When it comes to securing the best seat on a plane, you're often stuck choosing your battles. Sure, you can splurge on a first or business-class ticket to get maximum comfort, but that means digging deep into your wallet. Or, you can save some cash and squeeze into a cramped coach seat, relying on viral TikTok hacks to make it bearable and a wee bit comfier. Ultimately, it's all about your personal preference and tolerance levels. However, if personal space is your top priority, consider the advice of travel experts: choose a seat at the back of the plane. Yes, the very seats that many dread might actually be your best bet for some peace and quiet.

Top 10 Hotels in the U.S., According To Actual Travelers

With flight prices soaring, travelers are getting increasingly inventive in the hunt for cheaper airfare. Some stoop to borderline dubious hacks — like skiplagging — that airlines hate, while others play the waiting game for that certain day of the week that allows for cheaper flights. But when your itinerary is packed and involves jumping from one city to another, resorting to these tricks and booking flights the usual way (a.k.a. roundtrip) may seem impractical and even more costly. Instead, consider booking multi-city flights, a strategy that could yield savings and convenience, according to Victoria Fricke, owner of Vic's Vacations travel agency.

The Best Way To Utilize Multi-City Flights And Save Money While Booking

It's the worst feeling in the world. You've been planning your vacation for months, saving up and making sure every detail is covered. You're at the airport and ready to board when you hear your flight has been delayed for hours. Maybe it's even been canceled. Like the other passengers on your flight, you rush to the customer service line to get rebooked so you don't miss your connection or get in too late to do what you planned for the day. Then, you wait.

The Time-Wasting Mistake Many Travelers Make When Their Flight Is Canceled Or Delayed

Traveling alone can be a freeing experience. You don't have anyone else's needs to consider. You can get up early or sleep in, eat whenever you're hungry, and see and do only the things you want to. Of course, there are some downsides, one of which is that it can be difficult to find accommodation within your budget. Travel expert Rick Steves says on his website that it can actually cost you more. He explains, "Rarely is a single room just half the price of a double. If a double room costs $100, a single room will generally be about $80 — making your stay $30 more expensive each night than if you were sharing the room and the cost." However, Steves has a number of ideas, including looking at specific comparison travel sites like Booking.com and Hotels.com, which often have accommodations for those traveling alone.

Have you tried guessing? With so much pricey real estate all over the country it's hard to believe it can be narrowed to down to a single town. Before I saw which town is the most expensive place to live in the United States, I couldn't help but guess it's going to be on the water. However the wealthy winter and summer havens of Aspen, Colorado, or Jackson Hole, Wyoming crossed my mind as well but alas, water rules in this case.

Unless you're Kim Kardashian, Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, or another celebrity who can jump onto their private jet whenever they want, you are stuck enduring the chaos of airports and security checks. Whether you're living it up in first class or squished into a coach seat, you're still at the mercy of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Yes, that means obeying the infamous 3-1-1 liquid rule, stripping off your shoes, belt, and jacket, cramming your carry-on into an X-ray machine, and possibly being barked at by an officer. That is, unless you've made your life easier with TSA PreCheck, rendering the whole ordeal a tad more bearable.

I travel to 20+ countries a year sharing my firsthand knowledge of reward travel, travel credit card deals, travel tips and more. One of the big travel stories of the year was the frightening January 5th incident that took place on Alaska Airlines shortly after takeoff from Portland, Oregon (PDX). At 16,000 feet, a 60-pound door plug blew out from a nearly new Boeing 737 MAX 9, leaving a gaping hole in the fuselage. Miraculously, no one was killed but the incident raised some serious questions. It turns out Boeing and Alaska knew of the potential dangers.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.
