Third flight cancelled trying to get to Scotland this month. Is this normal? Advice on getting to Edinburgh from London? Have a trip planned to Scotland for this month, October. I’ve had to reschedule several times now due to cancellations by PLAY, Norse, and now easyJet. Is this normal for the region? Something to be concerned about? Luckily it was only my connecting flight this time. I still have a flight from US to London. It’s unfortunate that my cheap $400 ro…

Booking.com scam is still going around Somehow, scammers are able to access or impersonate hotels through booking.com and are able to send us messages through their official messaging service between you and the hotel. This means that you will get an email notification from booking.com’s official email address noreply@booking.com with all of your relevant reservation information incl…

Best hospital in Cairo for American tourist?? I broke my foot yesterday and need to get a diagnosis, X ray and documentation for insurance purposes, what hospital do you recommend? I already saw one doctor when I was in Luxor and they completely took advantage of me being a tourist and a woman while also not providing adequate medical care and I’d really like to avoid that again. I need to …

What are the benefits of checking in online for a flight? I can’t see any benefits of checking in online for a flight online if I also have baggage to check in. The last flight I took had a line at baggage for people who had checked in and a line for people who hadn’t with the line for just bag drops being much larger. I hadn’t checked in and avoided the large line of people and went straight to the ch…

Is it weird that I like to travel semi locally alone? I’m long married but have an extremely flexible schedule that allows me to be off pretty much whenever I want. My partner has a 9-5 and can’t travel as much, at all. I enjoy solo short trips and we have great destinations within 2 hours from where we live. I love getting a little airbnb and having a nice dinner, staying the night, then coming ho…

Jet Blue/American Airlines affiliated flight canceled by airline, neither airline taking responsibility on issuing refund. Thanks for the community’s time. First time poster. Recently booked a business trip for an employee on a JetBlue flight that was “affiliated“ with American Airlines. The flight was canceled due to mechanical delays and pilot understaffing. In attempting to recoup a refund, both airlines customer service representatives point us to the other air…

My parents’ experience in Paris (appreciation post) You’ll notice I’m not going anywhere in particular with this post, just showing apprecition where credit is due as opposed to only posting to share negative experiences. My parents just came back from a 6 day trip to Paris. I was quite worried as they live in rural Italy (they speak no french or english at all and are not used to big cities) and…

Uber/Bolt etiquette? Currently travelling around in South America, and i’ve taken a few Ubers here. One thing that’s struck me is I’ve been asked to sit in the front seat quite a few times now? Which isn’t really what i’m used to? For context, there’s usually two of us Just wondering why this might be the case? Currently live in Europe and generally it’s always be…

Who needs to pay me back?! I booked a hotel thru Expedia for this last Friday. We showed up late and we saw 15 mins in that they had multiple bed bugs. We called and asked for a new one and they said they were full. We left to stay with a friend on the outsides of town. They said they could give us a refund the next morning. We called, nothing, they said on Monday for sur…

After spending the weekend in Budapest it is safe to say that it belongs to the best city break destinations in Europe 🇭🇺 submitted by /u/kraziebastard

When you travel do you go for quantity or quality? When I was younger, I travelled as cheaply as possible. Often done medical relief work just to travel on someone else’s dime. Now that I’ve reached a certain age (and income) I prefer to travel less, but in fancier fashion. No more dorms or tents, now 4 star hotels….How about you? submitted by /u/PuzzleheadedCandy484

Felt nothing during a dream vacation I felt nothing during a dream vacation I (26) recently had the opportunity to travel Europe for a few weeks (mainly Italy and Greece). It’s been something I’ve dreamed off my whole life but while I was there I just felt nothing. There were so many times where I knew I should be excited and having a blast, but I just didn’t…. I did not have a bad…

Can I claim for things stolen out of my luggage? Hi, can I submit a claim for things stolen out of my luggage if the luggage itself made its way back to me? For background, I and my travel partner flew back to Canada yesterday using Air Canada. We had a 13hr layover in Montreal before flying to our province. The thing is, we had 4 checked luggages and they didn’t make it to our province. I had…

Where can I go to completely escape American culture? I love my country, but I’m in deep Albania right now and still hearing USA top-40 and it’s annoying. Wondering where you’d recommend that America feels reaaaaaaly far away. I know Coke and McDonald’s is everywhere, but aside from that, I wanna go somewhere enjoyable (e.g. not North Korea, though I’m up for a challenge) or at least interesting wh…

US places where the city is busy but lots of nature nearby? I have looked into places like Asheville, NC and Knoxville, TN but honestly am not even that sure what those places are like. I’ve driven by nearby towns such as Charlotte and Chattanooga and haven’t been to the West side much. All that to say I know just enough to know what I want in a place to settle down but not enough to have much for ideas….

Body scanner- red AND yellow in groin area. Why?? Title mostly explanatory. I was wearing tight polyester/cotton biker shorts and cotton underwear, no tampon or any other objects inside my body, no IUD, no piercings in that area. I don’t use any antiperspirants down there, just the same moisturizer I use all over the rest of my body. They pulled me aside to pat me down manually. Why did this ha…

Best time to see fall foliage in Europe? I’m looking at going to Switzerland, Austria and Croatia later this month for a last minute trip I wanted to plan. When is the best time to see the leaves change in those countries? October, early November? submitted by /u/KingCashew8

Are Santiago, Chile and Rapa Nui (Easter Island) safe for a solo female traveler? Hi all! I have lots of airline miles that I want to use this year and am seriously considering a solo trip to Rapa Nui. I’ve read that Rapa Nui itself is safe but I’d need to go through Santiago to get there and I’m not so sure about that as a solo female traveler. I’ve spent time in South America before and never felt unsafe but it’s been a few…
