I have about 10 days free this fall and I honestly don't care where I go. Europe, Central America, Caribbean, whatever. For once I kind of want to find a flight that looks good and figure out the vacation afterward.

Except I've apparently forgotten how to search for flights when I don't have a destination lol.

How do you guys do this? Make a shortlist first? Check a bunch of different airports? I thought having no destination would make this easier but now I just have an absurd number of tabs open.

Hello, my upcoming flight to Buenos Aires however the arrival time is terribly at 3AM at Ezeiza airport. Anyone experiencing early arrivals over there? how did you find kiosk to buy a SUBE card then get on public bus line 8 to city center? And is it possibly find a budget saving hostel that accepts early check-in?

Any help is appreciated!

Hello all. I am planning to fly to Miami sometime soon for personal reasons. Never flown as an adult. And what id like to ask is more of a general question.

This will be the beginning of multiple flights for the foreseeable future and i want to start off correctly. How do I stack the most rewards for my purchases? What strategies are there for getting the most bang for the buck? Or any other advise when it comes to air travel inside or outside the US.

Hey everyone! I am a 22-year-old female and I really want to visit Thailand and Vietnam for a moonth, but I currently have nobody to go with. I am strongly considering traveling completely solo and staying in social hostels to meet people along the way, but since I’ve never done this before, I’m looking for some honest advice.

Is Vietnam & Thailand generally safe for a solo female traveler, and what are the main safety hazards or scams I should look out for? I would also love to hear any tips on how to easily make friends in hostels, or any suggestions on the best way to connect with other travelers while I'm out there. Any advice would be amazing!
