Is it worth upgrading to business for a daytime 13h flight? Curious to know what others would do! Flying from UK to Malaysia. Flight departs at 11am UK time and arrives at 7am Malaysia time. I have flown this route over 20 times but only in economy. I was wondering whether I should bid to upgrade. Outgoing fare is £800. Lowest bid is £920. A business class seat is £2500 for the same flight, so the upgr…

How did travel work decades ago before cell phones and Google Maps? Could some of you explain your stories? I heard there was a time where airports did not check IDs? Where cell phones and Google Maps did not exist. I started solo travelling just in 2017, pretty dang “modern”. Would love to hear some stories about travel from decades ago, how you navigated things. submitted by /u/ABrokeUniStudent

Honeymoon Chaos Common?

Scared to travel America by myself Hey everyone, I’m traveling to the USA in October. I’m touring with my band, which means I’ll be going to 21 different cities. I love to venture off by myself and explore where I am, but I’m really afraid for my safety in America. I don’t know where is safe and where is not. Just for reference I’m a 26 year old Australian female. I’d love any ti…

What jobs do you guys have that allows you to travel freely? I am 22 years old and looking to truly find my career path. I would love to have a job that either promotes travel or I get enough PTO to travel often. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks! submitted by /u/D_Wxst

Hello fellow travelers! I’m planning on travelling to the US for about 3 weeks and need advice on places to go and avoid, and what are some things I should look after So the plan is to spend about 9 days in Miami, 3 days in NYC, 7 days in Indiana, and 3 days in Kansas. The time in Miami is non-negotiable, but the rest is. Budget is low; I’m trying to stay below $100 USD a day after hotel and plane tickets. I’m super excited and want to make the most of this. submitted by /u/bearded_toast-head …

What is a custom that you have experienced traveling that you wish your home country would adopt? I have two. The first is every meal being a buffet. I am in Thailand right now and I go out and eat with a local family most evening and we order a bunch of food and then everyone shares the food. I much prefer this over you order your own food and do not share like how things are typically done in the US. The other one is what is called the Y …

4 Days in Southern Maine, U.S.A. Loved every single second! August is a great time of year if you’re a beach person, but other than that, the surrounding areas (Portland especially) are all worth visiting and taking in the scenery. And yes, the lobster is as good as it’s made out to be. I had a lobster roll each day I was here, and I could still go for more! What are other peop…

Booking.com, gf scammed? My gf recently used booking.com to book a short stay at a hotel. After using her card she received an email from booking.com saying her card didn’t work and to try again.

What is your best story about airline/train company/hotel/restaurant etc screwing up and giving you crazy upgrades or compensation in return? I was delayed on my last flight and got offered some money in return, about 25% of ticket cost. A couple of times got suite upgrades, free dinners, spa treatments etc after some issues at hotels. In every case a mistake resulting on significant inconvenience happened, but the way they were dealt with left a good taste and I felt like a valuable …
