I was leaving the long stay car park and missed my turn so I ended up going through the drop off, it says charges start at £6 and are done through ANPR. does anyone know if the charges start immediately? Will I be charged for not stopping and just driving through? Seems a bit unfair considering there isn’t any way to turn around submitted b…

Cities (worldwide) with a similar vibe to Tokyo? Last spring my boyfriend and I met up in Tokyo (I was coming off a three week solo trip in Vietnam and he was coming from the US). We spent 10 days there and had a fantastic time. Lots to do, amazing food, lots to see, fairly easy to navigate (once you get used to the fact that there are 5 different privately owned train lines), and it definitel…

Which capital city gets a lot of hate that you loved visiting? It’s common for people to shit on visiting capital cities. They often get labeled as too touristy, too crowded, unsafe, inauthentic, boring, etc. I don’t understand how people can get bored in a city with millions of people and ton’s of attractions, but everyone’s entitled to their opinion so I respect that. So what’s a city you visited that ge…

Both are are very touristy destinations. Pro Bali: – weather – shorter travel distances (despite traffic jams) – easy and cheap accomodation – diverse Con Bali: – too touristy? – bea…

This is a place I truly believe everyone should visit at least once in their lives. In March of this year, I had the pleasure of visiting many of my extended family members and friends in Colombia, most of whom I have never met in person or rarely eve…

Photos of Iran Photos from my trip to Iran in 2019. It’s such a beautiful country, and I guess most people don’t know that because of what’s in the news. But the people were so friendly, the architecture mindblowing, the landscapes out of this world, and the food so delicious. I dream of going back there one day. Strength to all who are fighting for freedom t…

Malaysia Single Entry 90 Day Visa (Autogate) vs MDAC? Really confused here. Hey everyone, hoping someone could help me out here. I was told at LAX before heading to Kuala Lumpur that I needed to have a flight out of Malaysia booked in order to be allowed through that would take place within 30 days upon arrival, but I was also told that the visa upon entry for Americans would be 90 days and that once I arrived I could …

Avianca refusing 24 hour cancellation I booked a flight using lifemiles on Avianca on December 26, 2024 at 12:40 am EST. Today, still December 26, 2025 at 10:00pm EST, I tried to call and cancel my flight to get a full refund. I connected to two agents and both told me I am unable to get a full refund. They told me their system of record for the booking was December 25, 10am El Salv…

Me (24f) and my boyfriend (27m) have flights booked to go to Vanuatu from the 9th to 15th January 2025.

It’s a 36-hour drive, so we’re planning on taking three days to get there, spending three days there, then three more to get back home. Our first destination will be Forks (bc Twilight, ofc), where we plan to spend a full day. But after that …

SFO-LAX-MAD Iberia delayed/lost bags We checked in three duffels bags and one car seat at SFO on 12/22. We had a 4.5 hour layover in LAX, then a flight to Madrid landing 12/23. One bag came out of the carousel but the remaining two duffels and car seat didn’t make it. We filed a PIR at the airport but it’s now been over 3 days with no online update. We called Iberia today and were …

Relaxing East Coast USA Beach Vacation in March? Hey there. I’m (27M) looking ahead to mid-March (3/16-3/19) for a quick rest and reset trip somewhere warm and with a nice beach.

I’ll also be in NYC on 3/15 for a late concert, and I’m open to staying in the city overnight and catching a mid/late morning flight …

Germany Itinerary Feedback I would love some feedback on my upcoming trip. I will be traveling with my husband and two sons (ages 16 and 12) and partially with my father (the whole reason to go is so he can visit home one more time). There is so much to do and we will likely not be able to go back so I am very nervous to get this right. We are very active and love hiking …

What to expect for my first hostel experience? I’m 21m travelling to Banff solo for a ski trip. None of my friends wanted to come, which is fine since it gives me a chance to grow some balls and take something on by myself for once. I decided to stay at a hostel because lots of people recommended it and I thought it’d be great to save some money and try and make some friends for the 4 days I…
