What does this mean “..which will be under guarantee from the airline..”?

I have a Pakistani nationanlity and are currently living in norway. What I want to do is to make a stopover in Dubai / Abu Dhabi for less than 96 hours. Soo i that case I am going for a transit visa which I can apply on arrival in Abu Dhabi / Dubai, soo I am wondering about the statement “gurantee from the airline” is this soms special document or is it enough with a confirmed ticket to a third country within 96 hours…?

I found the text below from (I am not planning to travel with emirates)

Did this travel agent rip me off? (V.K. Travels, Fremont, CA)?

1. They said the ticket would be $160 and took my credit card info.

2. Two days later, they called and said airline had charged me twice, for $109.50 and $160, asked for copy of charge from credit card statement, and said they would send me a check for $109.50.

3. The $109.50 charge was by United Airlines, the $160 was by VK Travels.

4. I got an airline ticket-paper receipt that said the total was $109.50.

5. United confirmed the total fare was $109.50. I demanded they refund me $160.

Any travel agents out there can answer this one?

We went to O’hare last night to catch our Lufthansa flight to Frankfurt and were told that our agency issued handwritten tickets were no longer accepted based on a new airline policy.

Were all agents who deal with Lufthansa advised of this new policy? The Lufthansa ticket agents seemed confused about it but they wouldn’t budge on letting us board because of this “company memo” they said they had and was given to travel agencies they deal with.

Any Math Wizzes Out There Who Can Help Me with This Distance Word Problem?

Can someone please help me set up the equation in order to solve the word problem and walk me through the steps to solving it? I’m awful at these things. Thanks so much!

An airplane flew with the wind for 2.5hrs and returned the same distance against the wind in 3.5 hrs. If the cruising speed of the plane was constant 360mph in the air, how fast was the wind blowing?

I was also given this: If the wind speed is r, then the plane travels at (360+rmph) with the wind and at (360-rmph) against it.

Thank you!!!
