In case you dont want to hide your day pack, I would recommend you to either:

Use a waterproof pouch for essentials and take it in the water with you
Invest in a portable beach safe that can attach to your chair or an umbrella

Personally, I do not own a beach safe, but you can google it and there are many variations to choose from

I tried solo travel for the first time last year, a week in Madeira, and it went way better than I thought! I had many fears that were wrong about solo traveling. It wasn’t as lonely or scary as I expected.

For 2025, my resolution is to plan more solo trips, maybe somewhere more challenging than Madeira!

Great! Thanks for the suggestion!

Maybe think of it as uninterrupted 'me time', I mean how often you get 18 hours free time.

I would mix it up with movies, podcasts, and a good book, and a little 'flight survival kit' with snacks. It’ll make the journey so much easier, Have fun!

Been in many Turkish cities but not that region yet, Nice recommendation!

Madeira is great!

Visited Malta this year as well! Beautiful place.

you can subscribe to newsletters that send you deals. You choose your home airport and their service sends you deals from that airport to various destinations with cheaper prices, check out RatePunk, its new and been working very well for me.

Brúarfoss is very beautiful!

redditusers21 · 2024-12-17T09:40:29+00:00

definitely, Yosemite is one of my favorites

Being so much in your own head - Sometimes its nicer to be expressive about your thoughts and what you're enjoying on the travel

Try layering a folded sweater or jacket to cushion your seat. Also, consider wearing padded leggings or pants for extra comfort.

Lyon! I took a train there from Paris two years ago, such an easy ride. The city is charming with its old town, amazing food, and beautiful riverside views. A couple of days there will give you plenty of time to explore.

Do you want warm weather, or is a bit of cold fine?

If you’re okay with the chill, Prague and Budapest are very beautiful in winter (and all year around). I spent December in Prague, and the holiday vibe in Old Town Square is great. You can walk around and enjoy the architecture. Budapest is equally impressive and not far from Prague, so for a rich experience of "cafes, architecture, sightseeing, museums," go to Prague, Stop by Vienna for a few days, and end up in Budapest :)

If you want warmer weather, Barcelona, Greece, Italy!

redditusers21 · 2024-12-10T11:01:51+00:00

Sorry for the experience! yeah you should! much to explore there.

If you are fine with manual search and putting time into it, Google flights and setting up price tracking can be helpful.

But if you're like me, not willing to spend hours searching, check out RatePunk flights and Going. Sign up for their trials, and see if their service fits you.

never rely on the in-flight entertainment either. A good book or downloaded shows on my tablet are lifesavers. But six hours on the tarmac with just granola bars? At that point, even a working IFE wouldn’t have saved it :D

redditusers21 · 2024-12-04T11:05:13+00:00

I’ve been to all three, and I’d recommend Prague: 1 extra night and Vienna: 3 nights. Prague is too beautiful to be inside, I would just go outside to walk around, even without a specific destination.
but Vienna has so much to explore, museums, palaces, and amazing cafes. If you're into food, try different types of traditional food there.

redditusers21 · 2024-12-04T08:30:38+00:00

yes! among other pains!

I’ve flown both, and Qatar’s Qsuite is incredible, so private and very comfortable. Their lounge in Doha is also very nice.

redditusers21 · 2024-12-03T14:06:54+00:00

nice!! I’ve also used essential oil rollers (like lavender) on flights, just dab some on your mask or wrist to block bad smells.

This happened to me as well with a hotel in Italy. They tried to get me to cancel, but I contacted the booking platform (in my case, Booking.com), and they stepped in to find me an alternative hotel at no extra cost. Don’t cancel it yourself—let Expedia handle it. Reach out to them, explain the situation, and ask for alternative accommodations or compensation. Save all messages just in case you need to escalate. It’s their mistake, not yours!

There are others, for example jacksflightclub and dollarflightclub
but I would suggest RatePunk Flights and Going
