I am Non-EU citizen, traveling from SIN to BILL with connecting flights at CDG and AMS. Could you advise if I am allowed to purchase/shop at CDG/AMS airports?
If yes, does it include VAT and I can only claim VAT refund when leaving EU? Thank you in advance.

Yes, you can shop at CDG and AMS. You have to apply for the VAT refund when you leave the EU.
My daughter will be traveling to Spain on a travel abroad program for college. She will need to take a six month supply of prescription medication with her. In pill and cream form. What are the rules for packing and traveling with these medications ? Do they go in carry on or checked luggage?
ZAP10/23/2017
You can carry as much prescription medication as you need. The Cream will be subject to secondary inspection so make sure she carries the labels that indicate that it is prescription and that it has her name on it.

Thank you for your reply. So I am clear she can take all meds in her carryon bag?

Yes, but she should tell the screener that she has prescription medication over 3.4 OZ before putting her bag in the scanner.
I am a non canadian citizen and My Flight itinerary is Ottawa-Montreal-Doha, at which airport does the security clearance/immigration checks takes place, in Ottawa or Montreal?

You go through Security in Ottawa. There is no Canadian Immigration when leaving Canada, so all you do in Montreal is go from your arrival gate to your departure gate if your bags are checked through.
