I recently flew with Saudia and wanted to share my experience, especially around pricing, schedule disruption, and customer support. 1. Price The main reason I booked was cost. The ticket was around 40 percent cheaper than competitors like Emirates and Qatar Airways, which is a...

My girlfriend is currently in Crete and was supposed to fly back to Canada in about 5 hours. When she tried to check in today, she discovered Lufthansa had moved her return flight to one day earlier and she had already missed it. Apparently they sent an email notification about...

Pretty much what the title says. We were flying with our infant on a 7-hour flight and paid about $200 extra specifically for the infant-friendly bulkhead seats with extra space. There were four of us traveling together. On the outbound flight, everything worked perfectly and...

I remember reading about hotel lock failures before, but I didn’t think it would actually happen to me. Last month I stayed at a Homewood Suites property I often use for work travel. I flew in for an on-site client visit and went down briefly in the morning for hot water and...

This is mostly just a rant, but after several sailings with Virgin Voyages, it honestly feels like the experience has declined quite a bit recently. We ran into issue after issue throughout this cruise, and what frustrated us most wasn’t even the problems themselves, but how...

I had a really frustrating experience with FlixBus and I’m wondering if anyone has dealt with something similar. I was scheduled to take a bus from Berlin to Paris departing at 8:55 PM. My friends and I arrived at the Berlin Central Bus Station about an hour early, and initially...

I had a one-way flight booked to New Orleans in two weeks with Spirit Airlines. Today, my reservation was suddenly canceled and I received a refund for the ticket. The issue is that I originally booked a non-refundable fare, so I am not sure how the cancellation happened from my...

Hello, I want to share a simple travel practice that has repeatedly helped me avoid complications: always carry printed hard copies of your confirmed flight and accommodation bookings. In an increasingly digital travel environment, most people rely entirely on airline apps,...

My wife and I booked a one-night stay at LondonHouse Chicago using a Hilton Free Night Certificate for a layover on May 13. It was a carefully chosen location for walking access to our plans in the area. However, the reservation was mistakenly processed using points instead of...

Hi, I recently got a new phone and had to log back into all my travel apps. When I opened the Scandinavian Airlines app, my upcoming flight to Stockholm in September no longer appears in my account. I tried adding the booking again using my reference number, but the app then...

A travel issue involving Southwest Airlines after a family trip to a volleyball tournament in Reno. The passengers originally flew from Burbank with a connection through Las Vegas. When trying to return home, the airline system showed that they never boarded the connecting...

I applied for a Schengen visa for the Netherlands through the French Consulate General on March 11, 2026, with a planned travel date of April 2. It has now been 37 days, and I still do not have either my visa or my passport returned. Because of the delay, I had to cancel both my...

On a flight from United Airlines traveling from Houston (IAH) to Las Vegas (LAS), the aircraft was full. A very large passenger seated in the middle seat immediately raised both armrests and stated that it was the only way he could fit. This left the adjacent passenger in an...

I travel frequently on long haul flights, around 10 to 15 times a year, and I have celiac disease. Because of this, I always request a gluten free meal right after booking. Despite doing this properly, 3 out of my last 6 flights did not provide my requested meal. On two...

I’m looking for advice after a frustrating experience at JFK on April 15. I booked two tickets from New York to Copenhagen directly through SAS (117 ticket numbers), with the flight operated by Delta. I even confirmed the booking with SAS the night before, and everything seemed...

Hi everyone, I wanted to share our experience with Philippine Airlines (PAL) and see if anyone has gone through something similar or has advice. My boyfriend booked a roundtrip itinerary: Indiana → Seattle → Manila → Cebu. The Indiana–Seattle segment was operated by Alaska...

This is the second time I’ve booked Spirit Airlines and the second time my flight has been cancelled. The last cancellation happened just 3 hours before departure, and this time it was a week in advance. The issue is that now all other airlines are extremely expensive, and...

I booked a Basic Economy ticket on United Airlines and selected a specific aisle seat in advance. My printed boarding pass also showed that assigned seat. However, when I boarded the flight, another passenger was already sitting in my seat. We compared boarding passes and...

Earlier this year, I booked a Condor flight from Seattle to Frankfurt for a summer trip, but I was accidentally charged twice. Condor denied the duplicate charge, so I had my credit card company reverse one of the transactions while the other payment remained. In February,...

I was really excited to try Virgin Voyages after getting into cruising, but I now need to cancel or move a sailing I booked for February 2027 because I’ve been invited to a wedding that conflicts with the trip. I originally booked the cruise as a First Mate while I was a travel...

I have a fully paid cruise coming up next month and contacted the cruise line to book a transfer from Whittier to Anchorage. I was told I had to arrange it through Costco Travel since that’s where I booked the cruise. I called them and set up the transfer, but shortly after,...
