Describe the worst seat neighbour you’ve had on a flight (and how/if you resolved) Linked to a recent flight and gutted I didn’t take action. Help me live vicariously through your stories (ideally where you dealt with them): I was in the middle seat on a flight from SG to Malaysia, and the window seater (fairly overweight) takes both armrests with her giant bear arms (not just elbows) and then unsubtly uses both hands and mult…

Spain Bike Touring in February Hi all! Wondering if anyone has any recommendations on bike tours/trips in Spain for February? Looking for something that might be about 40-50km/day, probably something middle of the road in terms of how strenuous it is. Would be open to considering routes for 2-5 days (and staying at cheap-ish accommodations en route), or basing oneself out of…

easyJet price gouging Warning to anyone thinking of booking flights with easyJet. I was just in the process of booking a flight from the UK to Portugal for late next year and, having gone through almost every step of the process including selecting the flights, seat selection, adding on luggage, adding passenger names etc., just as I went to pay I had a window pop up…

RIP Arthur Frommer Read his obituary (https://apnews.com/article/arthur-frommer-died-7293814296854079a3a10f05d02faf44) and was really moved. What a good guy, and changed the way the world traveled for the better. I still use their guidebooks and website. So much easier than muddling through hundreds of bits of web info, always with good info on the history and cul…

Any suitable comps to the Nomatic Navigator 32L? My backpack just broke. I’m looking to replace it with a versatile bag that can serve as a travel pack, book bag for school, and, in some circumstances, a diaper bag for my little ones. The Navigator seems to check all of these boxes, and I can currently get it for like 40% off, but I was just curious if there was anything comparable I could tak…

Liking to stay for about a month or so and maybe stay in one city or maybe two different cities for like 2 weeks each. Maybe Montpellier, Lyon, Bordeaux or nice, idk yet. Looking for somewhere that’s fun exciting and open 🙂 I am hestirant to sleep in hostels because I snore SUPER loud and it’s been a …

We will be arriving Munich and will depart for home from Frankfurt. We have not booked any accomodation. May we have suggestions on where to stay and what to do in Munich and Frankfurt.

Is roadtrip in Nepal possible? Hello everyone, I’m thinking of going to Nepal for about 3 weeks and I want to see as much as I can. I suppose, the best way to do that is a road trip. I’m thinking of a route like this: Kathmandu Nagarkot Bhaktapur Lalitpur Chitwan National Park Birthplace of Gautama Buddha, Lumbini Pokhara Khareya-Gyadi Suspension Bridge Here’s the route on…

Fly with a dog in cabin within EU Hello, I’m planning for a trip with my dog flying with Eurowings from Germany to Spain. We moved to Germany in April and my dog had all the documents entering Germany and I even made EU passport for my dog. Do I still need to prepare any documents to be able for me to fly with my dog from Germany to Spain? Or just the EU passport is sufficient? …

Good beaches to visit in Cebu Just landed at Mactan-Cebu and staying near the airport. Looked pretty grungy on the way to the condo I’m staying at so might venture out to one of the beach areas and was hoping for some suggestions. Got no real onward plans after Cebu and still got 3 weeks left on the visa so could be a bit further out of the city as long as it is not too hard…

One week in Phoenix – 3rd week December With 11-12 year olds. Initially thought we’d do GC and Sedona (suggested by some on another forum even for December) so planned for 6 days not counting travel days. Traveling from the East Coast but decided we didn’t want to do those in that cold a weather plus don’t want to cramp travel plans if it gets bad weather-wise. Thought to add Tucson a…

First Solo Trip Advice: 16 Days in Scotland (May 2025) I’m planning my very first trip outside of Canada, and it’s also my first solo trip (I’m 26F). I’ll be spending 16 days in Scotland in May 2025. While I’m super excited, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous about traveling for the first time—and doing it alone! I’ll be relying entirely on public transit and a couple of guided tours since I wo…

Hiking advice for 2 days in Cajan del Maipo We will be visiting Santiago in December and we want to check out Cajan del Maipo. We’re a group of 4 friends, pretty fit, love the outdoors and love a challenge. I thought it would be fun to hire a car and drive to San Jose de Maipo, get some breakfast there and then go for a hike in Cajan Del Maipo. We’d be open to hikes of about 3-6 hours. N…

Latin America bedsheets Traveling between Mexico and Ecuador and every country I’ve been in so far up to Honduras has had hotel/hostel beds with bedsheets at least one size too small so they are just barely covering the corners fully and every move you make causes it to come undone.. Every morning I wake up with at least 3 corners off and I’m basically just on the matt…

3 nights after Machu Picchu in Peru. Should we spend this time in Cusco or the Sacred Valley? We’re debating staying in Cusco and doing various day trips vs staying in Sacred Valley to not spend so much time in the car. Thanks! submitted by /u/Careless-Half29

Iceland in January. Am I absolutely mad or not? Yes, I’m the person who posted earlier about the Nordic countries. So I’m planning to visit Iceland for a week in January, I’ve always wanted to go. I know it’s peak time of the year to see the Northern Lights obviously which is part of the reason I want to go, but Iceland has so many other places I’d love to see as well. Black beaches, glacie…

The ‘3hrs for an international flight vs 2hrs for a domestic flight’ rule, does that apply to the initial flight or the final destination? I’m flying to The Philippines from Austin, TX (via Minneapolis and Tokyo). As the first leg of my journey is domestic, do I need to only give myself two hours, or three hours because my final destination is international? Probably a very basic question, but it’s been buzzing around in my head! Thank you in advance! 🙂 submitted by /u/can…

What’s the hottest place you’ve ever visited? Did you like the heat or not? I went to Rome earlier this year. August time, I absolutely loved it there, but I will remember that heat for the rest of my life. It was unreal. I actually enjoyed it to be honest, I’ve never experienced heat like that before. I remember queuing to enter the Colosseum, no shade, nothing. Just out baking in what was likely 40 degrees. And at pe…

Has anyone ever witnessed someone get arrested straight off a planes landing? I’ve witnessed two occasions where the plane’s stewarts announce that all men have to have passports ready to show as there would be police checks right outside the plane doors. The plane crew announce it very last min to avoid people prepping stories etc. I saw a guy get arrested so I wondered what he got done in for that they didn’t catch on …

3 day add on to Slovenia trip My spouse and I booked an 8 day hiking trip in Slovenia for our wedding anniversary in August. We’re going 3 days early to get acclimated to the time zone and spend a little time city exploring before we’re primarily hiking the rest of the trip. Right now our tentative plan is to fly to Munich and take the train over to Salzburg, spend the night…
