Planning

My wife and I are traveling to Italy in May with both sets of parents (six people total). I know… slightly crazy, but it should be fun. The plan so far: Rome – 4 nights Sorrento area – 4 nights (May 13–17) Sicily – 1 week Rome and Sicily are pretty much sorted in terms of...

Planning a trip to Norway in May with a connection through LAX. The itinerary is Sacramento → LAX → Copenhagen on SAS, with about 1 hour and 20 minutes between arrival and the latest boarding time for the international flight. The concern is whether that’s enough time,...

We have a trip to Egypt planned for May 12 and the remaining balance for our tour is due March 15. I’m really torn about whether to continue with the trip or cancel now. If we cancel before the 15th, we only lose our $800 deposit (which can be transferred to a future trip). But...

I have a trip booked later this year that ends with Istanbul → Dubai → Melbourne, with the Dubai–Melbourne flight connecting through Singapore (3.5-hour layover). Because of everything going on right now, I’m considering skipping Istanbul and Dubai entirely and flying to...

Quick question about how this works with SAS tickets. My husband and I are flying Milan → Copenhagen → California on the way home, with about a 23 hour layover in Copenhagen. I was thinking about surprising him by spending the last part of our trip in Scotland, which would mean...

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...

I’m based in Central TX so I can use SAT or AUS. I’ll need to be in AZ about once a month for a week at a time. PHX or LAS both work, LAS is a bit better. I’d also like the flexibility to hop to LAX sometimes to visit a friend. I do have some flexibility when I schedule work...

If I book a fully refundable Main Cabin ticket and later see the same flight drop to a cheaper non refundable fare, can I just cancel the refundable one and rebook at the lower price? Also, is it safer to book the cheaper fare first and then cancel the refundable one after, just...

I’m 29F in Ontario and planning to start traveling this year. Thinking some US road trips and maybe one or two international trips. I don’t use credit cards because I’ve gotten into trouble with them in the past. But I’m wondering if I’ll basically be forced to get one just for...

We’re a family of four with teens (17 and 18) and we’ve always loved traveling together. Lately though, their schedules make it hard to go as often as we’d like. They’re responsible, we have family nearby, and practically speaking we’d feel fine leaving them home. But...

First time flying out of JFK Terminal 7 and a bit confused by what I’m seeing online. Our plan is to fly into Newark (EWR), take an Uber to JFK, and then depart internationally from Terminal 7. We usually use LaGuardia, so both of these airports are new to us. When checking wait...
