Business class layover at Istanbul Airport lounge access

I have a 20+ hour layover at Istanbul Airport with a Turkish Airlines business class ticket. I know I can’t use the sleep pods in the business lounge since those are only available for layovers under 9 hours, which is a bit disappointing. I signed up for the Istanbul stopover...

Booking on Air China site with random ID… bad idea?

Heading back to China for the first time in 20 years and realizing how much has changed already. Main thing I’m stuck on right now is flights. Air China’s Chinese site is way cheaper, but when signing up it asked for an ID number so I just put random numbers to get through it....

Taxi at Roma Termini refused card and tried to overcharge

Had a frustrating experience with a taxi at the official queue at Roma Termini today. My hotel was only about 4–5 blocks away but I had heavy luggage so I took a taxi. When we arrived, I tried to pay with Apple Pay and the driver told me they only accept cash. I’m pretty sure...

1h40 layover in Istanbul… doable or risky?

Flying Zurich to Bangkok with a 1h40 connection in Istanbul, switching from Turkish Airlines to Thai Airways. Never been through IST before and hearing mixed things. Some say it’s easy, others say no chance. Not sure what to expect with security or transfers there. Is that...

Hotel entering rooms even with Do Not Disturb on?

Saw a sign at the M Resort saying they’ll enter your room if the Do Not Disturb light has been on for 24 hours. That basically means they can come in even if you don’t want them to. Kind of caught me off guard. Feels like something you’d want to know before booking, not after...

Nashville February 2026 - LGBT

Nashville makes no sense at all as the Music City, except that it’s true. This is “the” place you are most likely to find people who appreciate music and, more broadly, entertainment. You won’t find a docent in Nashville who couldn’t reasonably get a casting call for Saturday...

Using a round trip ticket from India when you only need a one way back to the US

A friend of mine is currently stuck in India after her Etihad return flight was cancelled because of the Iran conflict. I’m trying to figure out the cheapest way to get her back to the US. Right now, one way tickets are much more expensive than some round trip fares on European...

Great news guys, AA putting a 787 on MIA–SFO for the holidays

Looks like American is flying a daily 787-8 between Miami and San Francisco from Dec 18 to Jan 5. Not something you see often on a non-hub domestic route. Curious if it’s just repositioning or if demand is really that strong.

Stranded in Dubai after Emirates cancellation

Flight to Düsseldorf got cancelled this morning and we were stuck in a huge queue for hours with no response from phone or chat. Looked pretty bad at first since the next flight was full. Then randomly the cancelled flight showed back up with a new departure time later in the...

Can’t get a flight from India to the US right now

My mom was supposed to fly back to the US today with Qatar and they cancelled her flight and just issued a refund. No rebooking at all. We’ve been trying to book anything out of India since then. Tried routes through Singapore, Japan, Europe, etc. Flights show as available, but...

Paid $4.5k for catering and barely got enough food to feed anyone

Booked a catering order for a 350+ person event and paid $4,500 upfront. Morning of the event, the owner suddenly says the order was “wrong” and tries to charge way more or cut the food. Manager I booked with basically disappeared. We agreed to adjust the order and keep it at...

Almost lost my passport and backpack at a Bangkok buffet

This happened on March 12 at the Bangkok Sky Buffet on the 76th floor of the Baiyoke Hotel. I was eating alone a few hours before my connecting flight to Taipei. I had my Pacsafe backpack on the chair next to me and briefly turned away to take some photos of the view. When I...

Just got back from a 6 day stay at Hotel Xcaret Mexico and unfortunately it wasn’t a great experience overall.

The resort itself is beautiful, the staff are friendly, and the pools, slides, gym, and food were all good. The property is well maintained and there are plenty of fun things to do. But there were several frustrating issues. Check in took over an hour even with multiple agents...

Should you receive a confirmation email after paying for an Indian e-visa?

I applied for an Indian e-visa through the official government website and completed the payment. The site itself shows that the payment went through and the money has already been deducted from my account. However, I never received any confirmation email after paying, which...
