But what if you paid extra for a window seat or extra legroom? There's a heated discussion doing the rounds on social media about when you should switch seats, and under what circumstances you should refuse. Proceed with cautionSome travelers have been sharing their experiences on social media, saying that caution should be exercised when someone asks to switch seats because people "don't always have the best intentions." Airlines offer options to choose seats in advance, so it's good practice for passengers to get in the habit of planning ahead. "From a glass of fizz, to extra pillows and blankets, or maybe some treats from a premium cabin if available."

Some cruise ship cabins can be rockier than others, like those situated at the front of the ship. Joey Hadden/Business InsiderBefore booking, I wish I'd researched how the location of a cabin can affect the amount of motion you feel while the ship is moving. My ocean-view stateroom was at the front of the ship, and I didn't expect to feel as much movement in my cabin as I did. Several seasoned cruisers on the voyage told me that the front of the ship was one of the worst places to feel motion. If you are as prone to motion sickness as I am, I suggest choosing a room in the middle of the ship.

But if you ask some Americans, airfares have gotten out of control in recent years. Keyes said international inflation-adjusted airfares for US passengers have also generally fallen over the past decade. To be sure, any frustrations about airfare prices haven't stopped many Americans from flying. "The decline in inflation-adjusted airfares appears to be uncorrelated with the financial performance of the 'big three' airlines," Tan said. AdvertisementIt's also possible that after airfare prices plummeted due to the pandemic, 2022's swift rise in airfares caught Americans off guard.

Before you book a cruise, it's important to understand that not all cruise lines are equal. Each cruise line has amenities, entertainment, and experiences tailored to specific cruisers. Carnival is good for families, Virgin Voyages for solo adults, and Cunard for mature travelers. I've sailed with most major lines, from kid-focused Disney Cruise Line to the sometimes-naughty Virgin Voyages. Each cruise line is unique, offering amenities, entertainment, and experiences tailored to specific cruisers.

How to behave as a superyacht guest

Meantime, Giorgio Armani held a party on his yacht for the likes of Sydney Sweeney and Kerry Washington. Being a guest on a superyacht is probably the best kind of guest to be — but the etiquette aboard the multimillion-dollar vessels comes with its own idiosyncrasies. The very few who need to know them — there are only about 5,800 yachts longer than 30 meters at sea, according to SuperYacht Times — already know them. The price to charter Triumph, a 65-meter superyacht, starts at $650,000 a week. According to the industry standard, owning a superyacht will cost 10% of its new-build price annually.

"One in nearly every 5 dollars spent on Ramp cards is related to flights, hotels, entertainment related to travel," Glyman said. That ultimately led Ramp to the Priceline partnership and new platform feature. The new product, called Ramp Travel, utilizes AI and automation to help streamline and simplify the process of booking and doing expenses for business travel, with Priceline providing Ramp users access to airline, hotel, and other travel inventory. The companies see an opportunity to take share from corporate travel offerings that often rely on high fees that guarantee control over where employees stay, or the carriers which travelers fly with. While a majority of Ramp customers have never raised venture capital, the average size of companies using the platform has more than doubled in the past three years, he said.

AdvertisementHomosexuality isn't illegal in Egypt, but the country is famous for its discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community. "Not all states have equal protection laws, especially for transgender and gender-diverse individuals," John Tanzella, president and CEO of the International LGBTQ+ Travel Association, told Business Insider. Airbnb hosts can indicate they're LGBTQ-friendly in their listings, and there are companies and entire cruise lines dedicated to gay travel. Perhaps the most comprehensive is the IGLTA, which has been helping members of the community travel safely since 1983. "The future of LGBTQ+ travel is bright," Tanzella said, though he cautioned significant hurdles still remain.

The author, Megan Bearce, and her husband, Ian, had just moved from Los Angeles to Minneapolis when he got a job offer in New York City in 2010. I heard this question so many times over the 10 years my husband, Ian, flew weekly from our home in Minneapolis to his job in New York City. Ian posted photos and art on the walls of the New York City apartments he stayed in during the week when he supercommuted from Minneapolis. Visits to New York City helped the kids get a glimpse of Ian's life during the week, Megan says.
