Is Paypal only available at Expedia at the time of making the reservation, or perhaps also at any time up until say the cancellation cutoff?

Hello, Was looking at international flights and only OTAs are coming with a domestic flight that follows the international flight from USA. When I searched for reviews, not one OTA has sterling reviews :p Will OTAs be fine if one does not make...

We are cruising several times a year plus at least a couple of trips to Florida each year. So far we've been buying insurance through the cruise lines but I know an annual plan would offer a better value. Would want trip cancellation coverage,...

This is a question for the experienced cruisers. My wife and I have taken many cruises out of San Juan and are planning another on RC this January. Flight options on arrival to the port after the cruise are limited to either early morning (8 am...

Future Mrs. D4L and I went to see the Lord of the Rings musical in absolutely beautiful Newbury, UK last year. Fast forward to present day, the musical moved across the Atlantic to the Windy City. I’m not a LOTR fan. In fact, I’ve seen exactly zero...

No strings and no nets. After 36 years of working, raising a family and buying/fixing a house, we decided to try something different. In this case, that was to retire from our jobs, sell the house, the cars and all of our belongings save for 4...

Sorry for the false start. This is my first proper TR, so I needed some time to get my head around how to post the images properly as it's not as straight-forward as I thought. Image: *Background* This trip report is a tiny snapshot of an...

*Introduction* After enjoying reading many of the trip reports here, I thought I could try to write one myself. This is a "classic" BAEC TP Run on the Dubline - US - Spain routing, which will bring me back to Gold again. Do I need BA Gold/OWE? -...

A trip to Alaska Image: My trip last year was all about going west, way west, as far as Hawai’i. This year I set about pushing north, in Alaska. Inspiration for the trip came essentially from a TV show on the Discovery Channel, and from the...

Due to popular demand (of exactly two people ;) ) today I bring you my attempt at the most boring trip report ever to grace the Flyer Talk forum :) The genesis of today’s wandering was a post by Geordie405 in the BA Thank heavens it’s Friday...

This trip started when I found a good deal on a fly cruise to Antartica. A cabin on a reasonably nice ship with a balcony with no single supplement. And from there, like Topsy, ti grew and grew. An Argentina trip had been canceled because of the...

In the hope that the photo situation improves, I'll start a new report. It's about a little trip (9 nights) in October this year. It was to one of the European jet set destinations, the Côte d'Azur. More specifically, the Hotel du Cap Eden Roc,...

Over the past two weeks, I have been reading the trip reports posted by JapesUK and have enjoyed them immensely. I think that the reason for this is that they are written in a “down to earth” type of style, which a lot of people can relate to....

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/oct/17/tax-on-europes-frequent-flyers-could-raise-64bn-a-year-study What do you think about this nonsense? There have been similar ideas in the past, but this one seems extreme. - one flight per year free...

Tried on multiple networks and multiple photos to post a single photo, but Upload Progress gets stuck at 90.

I keep getting notifications of people quoting me but when I click on it, nothing happens, It used to take me to a list of the quotes so I could see what people were saying. Is there some way to find quotes of me

I can like all posts on mobile (Safari on iOS), but Likes don't seem to work on desktop / laptop browsers. I get far fewer likes than I used to and several folks respond saying they are unable to like my posts. When I test on Chrome on my laptop, I...

I have taken a bunch of travel pictures with an iPhone 14 in the HEIC format. Before downloading to PC, do I have to go pic by pic and chose the perfect frame FIRST on the iPhone before downloading? If I download directly I get a movie file of low...

Posted on a Canadian deals forum. SV has dropped economy fares to SE Asia (namely, BKK, KUL, CGK- lowest fare) and India with fares running C$900-1,000 r/t for the former and just under C$1,300 for the latter. Interestingly books into Semi-Flex...

Seems like business/first class passengers take what they want and leave the bag behind on their seat. Only way I would say "no" is that maybe a passenger really forgot it.
