People who travelled to / lived in Cuba🇨🇺 , any tell us about your experience? I’ll start, went to Cuba with a friend let’s call her Dee. We wanted to do the Cuba 🇨🇺 trip authentically, live with the Cubans, immerse ourselves in the culture. So we arrived at the airport with our luggage and no accommodation, car rental, cabs, excursion nothing. We relied on lonely Planet book that Dee had brought along. Dee is the super re…

Short trip to New York! What should I do? Arriving midday aug16 and leaving midday aug20. Going up with my girlfriend for a trip to my grandmas (a party queen who is more active than I am) who stays about an hour from the city — we have no issues with driving! We took a trip to DC and took the museum but found that underwhelming, so we would love to actually see/do things this time arou…

Rebooking cancelled flight I’m in Detroit, our flights home to Scotland have been cancelled because of the IT outage. I’m not sure if we should be on the phone with Delta to have our tickets rebooked or if they will just automatically put us on a new flight? Very long phone queues obviously! Advice is appreciated – I’m traveling with an autistic kid so waiting around in a…

Airline upgrade bidding Does anyone know the airlines that do blind bidding that fly from the US to Brazil? A few years ago I know Latam did but unsure if they still do.

Should I apply “independently” or say that my family is sponsoring me? – Japan eVisa inside Canada (Toronto) Hi guys! We’re planning to have a family trip to Japan for September 2024 and we’re planning to stay there for only 5 days.

Camino de Santiago I recently saw the doco movie The Way, My Way Camino to Santiago and am inspired to do it one day. I haven’t looked too much into it but interested to hear from and learn from anyone that’s done it or is interested in walking it too. Are there groups one could join or do people just go about it by themselves? I’ve also heard there are many diffe…

Which bag does a lighter go in?? Maybe a dumb question, but traveling back to England from sri lanka, as far as I can tell on google it’s okay in either, but I’m super paranoid when it comes to bringing the wrong stuff on a plane, and travelling solo for the first time under 18. It’s just one of those novelty tourist souvenir lighters you get everywhere. Should I put it in my c…

United States Asheville, North Carolina I visited the Biltmore Estate in June 2023 and did the audio guide tour and backstairs tour. The whole experience was worth the money. If you have questions about the tours I would go to the website for the Biltmore Estate. I was expecting a gaudy Victorian McMansion but the craftsmanship of the house is incredible. You would like this tour if y…

Where do you go for a tropical winter getaway from Europe? We’re a couple from Sweden planning our first longhaul trip together this winter. I’ve long dreamed of visiting the Caribbean, but I’m starting to wonder if it’s the ultimate choice for such a long journey. It seems perfect for Americans because it’s convenient and close, but is it worth it when flying from Northern Europe, or do you have other …

Is it a good idea to attend a Festival alone during a Gap Year? Hi everyone, I’m taking a gap year next summer and considering traveling solo around Europe. I’m a big rock/metal fan and thought it would be amazing to attend a festival while I’m there. However, I’m wondering if it’s a good idea to go to a festival alone as a first-time solo traveler. For context: – I’m 17 years old female – This would be my f…

Ending trip early to attend friends wedding? There has to be some first hand experience with this topic but I can’t find it. Basically I’m on a year long work holiday visa and would need to cut it short by about 75 days to attend a close friend’s wedding. Travel time is nearly 24 hours so it’s not financially feasible to attend wedding and finish out the last 75 days. Anyone made a simila…

Has anyone gotten miles out of a United pool? Found out I can’t use pooled miles for partner airlines. Had the genius idea to pool miles with my wife to go to Europe from the US. I had just a little less than needed, but combined with my wife’s miles I could get one ticket and buy one cash. So we pooled them and now I go to book and it says I can’t use the pooled miles for the flight because it includes a connection with Lufthansa. Ahhh. It was a…

Too many passport stamps for one country: is it suspicious? I’m quite an avid explorer of the Balkans and have made friends throughout the area. As such, this summer I am about to pass through Serbia on my 3rd and 4th visits in 1½ years. Is this suspicious? Because the amount of stamps I’ll now have for Serbia will be incredibly high and I’m sure they’ll pick up on this. PS: I’m more scared of Croatian b…
