Need Help Deciding Between Two Possible Flights Home, Thoughts? Any feedback on flying Turkish Airlines vs EasyJet/French Bee? A 7 hr layover in Istanbul vs Paris? I am leaning towards flying Turkish, one because they are a Star Alliance member, and two because I have heard some horror stories with flying FrenchBee. Both long flights into Newark are on A350’s though. However, it is tempting to fly into Paris…

Linking two EasyJet flights? EasyJet has nonstop service from Berlin to Corfu most days, but “No flights available” on my travel date. They do, however, sell a 1 stop route separately: 12:40 Berlin (BER) to Naples (NAP) arriving 14:55, and 19:20 Naples (NAP) to Corfu (CFU) arriving 21:35. 4 hours and 25 minutes seems plenty of time between flights, even if I have to go back…

Honolulu (simpler and quicker) v Fiji (longer flights, more unique) Have a bit of a decision for the upcoming long weekend. My gf will be meeting me from Manila this weekend for a mini vacation. We have the option of Fiji Momi Bay (3 days, $750 total) or Honolulu Surfrider (4 days, $3000). Her flight to Fiji consists of 32 hours of 3 flights whereas mine is 11 hours direct. We’d both fly back together to SF dire…

Go to mens pants for long flights? What are you go to comfortable pants for long international flights? I would prefer natural fibers and stretchy waist. I’m considering merino joggers or 100% linen baggy pangs with a stretchy waist. I’m unsure if merino would be too hot or linen too cold. What do you wear and recommend? submitted by /u/gargantuala

Should I Get a Neck Pillow for Long Haul Flights I’m debating whether to get a neck pillow for long-haul flights. Since I’ve used inflatable ones before and they didn’t help at all (not comfortable at all), I’m considering non-inflatable ones, but there are a few things that stop me. Non-inflatable pillows just take up too much space. Other than actually using them on airplanes, they only beco…

West coast to London flights in June Trying to go to England (from Seattle) mid-late June. I know that summer isn’t ideal for Europe travel, but I work in education and that happens to be when I have the time off. Flight prices are pretty high right now, around $1500 with a checked bag, and I’m trying to gather options for making it more doable. Family suggested using air miles to …

Is there anything like google flights but for trains? I have never been on a train. I usually drive or fly and to fly I use google flights or Skyscanner. The Amtrak website doesn’t seem to have any option like what I’m looking for. What I like about google flights is I set my departure location and dates and see possible destinations with the time and price. If there is anything like that on the Am…

How often are you taking 15+ hour flights? I tried searching the sub for the same/similar question asked recently, so please forgive me if I overlooked one. I recently fell in love with SE Asia. It’s a 15-17 hour flight from Midwest US. It made me curious to know how often people can stand those loooong flights and crazy, long, sometimes complicated layovers. I know that overall this i…

Google Flights vs Skyscanner I’m trying to book a multi-city trip but I’m so confused about my options. I mean, there’s options on google flights that doesn’t exist in Skyscanner and vice-versa. How can they be so confusing?! Also google flights show some direct options, but Skyscanner is saying there’s no direct flights to the destinations I want. What?! I double checked a…

Is there a way to keep the 5 layover Spirit flight from skewing the “great price” on Google Flights? I use Google Flights to search for the best time to book a flight (great price, wait, etc.). An issue I keep running into is that there will be one Spirit or Frontier flight with twice the duration and layovers but half the price. Google only recognizes this price and says it’s a good price. Is there a way to block that one outlier out so I can …

Help with flights and locations My boyfriend and I are looking to go travelling in Jan 2026.

Oddly cheap regular flights I’ve been telling people to get from the US to Australia, book a cheap flight to Hawaii then fly with Jetstar. I went to Australia for under $300 one way last year. Someone recently told me about a French company that operates a route between San Francisco and Tahiti for $400 round trip. Anybody else have any routes that come to mind? submit…
