Bad Travel Hacks

Lets be honest this isn’t the only website that gives travel advice, there are a lot of ‘Travel Hacks’ around.

Not all of them are useful, so here are a couple I have seen, but I won’t be using:

Booking Separate Plane Tickets For A Single Journey

Yes it might be cheaper but it takes a lot longer if you have to collect your bags and then check in again.

If your first flight is late the next plane won’t wait and then you have to re-book and pay extra.

I would rather book through one airline. . . . . faster connection and if you miss the connection you will be automatically booked on the next flight, and put up in a hotel

Check All Your Bags (So there is less to carry)

Besides wasting time waiting at baggage, things aren’t going to go well if your bags get lost.

I’ve heard of people spending a week on a cruise with only the clothes they were wearing when they got off the plane.

The airlines will pay up to $200 compensation but that’s not going to go far buying clothes at the cruise ship shops.

I don’t have any problem with people checking in a bag as I occasionally do it myself . . . . but I always have a carry-on with enough clothes and other basics for 3-4 days.
