49F first-time solo trip in mid-May, Spain or Portugal?

I’m taking my first solo trip in mid-May after a recent personal disappointment. It’s a bit last-minute, but I already have the time off and want to use it well. I’m planning about 10 days and am torn between Spain and Portugal. My biggest priority is safety, though from what...

Where’s a good area to stay in Singapore for first timers?

Trying to help my mum and her partner plan their first Singapore trip in late August and could use some advice. They’re both mid 60s and fine with walking, usually around 10k steps a day, but they’ve never been to Singapore so I’m not sure how they’ll feel once they’re actually...

Sitting here watching Flight 688 get delayed four hours because the espresso machine in first class is broken. Eight people are affected. The rest of the plane doesn’t even get espresso. And the whole flight is just stuck. Is this actually a thing airlines delay for? Or is...

Flew Spirit for the first time yesterday from MIA to ORD after a cruise and everything went way smoother than I expected. On time departure, landed about 20 minutes early, only waited a few minutes for a gate. I checked two bags for free thanks to the credit card and was able to...

First solo trip to Europe. Safe, pretty, and budget friendly ideas?

I’m mid 20s, from Argentina, and planning my first ever solo trip this summer (late July to early August, about 15 to 20 days). I’ve never been to Europe before. I’d love England, Wales, or Ireland but they’re sadly out of my budget. Right now I’m looking at places that are...

First time flying Emirates business… any tips? Feeling weirdly nervous

I’m 34 and I’ve flown a lot, but I’ve never been in business class before. I come from a pretty normal middle class background and it’s always felt way out of reach. For Christmas I’m surprising my 67 year old mom with a trip to Asia, and as a thank you for everything she’s done...

Nervous about my first Turkish Airlines flight, should I be worried?

Booked my first trip with Turkish Airlines, flying through Istanbul to Taipei. I’ve read mixed things some say the seats and food aren’t great, others mention delays and unhelpful customer service. Since I’m pretty new to international travel, I’m wondering how your experiences...

First time flying Alaska, totally blown away

First time trying Alaska on a short West Coast hop and I’m honestly amazed. I booked the cheapest Saver fare expecting chaos, but everything went so smoothly easy check-in, friendly gate agents, super clean plane. I even volunteered to gate-check my bag and they upgraded me from...

EarlyBird newbie question for SouthWest.

First time flying Southwest tomorrow and I paid for EarlyBird. The app doesn’t show my boarding spot yet, but when I checked my reservation it said it’s already been assigned and I can pull the pass starting 24 hrs before. So looks like even with EarlyBird you don’t actually see...
