Multicity flights

What is the best way to book multicity flights under 1 pnr or is it just better to book each flight differently. Also if each flight are booked at different platforms what will happen in case of flight cancel, delay will be fine since there will be a few days gap.

I am looking to book flights from india to Vietnam , vietnam to thailand and thailand to india.

I am new to this stuff, sorry if it's a noob question.

How to secure tickets for popular London shows before they sell out?

I've had a couple of clients recently asking for tickets to popular London shows, like West End plays and Harry Potter studios. Everythings great until i realize how fast these tickets sell out. Ive had a few clients miss out because i couldnt secure them in time, and its been a major headache.

The thing is, you cant just assume availability, i need to move fast or risk losing the chance to book them at all.

Do any of you know how to secure tickets for big shows in cities like London without stressing over availability?

Which country in the world will be the most accepting of my appearance?

So I live in a pretty nondescript city in the UK and I have quite a unique and startling appearance and people react quite negatively to my appearance on a regular basis, I get weird stares most times I go out, people sometimes laugh at me, people sometimes scrunch their faces at me, I've had people randomly thrown stuff at me and make animal noises at me, I've almost made someone crash their car one time because they kept staring at whilst they were driving, if you're that curious to see how I look my pics are in my history

I'm just wondering where in the world people might be more open minded and accepting of people with unique appearances, somewhere where I can go and blend in more instead of sticking out like a sore thumb, I can't really think of anywhere myself, maybe somewhere with a high amount of eccentric people like NYC or Portland or LA? I just wanna experience being in public without being treated like an alien at least once before I step off this mortal coil

Traveling from Sweden to US.

Hi friends, I'm new here but have a quick question that someone might know the answer to!

My boyfriend is flying in from Sweden and his passport and ID has his name listed like this:

Middle / First

Last name / last name (he has two last names)

Priceline has it listed as First, Middle, then both last names.

I've contacted Priceline twice and they've yet to fix this because it's correctly typed out, but upon doing some research, it should be listed exactly how it shows up on his passport & ID.

I'm making some calls tomorrow/sending emails, but should I even worry about trying to contact Priceline again? I've even sent them his passport and ID and they said everything was good on their end.

Accommodations Check-In

For my next trip I’ve booked accommodations between expedia, booking, and airbnb. But regardless of which site, about half of the stays want to know when I am checking in. I don’t know. Even if I give them a range it could turn out to be wrong. I am used to accommodations just having earliest and latest check-in times and me arriving somewhere between the two. I don’t know if this is a new practice or just more common for Ireland to do. Should I offer a wide time range and leave it at that? I don’t know the reasoning on their end, if they are going to clean the room later than 3pm because I said 5pm, or if they want to just show up at the time I say and leave again?

Taking a break from Hyped Countries (Like those from West and Central Europe), and looking for Underrated Countries Next (Like South America, Central Asia, Subsaharan Africa, etc.)

Europe was definitely beautiful, but after doing 30 European countries within the past 2 years, I am thinking of going to more unique and exotic adventures, like my next booked flights and hotels will now be Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Kazakhstan; and then Subsaharan countries like Namibia and Kenya.
After those countries, which are some other interesting countries with <20 million annual tourists?

I just want countries with low expectations but have better actual experiences (Like Armenia was expected to be a 5/10, but it was like a 7/10; whereas Barcelona and Paris were expected to be a 9/10, but were just 6.5/10).

A full list of countries that I have already been to that have <20 million tourists so far are:
Peru, Philippines, Georgia, Armenia, Argentina, Brazil, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Ecuador, Bolivia, Chile, Venezuela, various Balkan countries, etc.

Please don’t add the dangerous countries like North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Afghanistan… Venezuela was already enough for me.

Where should I go next?

I’m trying to explore more of the world… I’ve been to various countries in Europe (France, Germany, UK, Poland, southern Italy), probably half of the US states, and Mexico (Playa del Carmen)… but that’s it!

I’ve been looking for something warm and beachy or tropical - was thinking Costa Rica or Spain but I feel overwhelmed with options.

Any suggestions?

Recent Opportunity - need advice.

Hello everyone;

Long story short, funding meant exclusively for travel has been awarded to me by my employer. I have $3500USD in credit to travel anywhere. I'm a single father of two with our family vacations already booked. I'm thinking of taking a short trip for me. The challenge is I really don't travel. Ever. I don't have any idea where to start.

Are there such things as short term travel groups? I can't see myself being gone for longer than a few days.

I'm based in the Canadian West. I'd like to travel with a group as I've heard good things. I enjoy colder climates and seeing wildlife and nature more than events or concerts. I'm not out of shape but I'm not trekking the Appalachian any time soon.

Any resources, suggestions, or guidance for travel out of Canada somewhere in the world would be appreciated with that budget (and some wiggle room) in mind.

Thanks for your help.

Maldives in September

Hi, after some advice regarding which island to go to in the Maldives please. We’ve got 5 nights at the end of three weeks travelling around Sri Lanka, so are looking for somewhere to relax before coming back to Australia.
We’d like somewhere that’s reachable from Male Airport by speedboat, at not excessive a price. We’d prefer all inclusive, but not worried about being at an expensive resort as opposed to a local island - alcohol isn’t a necessity. Would like easily accessible snorkelling - I’m a bit of a wimp in the water so don’t like being out of my depth! OH is a diver though so he wouldn’t mind doing some of that: I’ve read that whale sharks are a possibility that time of year?
I’ve currently got a place (refundable) booked in Dhiffushi, but now wondering if we should instead be looking in the southern islands instead? Maybe Guraidhoo?
Anyone been to both and can offer any ideas or comparisons?

going from the US to istanbul over the summer -- what other country can I pack in?

