Airline vs Train cancellations I’ve been reading a lot of stories on Reddit about flight cancellations due to weather issues. I haven’t been reading similar stories about train cancellations. It appears that trains are more resilient than planes. But that could be the stories that cross my feed. Is there any real data on whether planes or trains are more likely to be cancelle…

Is there any area in or near Amsterdam where you’d avoid staying? Amsterdam, I hear, is a very safe place in general. Safer than where I live, actually. But if I want a quiet neighborhood to sleep in at night, away from nightclubs and bars (in other words a boring neighborhood), what areas should I avoid? And who knows, there may be some dangerous area that nobody talks about submitted by /u/PlasticPadr…

What foods do I HAVE to try in Portugal? I’m not just talking about traditional Portuguese food, though I definitely want that too. But also things you wouldn’t normally think about, like cuisine specific to a diaspora. Getting Vietnamese food in Paris would be a good example. submitted by /u/HeadFullOfBrains

Europe or Asia first as a couple who’s planning to no longer be child-free in the next 2 years. Partner and I are planning to start a family in the next 2 years. We’ve both been personally spending the last few years trying to build our careers and didn’t spend much time traveling. Now that we’re both more stable, we’d love to travel and experience a bit more and we’re often told that many destinations, especially ones that are further are…

Getting to Barcelona if I’m at the airport in Madrid – Train or Fly Wife and I just decided to go to Spain in November for 7 days. Direct flight from USA to Madrid using points, but if we’re already flying into Madrid Airport, would you suggest just jumping on the hour flight to Barcelona? I’m normally a train person but seems very inconvenient if we’re already at the airport. 4 days in Barcelona area and 3 in M…

I have 96 hours of PTO to burn in the next month; how do I use it to best effect? Hello, Reddit! I accepted a job offer, and it starts in a month. My current employer is allowing me to use up my current PTO instead of making me cash it in at the end (or releasing me immediately). I have nothing planned as I wasn’t expecting this for a while yet, but I don’t want to waste the time sitting around at home or just cashing it in. …

Took a spontaneous one-day detour to Kruja, Albania (June 2023). What was your best impromptu travel choice? submitted by /u/syzygetic_reality

Is it better to go to Kuala Lumpur for Over a week (less than 2 weeks) and spend a day or so in Singapore that same week or is it better the other way around? In other words, I’m planning to go to that area for over a week and I plan to take a day or two to visit one or the other (KL and Singapore). I’m trying to figure out which of the two (KL and Singapore) would more more sense staying longer in. Or if it’s even doable to try to visit both in over a week. submitted by /u/Chrisnyc47 …

Have you been on a work trip to a destination that is primarily known as a vacation/tourist place? How was your experience? A few years ago, I had a work trip to Hawaii, and when I mentioned that to my friends, they got excited and told me to send back pictures, which makes sense since most people who travel to Hawaii go there for vacation. In reality, I stayed in Waikiki for 95% of the trip, and there was very little time for sightseeing or leisure. While I had been…

How to be frugal on a trip without killing the vibe? We’ve all been there. On the way to your destination, you’re discussing plans with your travel buddies when you realize: we had very different ideas of what this trip would be.* You say hostel, they say hotel**. You say bus, they say Uber. You say cold cuts, they say restaurant. BUT, you don’t want to break the number one rule of traveling: don’…

A short guide to visiting Ephesus from Izmir So I’ve recently undertaken this trip and I’m a reasonably seasoned traveller. I think a lot of people may feel daunted by doing Ephesus by yourself and instead book on a guided tour, which is a perfectly acceptable way to see Ephesus but is not the most efficient. Most tours give you two hours at the site, which I think is a bit rushed. As of …

If you had the option between The British Museum, The Natural History Museum & The science Museum in London What would you do? I have the option to see these places in London but the way the days fall while I’m there (23rd of December to the 28th) make it so I have 1 day only to fit them in. I’m also seeing the louvre on the same trip if that makes a difference. submitted by /u/VillanelleTheVillain

Spanish Riding School Tribute to Vienna vs. Performance? My mom and I are going to Vienna in December and are planning to see something at the Spanish Riding School. We’re big horse people, so really looking forward to it. I’m curious if anyone has context around what the Tribute to Vienna is like? I saw a review on TripAdvisor that said it was a bit of a letdown because there’s a lot of lecturing and…

Same Day Plane Purchase. Good or Bad idea? My family originally Booked a ticket to go to Munich, but some last-minute changes now make Paris our destination for the trip (very long story). Either way, my family got really cheap tickets at the expense of Flexibility. They’re thinking of buying plane tickets from Munich to París, but to prevent missing the flight due to delays, they want t…

Room has bed bugs and the host won’t refund: what now? A couple of weeks ago I booked an apartment for 4 nights in a major European city through booking.com. On the first night, my girlfriend and I discovered with horror that the room was infested with bed bugs, everywhere. I took many photos and videos as evidence. Ayway, the behavior of the host was even more disturbing. I first tried to contact h…

I’m flying long-haul business class for the first (and maybe the last) time in my life. How do I take advantage? I’m flying from Thailand to New York on ANA’s business class for the first time ever. I know nothing about business class but I want to take advantage. What should I know about? i.e. I just learned that lounges are a thing, so I should probably go to the airport as early as possible to get a meal in? I just don’t want to miss anything! subm…

Does Airbnb not require hosts to list when places are hostels? I’ve been trying to avoid Airbnb as much as humanely possible because of the housing issues it’s caused, but every now and again it makes sense to stay in one. One such instance was a few days last week in Porto, in which I rented an “apartment” only to get there and find out that it was a hostel. It ended up being fine, but the kitchen and such…
