Peter Greenberg: Airline Pet Fees
Hi, Peter. My 70-year-old mom flies in from Louisiana to visit me several times a year. She stays a few weeks. She likes to bring her small dog with her. When she first started visiting years ago, the airline pet fees were $50 each way. Now many of them cost $150 each way. Why are the fees so high for a carry-on dog kennel that sits under the seat? Which airline has the cheapest pet fees? Are there any discounts for seniors? –Stacey, Knoxville, Tenn.

Peter Greenberg: Europe for the Physically Challenged

We would like to make the trip, but everyone tells us, "No way!” She's 80 and I'm 64. Can you suggest anything? -Jean, Anaheim, Calif. Here's a list of the good, the bad, and the ugly, in overseas currency-conversion fees.

Peter Greenberg: Pests on Vacation
We are planning a car trip to Maine and other states on the East Coast. When we mentioned this to someone, she said there is a certain time during the summer when the black flies are a huge problem, but she didn't know just when. We don't want to have to put up with swarms of flies. Do you know when it would be a good time to go and avoid them? Thank you. -Patricia Molitor, Holmen, Wis.
