    Vicki

    Asked on August 23rd, 2024

    Is there a phone number to talk to somebody about this? When are we delivered back to Portland airport? Will the requirements for baggage match the requirements on the airplane. How come it says only a couple of dinners? Does that mean it's a late lunch? Will pack stuff for lunch or breakfast and bring a lunch bag. Is there good water, coffee? Is there an option to bring my own ground coffee good hot water available? What about low carb diet and non-spicy no cooked peppers no chili no cayenne flakes.
