Tan Son Nhat (Saigon) is on the podium of worst airports ever. Saigon is the only one I’ve been to that’s even worse than Manila. It’s far too small as it hasn’t been renovated since the Vietnam war so it can’t handle the passenger traffic it gets. Lines are insanely long and it’s the only one I’ve ever been to that puts natives and foreigners in the same immigration lines, taking at least 2 minutes to pr…

What are the most vegetarian friendly countries to visit? I would like to know what are the most vegetarian friendly destinations I’m living in USA and returning from Japan and South Korea and was wondering what destinations are more vegetarian friendly. Japan was good in the big cities (Tokyo, Kyoto) but certainly had to do research on where to go. Busan (SK) in the other hand was very hard and had t…

Why do OTAs suck so much? I booked a flight through Booking.com some months ago. The airline canceled it, and Booking.com would not refund me in cash – they only offered a voucher. This was frustrating, but it only gets worse. The amount was only HALF the ticket price! After dozens of messages with Booking.com, they insisted this was a full refund and there was nothing t…

What are some overlooked budget-friendly travel spots with hidden gems worth visiting?

Traveling doesn’t always have to mean expensive or crowded tourist destinations. I’d love to hear about any lesser-known places you’ve discovered that offer an authentic experience without b…

Delhi airport – I need the boarding pass to get in but I need to get in to get my boarding pass Answered: thanks all I have check in online but get an error when I try to save the birding pass to the passbook. The emailed ‘boarding pass’ doesn’t have a barcode and clearly states it’s not a boarding pass.

Risk it with flight that is often delayed with tight connection or give up a couple of days in Germany? My fiancé and I (both 25) are planning on visiting Europe this upcoming May. Our plan is to hit Germany and the Netherlands, with some flexibility there — we’re basically looking for the cheapest flights we can get for our situation.

Give me your worst travel nightmare and what you learned from it. I feel like if anyone travels beyond the all-inclusive resort, they will get into a situation abroad that challenges them, or crushes them. Maybe it’s a stolen passport, or a night in Mexican jail 😉 (no judgement on my part). Here is mine: I was in the city of Londrina, Brazil. My sibling and I were cruising the downtown. I get hit by a car as …

This might be a good time to get your passport Edit: US citizens My mom noticed recently that her passport had expired, so while I was visiting last week I helped her renew it online. She received her new passport today, less than a week later. We did not do expedited processing. So for what it’s worth, if you’re up for renewal or applying for the first time, I suggest doing it now while pro…

East Africa – doable on a budget? Hi all. I’m planning a trip to East Africa in February 2025 to either Tanzania and Kenya or just Madagascar. I love a good safari but I love experiencing vastly different cultures more (and I’m from NYC). Would I get a cooler experience in Madagascar? Or in Tanzania&Kenya?

Trip recommendations similar to Hawaii – hiking, surfing, snorkeling, and good food Planning a dream trip and using my experience in Hawaii (Oahu and Kauai) as a template of sorts since it’s the best trip I’ve done so far. I loved the lush hiking and spent a lot of time in the water surfing and snorkeling. The food was also a plus! I’m thinking somewhere in the South Pacific but there’s so much to choose from. Really open to …
