Traveling from Portland to Seoul with a 31 minute layover in Seattle. All flights are with Delta. Is this doable? When I first booked this ticket months ago, I was flying from Portland and arriving in Seattle at 1054 am and my flight to Korea leaving at 1230. When I checked it in the Delta app last night, the time of the Korean flight changed to a 1125 am departure. This only leaves me 31 minutes to run to the international gates (less if they shut the gate…

Is there much need for cash in South Korea? These days I could go months without using cash. Is that the same in South Korea? I have a credit card which is pretty good if I’m just using it to pay for stuff but there’s lots of fees if I need to take money out. Is there usually a surcharge for using credit? submitted by /u/your-lost-elephant

Phishing Scam, now spread to Expedia. Just like how people previously mentioned about booking.om having this scam, apparently this is now also on expedia. What’s worse is that Expedia would automatically send a copy of this message to your email – and that goes through the actual expedia servers, so one of the usual ways of detecting phishing doesn’t work. Expedia customer service …

Has anybody done multiple Working Holiday Visas and spent a few years on them? I’ve just applied to the Australian Working Holiday visa (I’m from UK). I’m 20, so I still have a few years to be able to apply for these. I’m wondering if anyone else has done these? I’m hoping to break even, if not save some extra money after my year away (if I get accepted!). And if I manage to end the year with more money in hand, I think I…

Almost got scammed at Ceske Budejovice, Czech We were approached at the bus stop by 2 plain clothes men saying they were police and showed what looked like a toy badge and some id.

There were people who went to us and we asked them using google translate if they were indeed polic…

I have seen that there is an Amtrak station just outside the park and we’re thinking of taking …

Chilled hostel in Medellin Colombia? I’ll be in Medellin for about a week. I like a party every now and then, but I like to spend a good bit of time chilling as well, sipping a beer, reading a book. Basically doing nothing. I’ve been to Colombia before but never to Medellin. For some reason I’m imagining just non stop cocaine fuelled parties in the hostels every night like a frat …

Next destination: San Francisco or New York? Hi all, I am soon able to visit the states again around November after 5+ years. While im originally going for a family occasion, I decided to explore the states further alone after the event is finished since I’m already in the states and I will definitely not be there anytime soon. Now I’ve researched quite some time which places would be idea…

Is there a catch with Frontier Airlines? So I’ve never booked a flight before. I see a flight that I want to book listed at $94 I got really excited.

I’ve heard of Spirit Airlines being a nightmare, is Frontier in that same category? submitted by /u/2kfan
