I've taken a few flights I'm always uncomfortable, those neck pillows don't help at all, my neck aches after an hour or two on those seats and I get headaches quite easily. Also I can never sleep so if it's a night flight I'm really tired the day after the flight too. I've got a 9 hour flight coming up and wondering if anyone had found things that help get through it and makes it more comfortable. Thanks
Looking for a quick trip out of the country to chill for me & my husband. We usually go to Mexico, which we love but want to try something else. We’d fly out Saturday & come back Tuesday. Flying out from Austin. Let me know!
Once a year my husband and I visit his family out of the country for at least a month, sometimes more.
Before we leave I tell our building manager (so they know to message us on whatsapp instead of calling in case there’s an emergency and they need to get into our apartment), register with Canadians Abroad (because we go to the Middle East and you never know if shit is gonna go sideways and you need to get out), and give our flight dates to my parents (just to keep them in the loop)
I’m a planner while my husband is an impulsive laissez-faire type and thinks this is all overkill.
Curious what other travellers do. Aside from generally talking about your trip with friends, do you specifically notify anyone when you go out of town for more than a couple weeks?
Hello. So we have been to many countries in Europe, some multiple times(Italy, France, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Spain, the Netherlands, England). We’re probably winding down our extensive European travel for financial and age reasons, but we’re planning at least one more trip. We keep thinking we should go to Greece, but every time we look at it, it just doesn’t pull us like some other counties have. When traveling we love medieval architecture, wandering small charming towns, beautiful green countyside, wine tasting, seeing interesting sites, trying new food, embracing new cultures. We do love seeing ancient historical sites like Pompeii and sites in Rome, they were astonishing, but we get our fill of these very quickly, we don’t want to visit ruins for days at a time. Franky the same for museums and art galleries. We do very much appreciate and enjoy them but a little goes a long way. We also aren’t really that interested in beach time in Europe. Our favorite places have been Italy, France and Spain. We have watched multiple travel videos on Greece and though lovely, the dry arid landscape doesn’t really move us, the ruins look very interesting but just for a day or 2, and the beaches are nice but not an enormous draw. We saw a video of Portugal and it immediately appealed to us more, the landscape and towns, but Portugal is lower on most people’s travel bucket lists. I am truly not criticizing either country, just wondering if Greece is really not for us. But being fairly well traveled, it seems foolish to choose to never have visited a country as famous and loved as Greece. Any thoughts on what we may be missing? Maybe there is something we are just not understanding about Greek travel? Thanks.
Curious how people really spend flights. On your last flight, did you bring a book? If you did, did you read it, and how much did you get through? If you didn't read, what got in the way (lighting, seat, tired, phone, something else)?
Also wondering if anyone has bought a book at the airport recently and what made you grab it.
As an avid reader and traveler I'd love to hear about yalls experiences!
My fiancé and I are planning a 1.5-2 month trip in Europe and ChatGPT is the king of optimism, I want to get maybe some real travelers experience I want to visit the UK, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Spain, and Italy within 60 days.
We have a budget of $13,000 including air travel. We're willing to do hostels or budget hotels, we don't do any fine dining, we don't drink alcohol, we prefer street food over sit-down restaurants.
We would be walking wherever we can, otherwise public transportation (bus, subway).
Our big spends will be on theme parks because we're going to quite a few.
And maybe in each country try to get one "must-do" thing done there for tourism purposes.
I budgeted for $175 a day in total, I expect we'll spend the most time in cheaper countries.
And seeing what we should in the big ones, tell us if we're crazy or not??
I’m planning to travel from Korea to Switzerland at the end of November to visit an old friend.
The problem is, flight prices seem really expensive these days 😭 I guess fuel prices and everything else have pushed up the fares.
Does anyone have any tips for finding cheaper flights to Switzerland?
Just for a super quick look into the city. Obviously, not to do anything that exciting, but would this give me enough time to take a train or bus or something into the city for a bit, see the pretty downtown/center area and head back?
So I am graduating from a long long treatment road in December. I want to celebrate this with a trip of some sort. But that’s about all I know. The world is huge. I don’t have a a solid knowledge of budget mostly because it a few months away and I have time to save. I work at a hospital and can take call shifts to save money solely for this trip. So I guess I have a few questions here.
Does $250 a day sound feasible for a decent trip? Not necessarily luxury but not roughing it? Budget can totally be adjusted, I’m willing to work for it.
What have been some of your favorite travels? This may help me get an idea?
I’m really open to anything honestly. I’m in Florida and I have a passport. I’ve thought about staying at haunted places, European or Alaskan cruise, going to a European country, crater of diamonds, dark skies park, national park. Honestly I’m lost. Advice and input is so greatly appreciated!
EDIT: Forgot to add some detail lol. Length of trip is kind of up in the air. Probably at least a week but depending on the location that could turn into longer (obviously if international). As for who is going don’t know. I would love to have someone to go with me. My 19yo niece seems excited but if I(28F) end up going solo so be it.
