Is food an irrelevant part of travel for anyone else? Just inspired by a discussion on another thread here, I notice a lot of people talk about food being one of the most important parts of travel for them. Trying new foods, well rated restaurants etc. But for me it’s not a part of why I like travelling. Not at all. My normal tactic is load up at breakfast, get something small for lunch, and then g…

Finally got a response the day after opening a dispute. To close out the post I had a couple days ago. https://reddit.com/r/travel/s/XDIXrTr75q Dispute seemed to work, got my money back before they responded. Do think it’s a bit odd that they maintain social media any day of the week but only respond to emails (for paying customers) on select days of the week. Lesson learned: give them a chance, but …

TSA PreCheck Process Completed in 72 hours… Should I have gone for Global Entry? For reference, I’m in NYC. I applied for PreCheck on Monday afternoon, scheduled my in person ‘appointment’ at a nearby Staples for Wednesday morning and received my eligibility notice on Thursday afternoon. Does the process normally take 2-3 weeks as stated on the website? Although quick, this made me secon…

Where in Europe to travel with older parents who have poor mobility? We want to plan a family trip (on a budget). My parents have never traveled internationally and are quite nervous about it. They are older and will not be able to walk more than a few blocks at a time or climb a full set of stairs. We were thinking maybe the British Isles (possibly Ireland and/or London) might be relatively more accessible by ca…

Most diverse country (in activities/landscapes/regions) you’ve been to? Like the question, countries you’ve been to that have amazing sights/activites in a variety of landscapes. Been to around 40 countries and I’d say Italy immediately comes to mind because you have everything from coastal towns, ruins in Rome, rolling hills and towns of Tuscany, meandering canals of Venice, don’t even get me started on the Dolomit…

Justfly it’s bad ? I’d traveled with eDreams to Argentina back in June , no issues at all , now I’m trying to book another trip to the same place for December, well I was browsing and I bumped into justfly for cheaper , looking at both apps are the same , but the reviews are not that great , so it’s on eDreams, anybody with good experience on justfly submitted…

Prevalence of English I’m watching a video about a city in the middle of Russia and even the small shops in residential neighborhoods have quite a bit of signage in English. Im well aware that English is the defacto Lingua-Franca in the world. But why does it exist in these niche locations? What purpose does it serve? submitted by /u/bobbygenerik

First time traveling from Chile to USA…. My Chilean friend is traveling from Santiago, Chile to Chicago, IL USA for the first time in September and staying here for two weeks (for vacation). He already has his passport, was approved for the waiver visa program and bought his airplane ticket. Is there anything else that he should do to make his travel easier to enter the USA? Thanks, in…

Island hopping Caribbean? I have been to a few places in the Caribbean, but for some reason I had an (probably romanticized) idea of hopping the Caribbean island chain all the way down to either Trinidad or all the way over to Aruba. I would start in Turks&Caicos and probably skip the islands I have been to: Bahamas(3 islands there) Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands (two islan…

How do meals work on international flights? I’m going on my first international trip soon, direct from California > Europe. Its about a10hr United flight, I plan to sleep as much as I can since we land in the AM (local time) and I want to be energized for the day. But I just want to know what to expect: when do they typically serve the meal on flights like this? Is it usually in the midd…

What kind of trip person are you? Have a 4 week trip upcoming to Japan and Hong Kong, and I have a big multi tab spreadsheet going, with tabs for finances etc. Showed a few friends and some were taken aback by how (unnecessarily) detailed it was, at least in their opinion. What’s your style? submitted by /u/wpgspinsters

Best 50th State Option? Hey guys. American here. I’m on a quest to visit all 50 states in my life. I’m from the east coast so those states have been much easier to knock off. As a result, I’m just starting to get to the western half of the country. Right now, I’m about 10-15 states away with California being the next scheduled one to cross off. When the time comes, I’d…

Driving vs flying. Which would be better? My boyfriend and I have a vacation booked to go to Universal in October. We live roughly 10 hours away, and we’re trying to determine the best way to get there. I’ve made a list of pros and cons between both options if it helps. Driving pros: • Cheaper (my car has great gas mileage, and we’ll be stopping halfway and staying in a hotel overnight…

Experience going through Japanese immigration with criminal record I’ve been planning a trip to Japan with my girlfriend for November, we already have our flight and hotels. Today I went to fill out the online immigration form and where it asks if you’ve been found guilty of a crime in another country I hesitated to answer but chose to be honest about it and put yes. I’m a Mexican citizen residing in Mexico but…

social media posting & solo travel? when traveling alone, it’s exciting to update the platforms along the way. but at the same time, I’m weary of stalking. as a solo traveler, do you post your photos as you go, or wait until the end? submitted by /u/mileygirl08
