Julie Padilla+FollowSummer Vacay Budgets Just Got a Reality CheckAnyone else notice summer trips are looking a lot more...budget-friendly? Americans are slashing their vacation spending by 25% this year, thanks to rising prices and new tariffs. Fewer people are jetting off, and most are sticking closer to home—think road trips and simple beach days instead of big getaways. Even those who are traveling are getting creative with points, splitting meals, and skipping the fancy hotels. Inflation’s got everyone rethinking what a fun summer looks like! #News #SummerTravel #BudgetVacation10Share

Dr. Michael Henson+FollowDon’t Pack This in Your Carry-On!Apparently someone tried to bring a camp stove with a propane tank through airport security—yes, really! TSA had to remind everyone: propane tanks are a big no-no in both carry-on and checked bags, even if you’re just headed to a campsite. Camp stoves are fine, but only if they’re totally empty and clean. The wildest part? TSA finds all sorts of banned stuff, from loaded guns to snow globes. Double-check your bags or risk losing your summer vacay essentials! #TravelFail #TSA #SummerTravel #Travel00Share

IvoryIllusion+Followfinding cheap summer flights: myth or real deal?I’ve been trying to plan a trip back to Germany this summer to see my family, and let me tell you, the ticket prices are making my head spin. I remember hearing from friends that airlines sometimes drop their prices for just a day or two, almost like a flash sale. Last year, I missed out on a deal by just a few hours and ended up paying way more than I wanted. This time, I’ve been checking American Airlines and a couple of other sites almost every day, but the prices just seem to keep climbing. I’m starting to wonder if these sudden price drops are even real, or if it’s just a rumor that keeps us all glued to our screens. Has anyone actually caught one of these deals? Or is it just a marketing trick to get us to keep checking? I’d love to hear if anyone has actually managed to grab a cheap summer ticket, or if I should just bite the bullet and book now before it gets even worse. Sometimes I feel like these airlines are playing games with us, and it’s honestly exhausting. #travelquestions #flightdeals #summertravel #Travel00Share
ArcticAlpaca+Followwhat should i really wear on a long flight to europe?So, I’m finally taking my first international flight—heading to Europe! I’ve been so excited, but now I’m stressing about what to wear on the plane. I picked out my thick joggers and a cozy sweatshirt because I always hear flights can get chilly. But here’s the thing: it’s the middle of summer, and I’m worried I’ll end up sweating buckets before I even board. I read somewhere that international flights crank up the AC way more than domestic ones, so now I’m second-guessing everything. Do I risk being too hot at the airport or freezing on the plane? I don’t want to be that person peeling off layers in a cramped seat, but I also don’t want to shiver for 8 hours straight. Has anyone actually flown to Europe in the summer? What did you wear, and did you regret it? Did you bring a change of clothes or just tough it out? I feel like everyone says something different online, and I’d love to hear some real stories. Why is it so hard to get this right? #travelquestions #flightattire #over50travel #europeadventure #summertravel #Travel50Share
