GroupTravel

Planning a girls weekend trip with a group of 7 flying Allegiant and wondering how seating might work. If all 7 tickets are purchased together under the same confirmation number and everyone checks in at the same time, would that make it more likely to be seated together? Trying...

I’ve been thinking about why I end up traveling solo more often than I originally planned. It’s not that I always prefer it. Sometimes I genuinely want to travel with other people. But every time I try to organise a group trip, it falls apart before it even starts. At one point...

TL;DR: I did two group trips to Europe with different friends. One ended in tears and fighting. The other was one of the best trips of my life. The difference wasn’t the people, it was three rules we set before booking anything. I love my friends, but travel really exposes...

Booked a group of six tickets together on Singapore Airlines between Hong Kong and Manila. One person can’t make the trip anymore, but we haven’t been able to get through to the airline yet. Does anyone know if it’s possible to refund or cancel just one ticket from a group...
