Cheap filter water bottles for travelling? I’ll be going to rural Fiji and will have oasis water purification tablets so I just need something that filters and is under £15-20.

Buying travel insurance for the trip home ? I’ve been in Australia the past few months on a working holiday visa. I’m returning home to Europe but I’ll be in Indonesia for a month on the way home. Do I buy travel insurance from an Australian company or European company? My understanding is you have to be a resident of a country to buy travel insurance from them. Does a working holiday vis…
Machu Picchu Guides/Circuits Confusion I was looking at guides from Aguas Calientes on Viator, where the machu Picchu entrance ticket is not included, how do they know which circuit you want to take them? How do I hire a guide for the correct circuit? Can I just get a guide when I arrive at machu Picchu? How much does that cost if I just do that? submitted by /u/Embarrassed_Ke…
Can I bring fruit on international flight from Toronto to Seoul? This is my first time traveling internationally so I feel a little lost. I’m flying with Korea Air from Toronto to Singapore, with a layover in Seoul. I want to bring some fresh fruits to snack on during my flight to Korea and I’ll likely finish it all on the flight. Is this allowed? submitted by /u/IcyMulberry4659
TSA Pre Check – or am I getting it wrong? I started traveling post COVID and mostly starting from East Coast 4 main airports – LGA, EWR, JFK and Penn. I have Global Entry so it includes TSA Pre. Issue I see is in ALL cases, the basic line is the same. Whether you have TSA or not. Only when I reach the final check point there’s some segregation. Earlier TSA holders had a separate line …
Crazy booking.com/expedia mess OK, maybe someone else can make some sense of this. Back in May I was shopping around for a hotel room in Houston. I looked on a couple sites, including hotels.com and Booking.com, which I have an account for. The trip wasn’t going to work out so I didn’t book. Today I get a text from the Hyatt Regency Houston that they’re looking forward to ha…
8 hr layover with young kids at Doha airport. Need help with recommendations. I was going to book oryx lounge but reviews are not great. They seem to overbook and it is always crowded, especially over the weekend. And I don’t think we have enough time to go to and from a hotel outside of airport. Hotel inside the airport does not have rooms for a family of 4, and two rooms gets a bit expensive for us. Need suggestions or …
NYC hotel for 2 adults 4 kids I am about to travel to NYC with my family of 6. We regularly only book 1 room whenever we travel. When we travel other places, we always get 1 room with 2 beds. Parents in one bed, oldest share the other, and then bring a camping mattress for each of the 2 younger kids to sleep on the floor. To do this, I have to book online as 2 adults + 2 k…
Rental Cars in France / Insurance / Excess I need help understanding the implications of an insurance when renting a car (with Enterprise) during a vacation in France. I’ve read my entire rental car policy and my travel insurance policy and it is unclear if the car is insured or not. For example, if the rental car is stolen, Enterprise state that I’m liable for the full amount of the car…
Is there ANY travel insurance I could have bought that would have refunded my VRBO that we couldn’t get to because of Crowdstrike (or any flight got cancelled not because of weather?) Had a Sat 07/20 -Tues 7/23 VRBO rental plus plane tickets for four of us. Crowdstrike happened Friday. We were good to go on our Sat flight and then it cancelled at the last minute while we were lining up to board. No other flight options worked for UAL (or anyone else) to get us to our destination until Monday (about 48 hours after our original…

25m renting car in Italy with Europcar. Upgraded insurance seems like a ripoff? I’ll be in Sicily this summer visiting family for 5 weeks and rented a car with Europcar. I am not 26 so I can’t get the premium insurance. For 500 euro, I can upgrade to the medium insurance, which offers tire/windshield protection and driver indemnity (no clue what that means at all). HOWEVER, selecting this option increases my collision deduc…

What has been your best trip you’ve taken in the last year or two and why? What made it special?
