American Airlines flight delayed 12+ hrs from Chile…advice? My flight is delayed from 9pm today until 10am tomorrow, which pushed back my connecting flight as well, for a 15-hr total delay. Called American and was shocked to learn they don’t offer any accommodations or compensation automatically for international delays (in this case caused by crew scheduling, obviously fully within their control). For n…

Maldives resort recommendation please Hi my Husband and I are planning a trip to Maldives on the 3rd week of September next year. Prices don’t seem as crazy yet (looks like we can afford a couple of resorts with overwater villas) as it’s almost a year away and would like to take advantage of that. Our budget is around $4500-$5000 USD and hoping to stay for 5 nights (maybe more if …

DC to Dubai DC to Dubai what’s your pick A) economy class but both direct on Emirates 777 for 12 hours 45 mins there, 14 hours back.

are egypt night and light shows cool/worth it – or a gimmick? i’ll be visiting egypt in december – i see there is a light show at the pyramids, at karnak in luxor, and you can visit luxor at night all lit up. the last one seems genuinely cool to visit then – is it worth seeing both during the day and the evening, or is just one visit enough? and are the pyramid/karnak shows actually cool to catch, or more …

New years in Sweden/Norway, how is it? Been entertaining the idea as an option, never been to either country before either. I know they’re not exactly topping the list of best cities in Europe for new years but hey. Anyone that’s done nye in Oslo or Stockholm, what’s it like? Good party vibes? Is it super cold? submitted by /u/tylerthe-theatre

US citizen Vietnam e-visa – urgent Hi all. I have perused Reddit threads regarding Vietnam e-visas for US citizens, and while there is helpful information, I need something a bit more specific. My flight departs on Sunday 11/5 (flying Qatar Airways, so US to Qatar, 3.5 hour layover, then heading to Vietnam). My e-visa is still pending and I got an email this morning (10/30) that …

Not happy with British Airways – dishonest I paid $30 usd to reserve a booking for three days in august. As luck would have it the BA system malfunctioned that week and I couldn’t follow through on my booking so I had to start from scratch. I made a complaint to get my $30 back. I just received response that BA is “very sorry” and sent me a voucher instead of refunding my credit card. I …

Prices in Buenos Aires I’m currently in BA, and I’m a bit surprised by the prices I’ve seen given that a lot of forums and reddit posts have said that BA is cheap and that due to the exchange rates, it’s a good time for tourists to make the most of the situation. However, I’m not exactly seeing this. Some examples: Entrance to MALBA was 6000 ARS for two people (£14) C…

How to plan for travel and know where to go? I went to Vegas recently on my first vacation by myself. For two person, we spent around 3k for 3 nights which I thought was a lot. Was I doing something wrong? We went to see a 3 shows and a few museums though. Other than that, we didn’t really have much of a plan. We research on Google and asked a few friends where to go and tried to hit up al…

Can I swap my business class ticket on the flight? I have a business class ticket from London to Singapore from work who are footing the bill. My firm changed polices to allow spouses to come along on longer trips so I paid for an economy class ticket for my wife (business was like 4.5k return at such short notice). Now, I’m fly long haul business for work every quarter so thought it might be n…

Traveling while severely burnt out? Hey everyone, a few weeks ago I booked flights to Japan and initially I was really excited. The trip is scheduled for two weeks at the beginning of December and I thought that it would be a perfect time for me to take a break from work, and have some fun in a new country that I always dreamed of going to. But honestly now I’m really regretting d…

Best layover from Budapest to east coast US I’m planning a trip for next May which covers Prague, Vienna, and Budapest. Since there are no direct flights at the moment from Budapest to the U.S., I’m looking for recommendations on the best city for a quick layover (a few hours or overnight) before heading back to the US East coast. My home airport is Philly, but New York and DC airports ar…

Should I get a passport even if I don’t plan on traveling overseas? I’ve been told by both sides with one telling me not to and the other telling me I should. What are some good reasons why I should get a passport even if I don’t have future travel plans? I’m an American who lives in Texas. submitted by /u/Few_Consequence_8439

Carribean Island Advice I am daydreaming of a trip on this Monday morning instead of diving into my work day and thought I would seek some travel advice. Husband and I are looking for a 5-6 night beach getaway in mid-December, preferably somewhere in the Caribbean as it’s a fairly short flight from TX. We’re looking at the USVI, but also open to other options. I told h…

British culture differences or just personal experiences? Flew into London yesterday from Texas. So far I love it. The only thing I’ve noticed is people are a bit gloomier here. I know people say Americans are just overly nice and “fake” but I didn’t think it would be this much of a culture shock. Small talk doesn’t seem as common. Customer service seems a little more laid back. People just don’t seem …

Paid for specific seats but split up. No refund for the seat fee My significant other and I booked an aer lingus flight from Dublin to Seattle. We paid $60 per person to choose our seat so that we could sit next to each other. Aer Lingus ended up canceling the flight, but they booked us on a different flight where we again were seated next to each other. Upon getting to the airport we checked in and received …
