Anyone not get TSA PreCheck approval right away? I’m coming up on a month since I applied for precheck and went in for the “interview.” My background is clean as a whistle and there’s really no reason I can think of that it’s delayed. But my status still shows that it’s in progress. I’m not asking people to guess why it’s delayed but I’m curious for people who had issues pop up, how long did i…

Central Europe/Balkans or Italy for October? Boyfriend and I are going to London in October (from Canada). We want to fly from London to another European city and travel the region for 14 days. Budget and weather are our top considerations. Central Europe is probably cheaper but Italy in October sounds like summer to us Canadians. We don’t have activities in mind, anywhere with interestin…

Any advice on Morocco travel? I’m supposed to travel from Marrakech through Atlas Mountains to southern Morocco. How are the roads through? I’m being told by the retreat organizers that everything is fine. I’m just not sure what to believe. Will we be travelling by destruction and despair? Do my tourist dollars help? Not sure if I even be able to enjoy my time while I know s…

What is the point of online check-in if I have a bag to check in? Flying with Cathay Pacific this weekend for a long-haul flight. I always here about checking in online and in all my years I’ve realised I’ve never done it, ever. If you have luggage to weigh and drop off then what difference does it make? Already I’ve used the reserve seat feature on ‘manage my booking’ with Cathay Pacific so isn’t that the se…

Is it just me, or has Mexico City suddenly become a favorite city for travelers since the pandemic? Mexico City has been one of my favorite cities for years, byt after my first couple of times, there were still a few people who reacted with alarm, as if I went into a dangerous war zone. However, over the last couple of years, I notice a very different reaction, with many people I talk to reacting with excitement or intrigue, and expressing int…

Airlines are out of control these days I had a stressful experience with American Airlines this weekend. I’m not an anxious person by nature (grateful about that) but I felt very negative, condescending energy from AA employees. I want to write to the airlines but I’m not sure I will be compensated for the stress it caused me. DETAILS Flight: LA to Chicago (O’Hare) Connection: Chicag…

Logic Behind Enhanced Airport Screening As some of you have probably heard or experienced, if you get “SSSS” on your boarding pass, you have been “randomly” selected by TSA for enhanced screening on your travels. Here is what I don’t understand: a deterrent for someone who may be planning to cause trouble is NOT knowing if they will be subjected to enhanced screening. If you notify th…

Going to italy and wondering about the ecopass and payment methods We are traveling to italy for a week by car from Denmark. (week41) That means going through Germany and Austria, and as far as those two countries go, i have their ecopass/road tolls covered, however i can’t seem to find anything about Italy, only that a sort of pass might be required. So, question 1: how does that work down there? Is it somet…

Anyone else more worried about getting sick leading up to a big trip ? I have a whole 2 weeks in Japan planned in 5 days and I’m avoiding going to Costco because it’s packed and it’s flu season.

Briggs & Riley… Baseline vs ZDX After nearly 7 years and I dont know how many trips, I am ready to say goodbye to my TravelPro MaxLite4 stuff. I have 4-5 of them in various sizes and its all been great, they’ve dealt with more than I could have expected, and TravelPro service has been amazing taking care of things like zippers. But now, with all the wheels on their last legs, …

What are some US cities that really do it up for Christmas? My husband and I have committed to taking one trip a month to finish the year. We have September-November covered but are looking for something in December. Ideally the trip would be the week before Christmas so we decided we wanted to get the Christmas experience in a different city. We’re from Georgia but the place could be anywhere in the con…
