Travel

Everything on the site about travel: practices to vote on, common pricing problems, and the tactics companies use to charge more.

Fair or not?

Is it fair to keep all your money when you cancel a trip, room or event well in advance?

Resort fees, bag fees and rental car add-ons that raise the price

High-pressure pitches, rising yearly fees and costly 'exit' offers.

Surge pricing, cancellation and cleaning fees can make a short ride costly.

The first price looks great. Then fees drip in, one by one, until you reach checkout.

Prices that change by the hour, by demand or by who you are. How it works and how to pay less.

Points and miles that expire or suddenly buy less than they did when you earned them.
