Chasing Deals or Chasing Nightmares? My Love-Hate Relationship with Trip.com

 I've had a bit of a mixed experience with Trip.com over the years. On the one hand, I've been able to find some great deals on flights and hotels through their platform, with prices that are often significantly lower than what I can find on other major travel booking sites. The app is also pretty user-friendly and makes it easy to search for and compare options across different destinations.

However, I've also run into a few issues that have given me pause about continuing to use Trip.com for all my travel bookings. The biggest problem I've encountered is with their customer service and handling of changes or cancellations to reservations. A few times now, I've had to deal with flights or hotel stays being canceled or changed by the airline or hotel, only to find that Trip.com's policies make it really difficult and expensive to get a refund or make changes on my end.

Sample Flight Itineraries: Your Ticket to Inspiration

  As a fellow travel enthusiast, I know how exciting it is to plan a big trip . But sometimes, staring at a blank calendar and endless flight options can feel a bit overwhelming. That's where sample itineraries come in handy! I love putting together sample flight plans for popular destinations. It's a great way to get inspired and see what's possible, even if you end up tweaking things later. Plus, it's just plain fun to virtually "take a trip" and imagine yourself jetting off to exotic locales. One of my favorite sample itineraries is a round-the-world adventure hitting up some bucket list spots. Imagine flying from New York to London , then hopping over to Dubai. From there, you could head to the Maldives for some beach bliss, then on to Bangkok and Tokyo before circling back to the US. It's a lot of travel, but broken up into manageable legs. Another fun one is a multi-city European jaunt. Start in Paris , then take the train to Amsterdam. From th
