Anyone use Underpricer?? I recently purchased a ticket through Kayak, which was booked through Underpricer as the third party. I’m extremely concerned this is a scam agency. They keep calling and texting trying to get more money out of me. Every piece of communication has typos and misspellings. It just does not sit well with me. I do see my tickets are real through the…

Airline changing flight times I have an international flight arriving in MXP at 13:30 and a departing flight with Ryanair at 18:15 on the same day. Ryanair have rescheduled the flight to 13:45. The only other option is the fly the following day or fly out of BGY. Both unacceptable. Ryanair are saying refunds only apply to departure time changes of 5 hours or more. Europa.eu…

Best way to get between cities in Vietnam? Plan to spend 10-11 days end of Nov/early Dec in Vietnam. Planned trajectory is Hanoi (2d), Ha long bay vs Cat Ba (2d), Ninh Binh (2d), Da Nang/Hoi An (2d) with probably 1-2 days worth of travel between these cities. Math doesn’t add up because there is probably one day unaccounted for that we can add to any of these destinations (please recomme…

If I book two seperate flights to transfer without any checked in baggage, do I need to exit the terminal to check in again or can I just stay in the aiport lounge and check in at the gate? I’m going to fly from Amsterdam to London Gatwick with Easyjet and then I want to take a flight to Newquay with Eastern Airways. But do I need to exit the airport lounge then and check in my baggage again and my flight ticket? How does this work when you don’t have checked-in baggage? submitted by /u/Phebelya

Best place to travel in the western US that has a good city/nature combo? Might go on a family trip soon, not very sure yet. Never really been out west before besides one trip to California for a wedding. I want to get more out of the nature scene there (I’m a huge birder) but at the same time I would also be interested in seeing cities out there as well. The first places that come to mind are Salt Lake City, Denver, …

Circuit 3 + Macchu Picchu Mountain this coming May, or reschedule for June so we can get Circuit 2? Hi everyone – Husband and I are planning to visit Machu Picchu next month. Unfortunately, I waited too long to get tickets, and now only Circuit 3 + Machu Picchu mountain and Huchuy Picchu + Circuit 4 are available. I’m not interested in Circuit 4 so we’ll pass on that, but I’m wondering if we should just visit as planned and do Circuit 3. Howev…

Why do people check in at the airport rather than online? Writing this from Gatwick airport (UK), but I see this everywhere. Was walking past this morning and saw the usual long queues of people at the check-in counters. Many did not seem to have large luggage items with them, just backpacks or small suitcases that could easily be overheads or under seat options. Why wouldn’t they just check in online …

Weird/Wtf travel experiences What is your weirdest travel experience? For me, I learnt that bunk beds are very strong – strong enough to hold the weight and shaking of 2 adults having sex on the top bunk! Many years ago, I checked into a dom room with 2 double decker bunk beds. I took the bottom bunk near the window. A pair of UK ladies were already staying and used the be…

Traveling to Vienna via Budapest I’m traveling to Vienna from Israel in August for a Taylor Swift concert. When looking at flights I found that flying to Budapest for that weekend would cost me half the price of flying to Vienna (about 600 USD vs 1200), so I’m thinking of flying via Budapest and getting to and from Vienna by train. Is there anything I’m overlooking that would b…

Itinerary advice: Washington DC to New York City We (29m and 29f) will fly to Washington DC in May, rent a car there for 12 days, then go to New York City and fly back home from there. We already planned plenty of time in Washington and NYC to do sightseeing there, so the question is what to do with the 12 days in between. We thought about spending 3 days in Shenandoah National Park, then go …

How much should I aim to save for this long term trip? Hi guys! I am planning a long travel trip for 2026 which gives me a good amount of time to save. I am currently saving for a month long trip in Vietnam at the end of this year so I won’t start saving for the longer one until after that. My initial ideas are to start in India then make my way to Nepal and then head over to SE Asia to do Cambodia,…

Booking.com account hacked, genius level decreased and wallet credits gone I received an e-mail yesterday in a language that seems to be Indonesian saying that someone in Germany tried to login to my Booking.com account. Immediately after, another e-mail in the same language said they had tried to change the registered e-mail address in my account – and a link for me to click on in case I didn’t recognise the activity….

Generic gift from Vietnam? Hi all, I’m in Vietnam for another month. Currently in Hoi An and making my way north. I’m getting specific gifts for a few people, but I’d also like to buy a bunch of one thing and give it away to friends when I get back to the states. Ideally something that can’t be found in the US, or at least not of the same quality. And ideally something th…

JFK Customs layover Hi everyone! We are flying in from EDI (Delta) landing at JFK @ 4:10pm. Our next flight is at 6PM (also Delta) to Dallas. We booked this flight separately, so we will need to go through customs and collect our luggage / go back through TSA. Is this too risky of a layover with customs? We don’t have Global Entry, only TSA pre check. Thank you in…

Effective filtered water bottle for travel to countries with non-potable water?? I travel frequently to countries and areas where it is not safe to drink the tap water. One thing that is not discussed enough is the impact of plastic water bottles left behind from visitors. I have been looking at different filtered water bottles (Life Straw, Grayl, Clearly Filtered, etc) but all the different information is slightly overwhelm…
