Google Flights is Getting Really Annoying Google flights shows results from all sorts of travel agents now. I have no desire to book through a third party. There’s no way to book online through the airline. When you call the airline, the price is actually much higher. Google Flights doesn’t tell you the price is for a travel agency until the last page. How do you get rid of these annoyi…

What did you learn about yourself? I went on a trip to Japan and returned about 2 weeks ago. I flew and had a day on my own and then joined up with a group. The entire experience was just so much fun, and I’ve made tons of memories. I also realized something important. I suck at making decisions! Many times, I would be decided on if I should go to x or y and be frozen for what f…

Traveling between extreme climates So in the coming southern hemisphere winter, which is cold and brutal, I will be traveling to the extreme desert heat of the northern hemisphere. I don’t want to freeze my gonads stiff and possibly get wet, but I don’t want to be saddled down with a jacket I won’t need either. Any advice or tricks? submitted by /u/oopsy-daisy6837 …

How do you commemorate your travels? I recently learned from a friend that they buy a patch of the flag of every country they visit and sew it onto a bag in lieu of traditional memorabilia. I like that idea and thought about doing that but with a jacket but after discussing it, I realized that a jacket might not be super practical. So what small items do you buy to commemorate your…

App for sharing a photo gallery that includes geolocation data Hey Travelers, I am going on vacation real soon and I am looking for an App (Android) with which I can create photo galleries where I can get a link to share with others. Most importantly: it would be great if the app read the geolocation data (the actual place, not the coordinates) from the photos and added it to the picture (like a subline or…

How safe is the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico? Travelling as a solo female. I’m well-travelled and have been to Mexico before but that was probably 20 years ago now (to Mexico City and Oaxaca). I used to be very gung ho about going to places like India and Thailand and not think about safety until I got there. Now as I get older I don’t really want to worry about having to get back to my hot…

Is “splurging” on higher end, buy once lifetime such as Briggs & Riley worth the BIFL “investment” versus something compared to travel pro? I fly anywhere from 3 – 20 times a year, debating on if I spend $700 for a nice Briggs & Riley carry on which has a life time warranty and I may never need another carry on in my life, or spend $150 for a travel pro carry on which is close to being as durable but only $150 but no warranty. submitted by /u/Jeeperscrow123

Need to change ticket destination: where to? Hey all, I booked a ticket to Israel with Turkish Airlines in November. Obviously that’s not likely to happen, so where should I go instead? It’s for 11 days (not including flying), I’ll be traveling solo, have a budget of $3000 USD, and am open to any place around the Mediterranean. I like museums, history and things that will make me feel like…

Taylor Swift concert in Singapore dilemma So here’s the thing. I’m Filipino and I’m going to watch Taylor Swift’s concert in Singapore on March next year. I already have my plane tickets and am currently looking for a place to stay.

What part of Asia would you spend 2 weeks in? I’m from Europe and I want to travel 2 weeks in May 2024 through South East Asia (first time outside Europe). Would like to avoid multiple plane flights because in case they get cancelled, my budget isn’t too permissive to buy last minute flights. That’s why I considered Vietnam from Ho Chi Minh to Hanoi, but seems like the distance between the …

Would you cancel a national park trip over an “aggressive wasp warning”? Planning on going to Hawaii Volcanos National Park next week and just saw a warning posted online. “Be aware of aggressive ground-nesting vespula wasps. When threatened, leave the area. If stung and you begin to experience serious symptoms or allergic reactions, call 911.” ​ I’m wondering if it’s too risky for me to go to the park. Both of my p…

The farthest I’ve gone so far is from New York to Alabama, and now I am going to Europe! I already did the passport application. Hopefully the six month validity thing should be set (going in July). What other obvious but necessary things do I need to k…
