4 Things I Wish I Knew Before Dubai

Took my American fam to Dubai and wow, I was NOT ready for how affordable luxury could be (five-star hotel for less than $225/night?!). But heads up: cultural differences are real—dress codes, gender roles, and even surprise rain thanks to cloud seeding. Also, check for local holidays like Ramadan or you might get caught off guard. Would totally go again, but next time I’ll pack smarter and plan around the culture! #News #DubaiTrip #TravelTips

Airline Water? Just Say No!

Just when you thought airplane coffee was bad, a new study found American, JetBlue, and several regional airlines have some of the sketchiest onboard water in the U.S. Researchers tested thousands of samples and found bacteria—including E. coli—in water from galley faucets and bathroom sinks. Delta and Frontier scored best, but experts say: stick to sealed bottles, skip the coffee and tea, and don’t even wash your hands in the bathroom—use sanitizer instead! #News #TravelTips #AirlineSafety

NYC & NJ airports hit travelers with surprise fee

A 3% “employee benefits and retention surcharge” is now popping up on receipts at JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark airports, and it’s catching a lot of travelers off guard. The fee, meant to cover recent minimum wage hikes for airport workers, isn’t shown until after you pay—and it’s not a tip for staff. People are frustrated by the lack of upfront disclosure, with some even cutting back on tips in protest. How do you feel about these hidden surcharges? Should businesses be required to clearly post all extra fees before you order? #News #NYCAirports #TravelTips

Is First Class Worth It for Short Flights?

Thinking about splurging on first class for a quick getaway? One traveler paid $500 to fly Delta’s premium cabin from NYC to Florida and loved the VIP vibes—fancy seats, tasty breakfast, and extra snacks. But for a three-hour trip, they say it’s not worth the upgrade. Unless you’re checking bags or need to stretch out, save your cash for a longer flight where you can really enjoy the perks! #Business #TravelTips #MoneyHacks

Charleston flights hit by winter storm chaos

Even with Charleston’s mild winter, travelers at CHS are feeling the nationwide storm headache—thousands of flights delayed across the country are causing ripple effects here. Folks heading to places like St. Louis, NYC, and Boston are seeing unexpected waits, and even those bound for sunny Las Vegas are keeping an eye on their connections. If you’re flying soon, double-check your flight status and give yourself extra time at the airport. With storms possibly lingering into New Year’s Eve, it’s smarter to plan for delays than risk missing out. Anyone else navigating travel drama this week? #News #Charleston #TravelTips

Rome’s Best Seasons—Trust Me, It Matters!

Ever wondered when Rome is actually at its best? Timing your trip is everything! Spring means cherry blossoms and citywide parties, but watch out for Easter crowds.

Why Your Next Flight Might Get Bumpier

Heads up, frequent flyers: turbulence is on the rise, and it’s not just the bumpy kind you see coming. Researchers say clear-air turbulence—think invisible potholes in the sky—is becoming more common thanks to climate change. That means more unexpected shakes, possible spills, and even higher ticket prices as airlines deal with extra wear and tear on planes. Pro tip: always keep your seatbelt buckled, even when the seatbelt sign is off! #Business #Industry #TravelTips
