How doable or difficult is going to Heidelberg on a 12-hour layover in Frankfurt Airport? I have a 12-hour layover (flight lands at 5:50 am and departs FRA at 5:35 pm) in Frankfurt airport onwards to Seoul, and was wondering how doable it would be to go to Heidelberg using the train. This would include me having to use one of the luggage lockers in Frankfurt for my carry-on so I won’t have to lug it around, so how much time do I have…

Question about NapCabs? I am contemplating using NapCabs in FRA where I will fly in and arrive at 5am at Z gate. I’m hoping to use it for 5 hours until around 10am to rent a car and start my day then. My question is, what can I do with my checked luggage? If I understand correctly NapCabs is within the security checkpoint so ideally I should go to it directly after la…

Is February a good month to travel to Europe? Hi everyone. We are in our 30s and are planning a 2-week trip to Europe in February. It’s our 3rd anniversary on the 16th. For this, we are thinking of doing either of the following 2 routes: Option 1: Venice -> Florence -> Naples -> Rome (will do day trips as well to cover most of the things/cities). Option 2: Paris -> Brussels -> Amsterdam …

Uber driver caused us to miss our flight Just wanted to add this post to remind people anything can happen. We were meant to fly from Paris to Barcelona and our flight was at 8:45. Got everything packed and done and our Uber came at 4:30 and it was a one and a half hour trip to the airport so we thought we were safe. Since we had bags and it was early and raining, I thought the 100 eur…

For the business travelers: Clam shell or regular carry on? Going to be investing in a new carry on. Have always used standard soft-sided luggage but I’ve been looking into a few other options and the hard sided clam shell type bags seem potentially interesting. Any opinions on what’s better? Are clam shells easier or harder to pack in? Typically traveling for 2-4 nights and bring a suit and potentially …

Best route to see Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam? I’m planning a trip for this coming year and this is the most complicated leg of the journey. I’ll be leaving from Chiang Mai, and I want to see as much as I can in Cambodia (specifically Angkor Wat, of course), Laos (Luang Prabang if feasible), and Vietnam (the whole coastline if possible – otherwise, whatever places should be prioritized). Hav…

Question about air travel for my wife’s sister with dementia My wife’s twin has early onset dementia. She lives about 300 miles from us, and Southwest Airlines offers nonstop service. My wife is concerned about her sister navigating through the airport. Does anyone know if the airlines have someone that can escort someone like this to their proper gate? Or perhaps is a loved one permitted in these cases t…

Boyfriend got banned for getting upgraded Boyfriend got banned for accepting 1st class upgrade My BF missed his IA➡️FL flight; I didn’t so I flew on the original flight. The agent in Iowa rebooked his coach flight for the following day, and UPGRADED him to first class by his own initiative. The next day my bf came for his flight, turns out that flight was overbooked. He was switched to…

Opinions on self-transferring for an international flight? I have been looking at flights to Mexico from the UK and it would be much cheaper on the way back to fly from Mexico City > Cancun and then from Cancun > UK. However, it would have to be a self transfer. Would arriving with checked luggage with 3h50m time be enough to factor in delays or should we just completely avoid it? We are looking at sav…

12 days in Milan, Florence, and Rome Highly recommend going in early November. It was warm for this time of year getting up into the 60s most days. Tourist spots were still quite crowded but not awful at all. submitted by /u/RemotePersimmon678

Cities Architecturally similar to New Orleans? So I absolutely love New Orleans for the beauty of the French Quarter and other historic areas(as well as the music,food and culture, but I don’t think anywhere in the world is similar in that way, it’s a special place). What other places throughout the world have a similar feel? submitted by /u/Digitalmodernism

The entire trip is going to be about 2 weeks with one week being spent in the Amalfi Coast and the other in Puglia. I’m not able to go for the full 2 weeks due to work so my question is: do I go to the Amalfi or Puglia? Or, do I tagalong on the last half of the Amalfi and spend the…

UTOvacation cheated us too UTOvacation is HORRIBLE. We purchased a 10-day vacation package to China in February 2022, for travel on November 2, 2023. I made 3 payments in early February 2022, totaling $2,334. I provided all requested documentation, and waited for UTOvacation’s email requesting final payment. I waited patiently for their email request, and I finally contac…
