Orlando, FL

While they may be money savers or inevitabilities, layovers are stressful. Sprinting through hallways trying to make it to your gate on time is nerve-wracking and not a great way to start or end a vacation. And anyone who has been to Orlando International Airport (MCO) knows that this is not an airport for the faint of heart. In fact, it's regularly ranked as one of the worst in the country, especially for layovers.

Travel expert and TV host Samantha Brown is all about finding authentic travel experiences, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that when asked her choices for the most overrated places in the world, she chose two spots that famously cater to tourists rather than locals: the main piazzas in popular Italian cities and New York City's Times Square.

I’ve flown countless times, but one fateful trip will forever stand—or should I say “strand”?—in my memory: I had just settled into my seat for a cross-country trip when a young woman with long blond hair sat down in front of me. After takeoff, she reclined her chair … and threw her hair over the back of the seat. It dangled over my screen, nearly to my tray table and the sandwich I’d just set there to eat. Despite all my efforts to gently tuck it back into her seat (and one attempt to talk to her about it), her hair stayed in my face for the entire trip. How rude!

Deciding when to get to the airport for a flight is always a gamble. 

What if there’s a delay? Will the security lines be long? What if it takes a while to check bags?

Airports and airlines tend to typically suggest arriving two hours before departure on domestic flights and three hours on international flights. 

However, these standard guidelines don’t always apply — especially during the summer travel rush.

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) screened a staggering 2.99 million passengers at airports across the country on Sunday, June 23 — the highest number in a single day. Since the agency said that...

Hotel rooms, especially the fancy ones, always seem so inviting. Those fluffy pillows and high-thread-count sheets make you want to dive onto the bed the moment you open the door. At first glance, these rooms look spotless, but shockingly, they're dirtier than they look. And you won't find the germiest item in the bathroom. That honor goes to one of the first objects you touch when you walk in: the light switch.
