I used to mostly fly European ultra low cost and some Asian carriers where the apps are pretty basic. Sometimes it is basically just a web based check in through Amadeus or Sabre. Then I flew Lufthansa and was honestly surprised. Accurate luggage tracking, push notifications for...

Planning that leg and seeing about a €30 to €40 difference between AVE and the bus. For those who’ve done both, is the train really that much better? I know it’s faster, but is the overall experience worth the extra money if you’re trying to keep costs down? Also, is Renfe still...

I’m flying Aer Lingus from Manchester to the US and just realized my suitcase is 162cm total dimensions, while their limit is 158cm. It’s only 4cm over, so I’m wondering if that’s usually fine? From what I’ve seen, it sounds like they care more about weight than a couple of...

GM here. We’ve had multiple guests get tricked by GuestReservations thinking they were booking direct. Now their sponsored ad is showing above our own Google ad, which is brutal given our small budget. Two questions I haven’t really seen answered clearly: Has anyone actually...

I am a university student in London and in a really tough spot right now. Because of my housing situation I was not able to provide a home address to student finance, so my rent is about £1000 more per term than what I get. I have a food bank voucher but it is not open until...

Looking at renting with Centauro and even after adding full insurance, they’re asking for a €1,400 refundable security deposit. I checked a few other companies and they all seem to be in the €1,000 to €1,500 range. Is this just standard practice in Spain now? Or is there...

I travel from the UK to NYC fairly often to see my girlfriend, using ESTA. I usually stay for longer stretches since flights are expensive. Been visiting every few months since late 2023 without issues. Last trip I went through US Pre-Clearance in Dublin. Planned to stay until...

I have a European passport and miscounted my days. I’ll be overstaying my Sri Lanka visa by about 14 hours. What’s the realistic outcome here? Fine at the airport? Forced to pay for an extension? Any chance they just let it slide? If there is a fine, can you usually pay by card...

On my first international trip and I was told before leaving the US that I should definitely wear compression socks for a long flight. I wore them on the way to Turkey and honestly they were a pain to put on and made me feel really warm the whole flight. Now I am debating...

Hi! First time sailing on Royal Princess and trying to stick to the included dining options since I do not have Plus or Premier. Does anyone know if Symphony dining is included at no extra charge? Just want to make sure I am not accidentally booking something that costs more....

This is my first time at an airport and I am traveling alone, so I am a bit nervous. I already went through TSA and now I am sitting at my gate, but nobody has scanned my ticket yet. Do I need to go to a desk before boarding time to get it scanned? Or does that happen later? My...

Interesting question. Airports and ATC don’t rely only on the public power grid. They have backup generators, redundant systems, and contingency plans specifically for scenarios like power outages. Aviation infrastructure is built with that in mind. So if there was a general...
