A Panamanian man, who was recently rescued at sea, hired a lawyer to sue Princess Cruise Lines for negligence. Allegedly, the cruise line did not help their disabled boat out at sea, which resulted in the death of his two companions. The man, Adrian Vazquez, survived twenty-eight adrift at sea because their motor had broken on their boat. On day sixteen, they cross the path of the cruise ship and screamed for help. However, the ship did not stop and hope was lost. Vazquez’s lawyer, Attorney Edna Ramos, has filed a lawsuit in a Florida state court.
Transfer America hopes that everyone is safe in their travels.

The Dalian International Airport has recently recruited a group of cheerleaders to entertain passengers who are waiting for their next flight. The squad would be performing at the airport’s main hall with amazing splits, jumps and kicks. Just last week, a string of delays had passengers irritated and angered. The cheerleaders were able to perform routines that “soothed emotion and alleviated fatigue for more than 5,000 stranded fliers”.
The cheerleaders were also brought on to provide more convenience for passengers as well as an effort to demonstrate spirit. In addition to cheerleaders, the airport has also launched other innovate services such as instant flight and weather updates and free physical checkups.
Though there is no schedule to when the cheerleaders are to perform, they have at least one performance a day that lasts several hours.
An airport official, Zhen Qun, commented, “The cheerleaders are enrolled in different colleges in Dalian. We hire them on a work-for-study program. The performance is free of charge for passengers.”
The Dalian International Airport is one of the biggest airports in China and is also the fourth busiest. The airport handled approximately 12 million passengers last year and still continues to do so. Due to the restricted airspace and weather, this airline constantly experiences delays as well as schedule changes. This reason alone is why the airport is trying to sooth passengers by entertaining them during their delays.
To those who wish to travel to China but are unable to do so because of a timeshare, contact Transfer America today.

A group of television producers who work for the Discovery Channel recently crashed a Boeing 727 in the name of science. According to the press release, the plane was guided toward an isolated part of Mexico’s Sonoran Desert. After guiding the plane into the specified area, the pilot ejected from the aircraft just before the jet crashed.
The press release stated, “Rather than carrying passengers, the plane was packed with scientific experiments, including crash test dummies. Dozens of cameras recorded the crash from inside the aircraft, on the ground, in chase planes and even on the ejecting pilot’s helmet.”
The executive vice president of public relations at the Discovery Network commented, “Scientists and veteran crash investigators will review the results of the crash. The company is not releasing the names of the experts at this time.”
The goal of crashing such an aircraft is to improve survival rates if such an incident occurs. The Federal Aviation Administration was not involved in the experiment but has certain specifications in which the network would have to abide by.
To those who wish to rid themselves of their timeshare contact Transfer America and talk to a representative today.

Transfer America reports on two women who allegedly scammed more than a dozen timeshare owners who thought that these two women were going to help them sell their timeshare. However, these two women were only interested in the money and never intended to help these desperate timeshare owners. These victims lost over $20,000 and now Celeste Stalnaker and Stephanie Tanos are facing a long list of charges.
The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office was contacted by the Hillsborough County Consumer Protection Agency this past January to report complaints from timeshare owners against H&H Holdings. The complaints stated that the victims had sent their money through wire transfer to the company who claimed to help sell their timeshares. However, once the company received the transfer, the victims never heard from them again. The Hillsborough Agency was able to trace the money to Volusia County where the scammers picked it up.
Lance LaMee, an investigator form the Sheriff’s Office, discovered that Celeste Stalnaker was the one who picked up fifteen wire transfers within two months. LaMee then contacted Ormond Beach Police and realized that detective Apryl Andrasco was also currently working on a case that involved Stalnaker. The two investigators were able to work together and obtained enough information to arrest Stalnaker. Once they were able to reach an agreement with Stalnaker, she stated that Tanos was also involved in the scam.
Apparently, Tanos was responsible for convincing the timeshare owners into purchasing their nonexistent service. Once the sellers had been convinced they would wire money to cover the ‘processing fees and closing fees’. Together the two were able to con $21, 656.95 from thirteen victims and are now facing charges of grand theft and organized scheme to defraud.

