Hi everyone!

I’m fairly new to the frequent travel to work world and was looking for any tips & tricks I should pay attention to (e.g., best hotel chains, how to earn points faster, negotiating prices, etc.). Any help is appreciated in advance.

Thank you! ☺️

Help!! My bestfriend is doing two months abroad and was trying to fly into turkey when they told her she couldn't because her passport expired within three months.

She went to the US Embassay in Athens knowing she had a month left of traveling, and gave her an emergency passport and punched holes in her exsisting one. Now no country will let her in with her emergency passport.

Can her mom get her a passport in the US and ship it to her? Is there anyway around this?

Thank you!!
