sperkins+FollowSolo Flyers, You’re Getting Hit With Sneaky FeesEver noticed flights cost more when you book just one seat? Turns out, some big airlines are quietly charging solo travelers higher fares than pairs for the same flight! It’s popping up mostly on one-way domestic trips. If you’re flying alone, try searching for two tickets and compare the price per person. If it’s cheaper, call the airline and ask for that rate. Don’t let airlines cash in on your solo adventure! #Travel #TravelHacks #SoloTravel190Share
Justin Dixon+FollowRiver crossing trend at Seven Sisters sparks safety fearsPeople heading to Seven Sisters Country Park are being urged to stick to the marked footpaths after a new social media trend has seen groups attempting to cross the River Cuckmere at its mouth. The river’s fast currents and unpredictable depths have already caused several close calls, with walkers being swept off their feet. There are no lifeguards, and the water is colder and stronger than it looks. The park team and coastguard stress that there are safe, scenic routes to enjoy the iconic cliffs—no risky shortcuts needed. What do you think: Should more be done to stop dangerous trends like this? #Travel #SevenSisters #RiverCuckmere00Share
Kelly Mack+FollowHidden gem: Silver Dollar Lake trail adventureColorado’s Silver Dollar Lake and Murray Lake trail packs a lot of scenery into a manageable day trip. Starting at a breathtaking 11,200 feet, you’ll feel the altitude right away, but the views of alpine lakes and mountain peaks are totally worth it. The trail is mostly above the treeline, so bring plenty of sun protection and water. It’s a family-friendly hike, with a steady climb and a rewarding payoff at the lakes. Afterward, grab a burger and beer in historic Georgetown—just be ready for those mountain prices! Who else has tackled this trail, or has tips for high-altitude hikes? #Travel #ColoradoHiking #FamilyAdventure00Share
