And they’re finding all sorts of things in travelers’ carry-ons that cause delays and those passengers to either get patted down or interrogated. If you’re traveling anytime soon,...

If you're living with an ostomy, you've likely become a pro at changing your pouch, making doctor-approved dietary choices, and learning which clothes fit most comfortably with your bag. However, flying for the first time can be daunting for even the most seasoned ostomate. No one wants to be turned away from boarding or hassled by security agents in the airport.

Almost every traveler is on the hunt for a deal. Or, if not actively on the hunt, then at least passively interested in savings—especially when it comes to flying. Flights are one of the most expensive elements of planning a trip. Unfortunately, airlines have been hit hard by inflation over the last years, as with most other products and services. Since the lockdown, the cost of flying has risen by 12%.

Forget checking bags at airports: Here's a cheaper way to travel

Disney parks have a dress code, and if they decide you've violated it, you might get asked to leave "the happiest place on Earth." In 2022, fashion and lifestyle content creator Nicole DeLosReyes posted a TikTok after experiencing just such a situation for wearing a particular item of clothing: a tie-front top. In an interview with Dr. Phil, DeLosReyes explained that a Disney World employee told her she could not enter the park unless she bought a different shirt at a gift shop or changed. She decided to do the former rather than miss out on the experience. She stated, "I wasn't told until I posted it on social media that the reason was because it was a tie-front. It was a safety hazard ... it can either get undone and flash a kid on a ride or get stuck in the ride."

The TSA doesn’t technically seize items. Their job is to identify prohibited items and inform you that they can’t pass through security in your carry-on. You have options: surrender the item, check your bag, or take the item back to your car or give it to someone not traveling. For example, if you have a shampoo bottle over the liquid limit, you’ll need to surrender it to board your flight.

What Does the TSA Do with Confiscated Items?

Summer travel season is in high gear, with many of us taking a break from work and jetting off to fun new vacation spots.

There are two types of travelers – those who travel light and those who travel with too much luggage (even for short trips). If you fall in the latter category, you are undoubtedly an overpacker. Experts believe overpacking is driven by an urge to be ready for countless ‘just in case’ situations.

12 Things You Don’t Need to Pack on Travel

Whether you've traveled from New York to Tokyo, Milwaukee to Aruba, or Tampa to Timbuktu, you've probably found that flying can be hard on your body. You may have noticed your shoes and socks feel a little tight towards the end of the journey. This type of swelling is actually pretty common. According to a 2021 study from Jornal Vascular Brasileiro, about 97% of people who take a flight longer than seven hours will experience some swelling.

Here's Why Your Ankles Swell Up During A Flight

One of the best perks of staying in a hotel vs. a rental like Airbnb is the treasure trove of free stuff you can snag and take home. You might not know this, but you can actually ask the concierge for freebies, including toiletries, laundry bags, hygiene products, and more. Sure, you can't take the robe from the hotel room (unless you're willing to pay for it), but you can usually keep the keycard as a little souvenir. Just don't forget to check out — it's a common mistake even seasoned travelers make. But as much as guests love to take things home, they also have a knack for leaving stuff behind, including valuables like jewelry and passports, which are often forgotten in the safe. A nifty hack to avoid that? Put one of your shoes in the safe. It sounds weird, but it works!
