Recommended travel for a partner in poor health – while I am very active? Greetings – have been struggling with this for a few years now. My partner suffered a stroke at a fairly young age. While they are 90% recovered, they are okay to travel some, but cannot do “activities” for hours on end. That means fairly robust stuff like hiking or even less robust like just walking/driving or playing tourist. An hour or two, m…

Does the scanning of a passport by immigration during arrival/exit automatically registers a person as entered/exited ? After having gone through the exit immigration kiosk in an airport in Switzerland, I went back to the arrival kiosk to inquire about something related to my passport, for which the guy at the kiosk scanned my passport and told me everything is fine and handed it back to me. Thinking about it now, I’m worried that when my passport got scanned it …

Experiences in Luanda’s airport? I’m finding (very) cheap tickets from Brazil to Europe with TAAG airlines. Including checked baggage which is rare for these prices. But there is a 7h stopover in Angola, Luanda’s airport. I was wondering if you had any recent experience here (last 2 years). I ask in terms of safety, baggage handling by the staff during the flight connection, wi…

Need advice on upcoming trip to Italy My partner and I are from the United States, and have a trip planned to northern Italy from September 20th through the 28th. We’d like to stay in either Bolzano or Belluno, and I guess I was hoping for some advice that could help us decide which place would suit us the best. It’s our first time ever visiting Europe & it’s been a little overwhelm…

Zaragoza’s Architecture Is Worth The Visit (Summer 2023) submitted by /u/Cojemos

Hotel reservation cancelled by travel website without refund I booked a hotel via an travel website and once I reached the hotel, the hotel told me that the reservation was cancelled. Apparently the reservation was cancelled by the website without informing me. Customer service for the travel website is unresponsive and my credit card declined a charge back as there is no evidence that the cancellation wa…

After that I’ll take a flight to Cairo where I’m planning to visit Giza, Saqqara and the Egyptian Museum, I have an extra two days to spend and I’m wondering if it would be better to going to Luxor or the White desert tour now that ha…

Has anyone ever been in Zermatt for New Years Eve? Anything we should know? My girlfriend and I are going to be in Zermatt for NYE this year and we’re very excited. Knowing it’s a small ski town we are trying to get ahead of booking reservations/plans for the night of NYE so we don’t end up with nothing to do. Does anyone know if there are any parties/events that are especially good? It looks like there’s some sort of …

Has anyone visited Réunion island? I am planning a trip in a month or so to Réunion and would love to know if people have visited recently and could feed back? It’s really hard to find info online and posts on this subreddit are a bit far back now. I know there was some unrest fairly recently. Basically would love to know: If you’ve been would you recommend? Is 10 days enough? I …

6 Hour Layover in Rome; Time to do things? Come this December, I’ll have a six hour layover at Rome Ciampino. I’m flying with two different airlines and need to collect baggage and go through security again so I was thinking about trying to see a thing in Rome or Ciampino while passing through. The thought was to check my bags and then take my hand baggage with me into the city, but I’m …

People working in the travel industry, what do many tourists miss because it’s not common knowledge? Basically, insider tips for travelling that not many people know about.

Is Versailles worth the trek? My wife and I are coming up on the end of a 6 day visit to Paris; tomorrow is our last full day. We have tickets to go to Versaille tomorrow, but apparently the metro line to get there (the RER C, I believe) has limited service and it will take about 70 minutes to travel each way (to/from les Marais). Our tickets are for 9 am, so we’d have to ge…

Iguazu Falls, which side has the better boat tour? My opinion is Argentina Just visited Iguazu Falls and did the boat tour on both sides, Brazil and Argentina. I was trying to find some opinions online about which was the better option but couldn’t find a clear answer so hopefully this helps anyone else going that can only do one side. In my opinion, Argentina is by far the better option. Argentina: Cost is around $40,…

The hike itself was easy and majority of it was on a paved path. Made it to the summit in 2 hours. There were local miners close to the summit (pic 2) mining for sulfur at the base of the crater…

RANT: YMMV, but traveling in the USA just doesn’t seem financially worth it Although one might feel this way about many places around the world, speaking just to the USA, despite the various activities available, whether it be food, culture, sports, etc., the cost of travel, accommodations, entertainment, and food in the USA just seems exorbitant nowadays. Two cases in point: -NYC – Many people’s go-to destination in th…
