Do you prefer silent airports (few to no announcements) or normal airports (with announcements: gates, boardings, flights etc.)

( www.reddit.com )

Do you prefer silent airports (few to no announcements) or normal airports (with announcements: gates, boardings, flights etc.) Do you prefer silent airports (few to no announcements) or normal airports (with announcements: gates, boardings, flights etc.) An example of a silent airport would be is Dubai where there’s no announcements at all, or Schiphol in the Netherlands. When I was at Brussels and Heathrow back in 2012, they weren’t silent. We could hear announcements …

Don’t use Super.com to book a hotel ever, for any reason

( www.reddit.com )

Don’t use Super.com to book a hotel ever, for any reason – Actively misleading on total booking costs, somehow displays unavailable rates in Google Maps – No human support reachable ever, just automated chat – Subsidiary of Chinese booking aggregator Agoda.com, which only places another layer of confusion between the hotel and the booking in case of any issues like needing to change a reservation.

Just me or is the US now far and away the most expensive place to travel to?

Just me or is the US now far and away the most expensive place to travel to? I’m American and everything from hotel prices/airbnbs to eating out (plus tipping) to uber/taxis seems to be way more expensive when I search for domestic itineraries than pretty much anywhere else I’d consider going abroad (Europe/Asia/Mexico). I almost feel like even though it costs more to fly internationally I will almost always spend less i…

Solo trip to Hawaii (or similar) I’d like to go somewhere during my Winter Break (teacher in USA). It’s been stressful and I need to just go away for 4-5 days.
