Given a travel related situation, and given a specific question about the situation, summarize the question into a title

[EX Q]: My passport is swiss and I am living at Vancouver (with a student Visa valid until 2018) and I have a valid ESTA (until July 2016). Around July 15, I'll be crossing the border (between Vancouver and Seattle) to hitchhike in the USA along the west coast for about 2 weeks or 1 month.

At the moment I'll pass the border, I won't be able to indicate where I'll spend my first night. I won't be able to accurately say how much time I'll spend in the USA. Is it an issue?

[EX Q]: I'm flying United from Melb to Mexico City, with a transfer at LAX. MEL=>LAX UA99, LAX=>MEX UA1077.

These were booked on "one ticket" (I believe I'm using the term correctly?), I paid United once and have a single itinerary describing all the flights.

I am now learning that the transfer time for these flight is perhaps tighter than I should have booked (1h45m). I have never travelled internationally before and just picked the one with the shortest layover.

According to step 5 here[1] I don't have to pass through customs, though I'd hardly say its a reliable resource.

This map seems to show UA exclusively limited to terminal 7/8 and apparently there is an "airside" inter-terminal connection between 6,7 and 8.

So I'm figuring that if UA99 lands at 7/8 and UA1077 departs from 7/8, then I can get off one plane, walk to the gate and get on the next, without any customs or immigration? I'm also carry-on only, so no bags to drop/collect/etc.

Is it reasonable to think that?

Relatedly, if I was to miss my connection due to immigration, delays, etc, would United rebook me to the next available since I booked "one ticket"?

[EX Q]: I'm going with a Working Holiday visa to NZ for a year. I'm starting to look for health (or travel) insurance in my country (Chile) to leave with a little more peace of mind.

When I was looking for insurance, the first result got me to this company and it says


  [...] a low cost and comprehensive health and travel insurance that meets NZ Immigration requirements.
  It is compulsory for Working Holiday Visa holders coming to NZ to work in retail, fruit picking, or hospitality industries to provide evidence of comprehensive travel insurance while they are in New Zealand


I haven't realized it was compulsory to have health insurance to go. And sure enough, I went and read the inmigration website once more


  To be eligible [...] hold medical and comprehensive hospitalisation insurance for the length of your stay


even though in the actual visa I got it didn't refer to health anywhere, except maybe


  You may also be asked to provide evidence of any other conditions that you were required to meet as part of the working holiday scheme under which you submitted your application.


So, ok, I have to get health insurance. But that leaves me with a whole lot more of questions:


Does anyone know if they'll check it coming in our out of the country?
And what is considered "comprehensive hospitalization"? Should I worry about how much does my insurance cover to know if NZ considers it "comprehensive" and let me enter the country?
Does it matter where I get my insurance, Chile or NZ (don't even know if I can do that from Chile)? I mean, can I arrive in NZ and ask for insurance there or won't I even be allowed out of the airport without one?
Does the insurance has to be for the length of my stay? I don't even have return tickets so I can't really give a date. Most insurance companies in Chile give and estimate for max of 60 days. Can I get and insurance in Chile for those 60 days and look for other insurance in NZ after those 60 days?


I know those are a lot of questions and I'm supposed to post one question per... well, post, but they all relate to the exact same thing: what does "comprehensive hospitalization" means? What are my limitations or exact requirements to decide for an insurance plan or the other? I don't want to pay for a plan and then realize it isn't really what NZ wants and kicks me out...