Last week a pilot had a midair meltdown that resulted in him being subdued by the crew and few passengers. Once they were able to subdue him, the co-pilot signaled an emergency landing. The wife of the JetBlue pilot stated that they are focusing on his recovery and thanked “those on the flight for their professionalism after being put in an awful situation”.
The Flight was on its way to Las Vegas when it was diverted to Texas because of the erratic behavior being displayed by Captain Clayton Osbon. Osbon had allegedly ran through the cabin before he was forced down by a couple of passengers. Before running out of the cockpit, Osbon stated that he is being evaluated by someone and made “incoherent comments about religion and then said, ‘things just don’t matter’”.
Connye Osbon stated on behalf of the family that “It is our belief, as Clayton’s family, that while he was clearly distressed, he was not intentionally violent toward anyone. We know you were placed in an awful situation and we appreciate your ability to respond professionally.”
Clayton faces a federal charge of interfering with a flight crew, which could result in twenty years in prison.

A plane was recently diverted while in flight due to a telephoned bomb threat. The JetBlue plane was on its way to Boston when they were told to head towards Buffalo, N.Y. instead. Flight 923 had eighty-six passengers onboard as well as four crew members. Once the plane landed safely in Buffalo, it was met by authorities and swept thoroughly.
The TSA commented, “The plane landed safely at 8:25 a.m. and has since been cleared of any possible threats”.
Once the plane was searched and cleared, it was allowed to continue towards its original destination, Chicago. The only outcome of the search was detaining one passenger aboard the plane.
The plane was originally stopped because airline headquarters had received a phone call informing them that there may be an explosive device aboard Flight 923. Subsequently, the caller continued to reveal the passenger who was involved in the bomb threat.
Transfer America warns all travelers to be on guard when going on a vacation. You never know what can happen when you least expect it.

The Transportation Security Administration has recently, in the past year, created a program called the PreCheck. This program allows qualified, frequent fliers to skip the long lines and use the PreCheck lane at the airport. In this lane, travelers will not have to remove their shoes, jackets, and belts. In addition, they are allowed to leave their laptops in the bag.
In the past week, the TSA has stated that U.S. military personnel will now be eligible to use the expedited screening at the Reagan National Airport. As the month progresses, TSA will allow “all active-duty service members and on-duty National Guard troops and reservists” to use the PreCheck lane at the airport as well. These men or women will not be required to wear their uniforms to use the lane but must have a military identification, also known as the Common Access Card.
TSA chief John Pistole commented, “U.S. service members are entrusted to protect and defend our nation and its citizens with their lives, and as such, TSA is recognizing that these members pose little risk to aviation security”. Despite being eligible for the PreCheck lane, all personnel will still face random security checks.

Today I want to share the experience I had with Transfer America. I had a huge problem trying to get rid of my timeshare, probably just like anyone else who has tried it. I think you should know that the only solution I found out of this burdensome situation was to contact the kind people from Transfer America. I’m sure that practically everyone who has been in a similar situation knows how helpless you can feel after a while. Let me start at the beginning so you see how bad my timeshare worked out for me and how easy it can be for you to cancel your timeshare by considering Transfer America at your first choice.
I got a timeshare in Hawaii, which was always a dream for me and my husband. We went there with our children every summer and at the beginning, it was really nice. But then the maintenance fees started to rise and they never stopped. Additional my daughter moved to New York and because of the long distance, she was not able to spend the holydays with us. That’s why my husband and I made the decision to get rid of the timeshare. There was no reason for us to pay the increasing maintenance fee when we didn’t even use the timeshare and of course, we preferred to spend our holydays with our daughter who lives in New York.
Before thinking about contacting Transfer America, I tried just about every other possibility and I can say confidently that nothing else worked for us! If you were able to sell your timeshare for any kind of profit or even just rent it to get the maintenance fee back, I would call you unbelievably lucky. Without Transfer America, I would probably still be unnecessarily paying for something I didn’t use. Even worse is spending so much time trying to resell the timeshare. Toward the end, we came so close to paying a dubious real estate company that promised us they would sell our timeshare for us.
Luckily, we didn’t go through with it because we read about Transfer America which, to be honest, seemed like it was almost too easy at first. But I was really desperate at this time and didn’t know what else to do. After deciding to go with Transfer America, we finally got out of our timeshare. They are so trustworthy and I felt it was the right place for my issue. Transfer America helped me finally get rid of all my timeshare responsibilities without any problem. If I had contacted them before, I wouldn’t have had that much trouble. I learned my lesson about timeshares and the only way for me to get out of it was to contact Transfer America.
