First time brining 6 month infant to India from US

Hi, bringing infant kiddo for the first visit to India from USA (kid is US citizen and we are Indian citizens)

A few questions

  1. We have an e-visa for child, anything else we need to carry outside of US passport and e-visa printout? I am assuming birth certificate is not required right ?
  2. Do Indian airport security allow breast milk in excess of 100ml to be carried through security including cooler ice packs to keep breast milk cold, etc ?
  3. Do Indian airlines gate check Strollers and car seat at the boarding gate ?

Does Air India allow gate checking of car seat and stroller ?

Traveling from NYC to Mumbai via United Airlines with a domestic transfer from DEL to BOM. I have a small kid and I will be bringing a car seat attached to a stroller.

Does Air India allow gate checking of Stroller/Car seat travel system ?

How to access my BTC on my Ledger Nano S

I have BTC on my Ledger Nano S. I used to access it on my ledger live on my Macbook. Its a very very old Macbook and now does not receive OS updates. Ledger Live has now updated to Ledger Wallet.

Any idea on a very low lift way to access my BTC from my ledger. I would prefer not to buy anymore cold wallets/devices and would like to maintain my current Ledger Nano S.

Would welcome any suggestions. Scammers stay away, I am not answering any DMs

Thanks in advance

Is Breast milk (>100ml) /Breast pump and Car seat allowed on domestic flight

I am flying from US to India with a 6 month old baby. Its my first time flying to India. While in India, I will be making some domestic flights to visit family.

I wanted to know

  1. Do Indian airport security allow Baby breast milk in bottles greater than 100ml in Cabin baggage? It is currently allowed in the US and other European countries as this doesn't count towards the liquid limit in Cabin baggage

  2. Are Breast pumps allowed through Indian security ?

  3. Are car seats allowed as check in baggage ? and does it count towards the checked in baggage allowance ?

Since I am traveling for the first time from US to India and traveling domestically with baby my questions might be a bit basic. So please help me answer them.

Thanks

2 fears! Flying from EWR and the dreamliner

Hello,

I am taking off and landing at EWR in August. I am also flying the Boing Dreamliner. How worried should I be ? I know the default answer on this thread is its super safe, etc, etc etc.

But I am genuinely worried so please share more fact based info on both of them. I am worried that there might be a DCA type mid-air incident at EWR given the ATC staffing crisis there.

Thanks

Logistics of taking Car seat through Indian Airports/Carriers

I am taking my car seat to India for my 1 year old (already taken that decision so don't need feedback on this)

For folks who have done the same thing can you share more about how Car seat is treated in Indian airports or airlines ? In the US, you can gate check car seat and its not counted as part of your checked baggage. How does it work in India ? On Air india's website it does say that car seats/strollers are allowed but doesn't say anything about whether its considered under checked baggage allowance ? What about security ? Do they allow car seat ?

Thanks in advance.

Do you get the Edit + IHG $750 stackable coupons back in case you cancel and get a refund

I am stacking on the $500 +$250 hotel benefits from CSR for an upcoming trip. It would be 3 nights on one booking that would get the $250 Edit + $250 IHG benefit and then a 2 night booking for the remaining $250 Edit benefit.

I purchasing a "Pay Now" refundable booking. There is a chance my plans can change so if I cancel will I get the $750 credits back ? or will it just be the amount I paid with points/cash that gets refunded and I am out the $750 credits.

Please let me know

Not sure if this is a thing but I’m currently in USA and wanted to know if I were to FIRE in India without any job what is the corpus that I would likely need.

Assuming I have a fully paid off home in a Tier 1 city and one kiddo who is 4 years old

This is the lifestyle I am looking for

  1. Top notch school for 1 kid and private tutor when kid grows up

  2. 24/7 house cleaner and cook

  3. Full time nanny

  4. Part time driver to drive me around (otherwise will use uber most of the time)

  5. Only want to buy premium/organic vegetables to avoid adulteration and pesticides

  6. Decent gym

  7. 3-4 international vacations per year

  8. 2-3 domestic vacations per year

I am generally health conscious so won’t be eating out often (maybe 2-3 times a month when I am meeting friends, otherwise will try for mostly hosting at home).

I am not one of those guys who will say I have a bazillion bucks and if it’s enough. I just want to know how much will this cost and how much do I need to have accumulated to afford this lifestyle.
