What is the best airport lounge you’ve been in and why? Stopping at the lounge before a long flight is one of my favorite parts of the flying experience. Half the enjoyment for me is the unknown of what a new lounge will be like and what will be served. What are your favorite lounges you’ve been to around the world? Icelandair – Keflavik Airport: Huge space with beautiful views of the tarmac. A ton…

Did you ever get rejected at immigration? It happened to me twice, and once was last night. This time it was to Tunisia, arriving in the port of Tunis. It was supposed to be a simple visa free entry. I came to immigration, they asked a few basic questions about what I would visit visit, hotel reservations (I had them) etc cetera. Then I was taken to another little office, they asked the…

Is this legit and does it mean my Turkish E-visa is approved? I applied on the above website and almost instantly got an email stating my evisa was ready with the downloadable document. Maybe this is a stupid question but does this mean it’s actually approved? Submitted successfully sounds like it could still be pending. I’m getting paranoid about it because I’m flying to istanbul in a month. also if anyo…

A warning to international travelers : sometimes your origin and destination countries have different rules about customs This may be obvious to some folk, but I wasn’t totally aware of this until yesterday. When it comes to things like baggage and customs, I follow a strict “do whatever the nice person at the check-in counter tells me to do” policy. In over a decade of international travel, this policy never led me astray — until yesterday. Long story short, I ha…

I have never travelled solo, is Sri Lanka a good option for a first timer? I’m from India and heading to Sri Lanka this winter with my friends for a week since they don’t have leaves, they’d be returning earlier but I’d stay there to celebrate New Years. I have never travelled solo before. I’ve been to different places alone but via a travel organisation. I thought this might be a good idea since I’ll be with my friend…

Any reasons behind for the Night Travel Ban on tourists in Egypt? To back up the question with a story. I am in Hurghada right now and was planning to travel to Luxor. My plan was simple. Leave Hurghada at 02:00 and be in Luxor at 06:00. We ordered (me and my wife) a cab on inDrive (6-7 hours in advance) and the driver came on time. After 60 km the driver stopped and told us that actually there is a travel ba…

Boston to Buffalo driving? As it says really, heading over from the UK to Boston and taking a few days out to visit family in Buffalo next May. Considering flying one way and driving the other with no preference which as yet. We enjoy driving in the US (we did 2000 miles in April around NV, UT, CO & AZ) so was thinking of making this a couple of days drive and seeing/sto…

Looking for recommendations: Non All-Inclusive Caribbean Family Resorts with lots to do We are a family of four (kids will be ages 7&9) looking to book a Caribbean vacation, traveling with several other families. We have travelled to Atlantis the last two years and loved it, but are now looking for something new. We are non-drinkers, so all-inclusive seems like a waste of money for us. We are looking for a semi-luxury resort ($500-…

How do you sleep the day before early morning / late night flights? I will have a domestic flight in Egypt at 7am, so I would need to get to the airport before 5:30am, and wake up before 4am.