hi! as the title suggests, I'm flying to istanbul in mid july. since istanbul airport is a huge connecting hub, I want to visit another country while I'm there. I'll probably have 4-5 days to spare. I'm thinking a vibrant, cultural experience and bonus if there is a beach nearby. most importantly, it needs to be somewhere I've never been, so here is a list of places I've already visited:
- rome, italy
- barcelona/madrid/san sebastian/granada, spain
- berlin, germany
- zurich, switzerland
- vienna, austria
- paris, france (and small towns in brittany)
- amsterdam, netherlands
- london, UK
- dublin, ireland
- athens, thessaloniki, and a few greek islands

it will be me, 30F, and my sister, 24F, so our sense of safety is a consideration always. please help!! ty <3

US Citizen Flying Europe Domestic

My husband and I are taking our first trip outside the Americas next week! We have 2 Europe domestic flights (BCN > Rome & Rome > MAD) and I am just wondering how much time to give ourselves at the airport. I know arriving from the US and leaving to the US we need a lot of time with the new EES implementation.. should we prepare for that too domestically given we both only have US passports? Not sure if anyone has gone recently and experienced this. We are taking some trains and would appreciate advice on timing for trains too

How does an eSIM work when trying to avoid crazy carrier roaming fees?

Preparing to head out on a multi-month solo trip across several countries next month and trying to sort out my esim situation at the moment. All posts here in the community keeps mentioning digital SIM cards as the ultimate recommendation for frequent travelers.

However i'm lost on whats worth the price and hoping theres like an unlimited option so that it wouldnt be a hassle to keep reloading. Also I hope to find something that keeps the main number active for emergency texts while using a separate, affordable digital data network for maps, translation apps, and work messages.

Cairo as a female wheelchair user?

Hi all,

What it says on the tin. I'm contemplating going to Cairo for five days next spring as part of an art study group. I'm a female wheelchair user (mid 30s). We'll be staying in Bayt Yakan and walking to classes in local mosques etc. with the group leaders (European, but with experience and contacts in Cairo) I can't decide whether or not to go, and I was hoping to get some advice from locals or those who have been in Cairo recently.

  • I'm assuming that the staring will be worse as I use a wheelchair, but I'm worried by all the stories of harassment on here. On the other hand, maybe the wheelchair would mean I can avoid that...
  • Toilets - is it fairly easy to find Western style toilets that I would be able to use during the day?

I use a wheelchair outdoors or for long distances, but can also walk with crutches and tackle short flights of steps. The group organisers would be happy to lift the wheelchair into buildings with steps for me so that I can keep it with me. I have an attachment on my chair which lifts the front wheels to make cobbles/uneven streets etc. easier

Any thoughts much appreciated! I'm trying to decide if the experience would be practical, and worth any potential hassle.

Need rec for sleep gummies

I can't sleep on planes. I have tried all different neck pillows, noise canceling head phones, eye masks, doing my routine to trick myself into sleeping and nothing works. I have a long haul travel day that covers 2 days of layovers and plan rides. I have a 9 hour overnight flight I really want to sleep on. I haven't tried anything melatonin before so what are some of the best ones and how did you get them through TSA.

我在东南亚,日本,西班牙之间犹豫

我打算暑假带妹妹来一场10天的旅行,她还没成年,我想我可以监护她,但是可能有些发达国家不许这样?我会从中国出发

但是我很难抉择到底去哪,本来想去日本,但是中日形势现在似乎十分严峻

然后想去东南亚,新加坡马来西亚泰国,有必要报旅游团吗?三个国家会不会太赶了?听说两个女性去马来西亚不安全?真的吗?

我打算大学选西班牙语,我其实好像也有点想去西班牙看看,但是如果坐这么久飞机只去西班牙感觉又很亏,对吧?

所以说,暑假还是太短了!

im torwn between two destinations: orlando or chicago?

Hey everyone!

I’m planning a trip with my mom from July 23rd to August 3rd (around 11–12 days total), and I’m having a massive dilemma with our itinerary. I’d love to get your reality checks and recommendations on this.

Option 1 (The original plan):

  • Fly into Miami.
  • Take a 5-day Royal Caribbean cruise.
  • Once we get back, spend the remaining 4–5 days in Orlando because i want to vistiir harry potter world

The issue: I feel like a 5-day cruise is going to eat up way too much of our time. It leaves us with a super rushed, high-stress marathon in Orlando between the driving/traveling, the summer heat/rain

Option 2 (The alternative): I’ve always wanted to visit Chicago, but I know 11 days there is probably too much for a first-time visit. So, I’m thinking about skipping Miami and the cruise entirely and doing a Chicago + Orlando split.

I could do about 4 days in Chicago (I hear summer is the absolute best time to visit for the architecture tours and walking around) and then catch a domestic flight to Orlando for the remaining 7 days.

What would you do in my position given the 11-day timeframe? Is the Florida + cruise combo worth the tight schedule, or is the Chicago + Orlando contrast a better, more balanced trip to do with my mom?

Thanks in advance for the help!

I accidentally put my first name as last name and last as first

Need some advice regarding an international flight booking issue 🙏

I booked an international ticket with Qatar Airways from ECN to DOH to COK , but I accidentally entered my first name and last name in reverse order while booking. There are no spelling mistakes and all parts of the name are correct, only the order is different.

The itinerary also includes another airline segment, and both the airline said they cannot officially change the name because it’s a mixed-airline booking. However The agency emailed saying the passenger should still be allowed to board.

My flight is on June 2, so I’m still a bit nervous.

Has anyone here traveled with a similar first name/last name swap issue on an international flight? Did airline staff allow boarding without problems?

Any experiences or advice would really help.
