question:
I've been reading up on how to get my cell phone into Europe and I'm still not entirely sure what to do. I'd prefer to use my iPhone so that I can carry fewer electronics, but my provider will not unlock my phone until my contract expires and it's going to cost a few hundred US dollars to buy out the contract (Bah!). Additionally, newer iPhones seem to only carry smaller SIM cards.


What are my options?
If I am able to get my phone unlocked, are nano SIM cards commonly sold in Europe?


Note 1: I would only consider buying another phone if it ended up being drastically cheaper than taking my iPhone (though I would still need to bring my iPhone for camera purposes). 

Note 2: I'll be in Europe for a several months (in and out of Schengen area) including Western Europe and the more western countries of Eastern Europe.

question:
I'm looking to buy an open jaw return ticket LHR->JFK, then BOS->LHR (London-New York, then Boston-London) on Virgin Atlantic, however I can't seem to find such option on their website. Am I missing something or is it simply not available?

answer:
Open jaw return on Virgin Atlantic website


question:
I will be travelling to Iceland -> Ireland -> UK -> France (in that order) in the span of about 2 weeks this summer, and unfortunately I need a separate visa for each country (basic tourist/short visit visa)

However, I saw that Iceland and France are schengen countries, and was wondering if I could use 1 visa to visit both countries, even though I am visting two countries out of the schengen program in between.

Would love to save both time & money by only applying for 1, rather than 2 separate schengen visas.

Thanks!
