Robin Long+FollowPlane Seat Kickers: What Can You Actually Do?Ever had someone kick your seat nonstop on a flight and the crew just shrugs it off? Turns out, unless it’s a safety issue, airlines expect you to just deal. If polite hints don’t work, ask the flight attendant to directly instruct the kicker. But don’t expect miracles mid-flight—your best shot at compensation or action is filing a detailed complaint after you land.

Justin Dixon+FollowThe Truth About Carnival’s ‘Upgrade Fairy’Ever heard of Carnival’s mysterious ‘upgrade fairy’ who magically bumps you to a balcony room? Turns out, free upgrades are super rare these days—most offers come with a fee, not fairy dust. With cruises selling out faster than ever, don’t bank on a complimentary upgrade. If you’re hoping for a better room, reach out to guest services or your travel agent, but keep those expectations realistic! #Travel #CarnivalCruise #TravelTips10Share

Alexander Thomas+FollowAmerican Airlines’ Sneaky Baggage Fee HikeJust when you thought you’d found a travel hack, American Airlines quietly ditched their cheaper checked bag fee for short international flights. Now, you’ll pay $40 for your first checked bag to places like Mexico or Canada—same as domestic. It’s only a $5 bump, but for families or groups, that adds up fast! The only way to save? Prepay for your bag online and you’ll still snag a $5 discount. Otherwise, those extra fees are here to stay. #Travel #AmericanAirlines #TravelTips10Share
Kelly Mack+FollowNational Park Fees Are About to SkyrocketPlanning a trip to a US national park? Heads up: starting in 2026, non-residents will have to cough up $250 for an annual pass (it used to be $80!). US residents need a valid ID to get the lower price at 11 major parks, or you’ll be charged as a foreign visitor. Foreigners can still pay per visit, but there’s a $100 surcharge. Some parks are still free, but double-check before you go! #Travel #NationalParks #TravelTips01Share
