TASK DEFINITION: Given a travel related situation, and given a specific question about the situation, summarize the question into a title
PROBLEM: Several websites tell me that "nobody" will let you fly "standby" except as a change to a fare already bought.  Is there anyone that will still sell a cheap "next unsold seat" fare?

I'm retired and have no problem hanging out an an airport for a few days to save money.  But it's not saving if it's regular plus change fee.


SOLUTION: Does anyone still offer standby without already having paid another fare?

PROBLEM: My friend is away from home right now; he lives in Ohio and has had a car accident in the state of New Jersey. What does he need to do locally before he can return home? He says a state trooper took his testimony; should he stick around and ensure a police report is filed or can he leave and handle anything else via mail?


SOLUTION: What needs to be done locally in case of a car accident while travelling in the US?

PROBLEM: Specifically, I am taking the train from Taipei to Keelung, getting off at Badu and going to Pingxi, and then returning at night.

Do trains tend to sell out in Taiwan, or should I be OK purchasing my ticket immediately before departure?


SOLUTION:
In Taiwan, must you reserve train tickets in advance, or can you buy tickets a few minutes before trains are supposed to depart?
