Short Romantic getaway in December- Savannah, GA, Charleston, SC or Chattanooga, TN? Planning an anniversary trip in December and originally planned to go to Asheville, NC but with Helene, we decided to change destinations. We love night life, music, good food & drinks, attractions for day time, and nice scenery (maybe a little hiking). Not super interested in history or ghosts but also not a deal breaker. Where would you pick t…

Need ideas for Spain and Portugal in June with older aunt Looking for travel suggestions for Spain and Portugal for my aunt. She’s a slower walker now and generally books packaged tours with her peers. She likes to browse around pretty cities and do some shopping, look at art and architecture, maybe see theater, and drink some wine. I like hiking and nature and am inclined to use air bnb and book a bea…

I want a cat but feel like I travel too often. Frequent travelers with pets, how do you handle this? I would love to have a cat but my spouse and I love traveling. I’ve thought this would be unfair for a cat to be left alone several times a year or, alternatively, stressful and expensive to board or hire a sitter. We typically do about three “big” trips per year, from 5 to 15 days. We do a few weekend (2-3 day) outings as well. We just moved i…

What is your travel to touring minimum ratio? Let’s say you want to go to a destination but it takes six hours to get there and you only have a three day weekend to do it so that is 12 hours for 3 days. You really only get 2 days there. Is that worth it Say you have a weeklong trip but it takes 18 hours to get there plus jet lag. So a full day of travel there and back and you’d only get 5 d…

Denied check in for Dubai Hi All, Thought I’d add this in so everyone is aware. I am an Indian passport holder with a UK indefinite leave to remain. Which makes me entitled for Visa on Arrival. Yesterday I was suppose to fly out to Dubai for holiday but was refused check in at the airport. Their reason for refusal was the fact that my BRP expires on 31st December 2024 an…

Is 9 nights in Prague too much? We’re travelling as a couple over Christmas and I’ve booked for 9 nights with quite a few activities planned (almost every day we have something planned). Looking at previous posts here, people are suggesting just 2 or 3 days. Will 9 nights (8 full days) be too much? The idea was to go to a Christmas market, do some sightseeing, go to a lot of …

Doing a round trip, back to back, with same plane. Possible? I’m planning to do a round trip, on the same day, basically with the same plane (I deboard at the destination and get back on board to fly back home). Reason: I just want to be accompanying my friend on that specific flight and then return home. Since I am boarding back the same plane, I won’t be affected by the delays, in theory, and I do not h…

Booking airfare through Chase question Hi all. My wife and I are booking a flight to Delhi on Lufthansa. We’re wondering if we’ll get the option to bid for an upgrade if we book through the Chase travel portal? I know there are some restrictions when it comes to booking through a travel website. For example, I don’t think we can upgrade our flight if we book through chase. I’m assumi…

Trip ideas from London (November) Hi I have 5-10 days annual leave booked for the end of this month and struggling for ideas on where to go flying from around London. Would prefer somewhere reasonably warm, maybe beaches/hikes and flight less than 8 hours ideally direct. Possibilities so far, Egypt/Jordan, or Oman/UAE (been to dubai too often). I also went to Dom Rep refently w…

Backpack stolen from right over our heads on train in Cologne. Beware of backpack swapping! Backpack was stolen from right above our head. The thief swapped it with another empty stolen backpack. It apparently happens all the time on this route but we didn’t know this as tourists. There are no signs that say such. After traveling on trains throughout Europe, this was unexpected. Lots of hindsight on things we could’ve done to avoid thi…

Vivaaerobus Rant I made it all the way to my gate, past security yet I wasn’t allowed to board… I checked in on my laptop because typing in info on a keyboard is faster than using my thumbs on a phone. I got my digital boarding pass via an email attachment. I then wanted to also have it in my apple wallet on my phone (which I’ve done in the past and had no issue…
