used in this context so I'm not sure - there might be a better word.

I applied for a Schengen multiple entry visa but I got only one single entry with a period of stay of 21 days.  I'm traveling first to Austria; then I booked a flight to Paris, France. Is that possible or should I take only trains or vehicles to travel since my visa is only a single entry? Can I fly to other Schengen countries with a single entry visa?  Should I travel to the country that issued the visa? I'm going backpacking through Europe and I don't know my longest destination or my actual destinations, to be clearer.

Is there a search engine that considers "mix&amp;match" flight combinations?  My current problem: I need to go from FRA to YLW (Frankfurt/Germany to Kelowna/Canada) on July 29th, and arrive no later than 5pm. The search engines I checked only offer €3000+ flights.  I found a 2-stop combo through LHR and YVR for half that price. I'll probably have to check my baggage out and back in twice, but if the layover times are long enough, who cares?  A real search engine could find that for me (or something that's even better). Or, hell, give me a place to bulk-download the flight schedules from and I'll program it myself (of course I'd also need a way to check seat availability …).  Update: Please read before answering. A search engine which does this should, at minimum, show the flight combination through LHR which I found manually. Note that I need to arrive before 5pm, on the same day.  Also note that this is a generic question; I'm not looking for a specific good flight here -- but the details are useful to illustrate whether an answer is actually valid. :-/  NB: Typo, should have been July 29th.

I'm traveling to Rome from Delhi, India, via Kuwait. What are the options available to spend the transit time (approximately 6 hours) in the airport? I also have a 5-year-old kid with me. Are there some affordable sleeping places? And the entire transit time is at night.
