Hi! I am going to be in the south of france for a total of 10 days after a summer camp. I've been doing endless research online and feeling very overwhelmed. We really only have 8 days after we account for traveling (coming into Nimes from Figeac). I've included the towns we want to visit and stops. What are your thoughts on the itinerary?
→Nimes
~ L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue
~ Roussillon
→ Gordes (Abbaye de Sénanque)
→ Valensole (lavender fields)
→ Sainte-Croix-du-Verdon (kayak Verdon Gorge)
→ Aix-en-Provence (Cezanne walk)
→ Cassis (Calanques National Park, maybe a hike or boat ride?)
→ Antibes (picasso museum)
→ Nice
→ Villefranche-sur-Mer OR
Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat
→Eze
I was planning on basing around the luberon valley or Nimes for the first half, maybe stay in Aix en Provence or Cassis as a base for a few, and then base in Antibes. We will rent a car and take day trips. Any input on where to stay?
A few must haves:
*relaxing/swim on the beach day
*explore luberon valley, particularly the lavender fields & flower fields
*drink provencial rose/wine maybe even go to a winery?
*explore a few classic french village towns as well as a few beach towns/seaside
*go to a market (flower, fruit, etc)

I was flying from Bozeman through ORD to my home airport today and despite being first on the Standby list, they told me I couldn't fly Standby on United if you are checking bags. Has this happened to anyone else?
I called United reservations and happened to get a Wonderful 1K agent , who said that was flatly false. She had me put her on speakerphone to help guide the agents in the process, and all 3 desk agents were rude to me AND the United reservation specialist. To boot, somehow the agents at BZN "boarded" me on the earlier connecting flight out of ORD I was on the Standby list for, which cancelled my seat on my original connecting flight later in the day. When I got on the plane at BZN I had a connecting boarding pass. When we landed it was cancelled.
Miraculously there were still seats left on my OG connecting flight and I was rebooked, checked in and got lucky with nobody sitting next to me on a nearly full flight. Hallelujah. And the 2nd United reservation agent was also amazing. I've flown United for 25 years and never experienced anything remotely similar.
This post isn't to bash United, I'm genuinely trying to find out if anyone else has ever been told by United desk agents they can't even attempt to fly Standby because they have bags to check.
PS- Since I ended up spending 6 hours at BZN, I asked AA, JetBlue and Delta about Standby travelers and checked bags. All of them allow it and were dumbfounded by my situation.

At the end of the month, I’ll be spending two weeks in Greece, ferry-hopping a few islands with a friend. I have a couple of credit cards with no international transaction fees and plan to use those for most routine purchases. But I want to withdraw some euros while I’m there. Do I really need a Revolut card or similar or can I just use my regular ATM card? I fully expect routine fees and will keep my cash withdrawals larger and less frequent, I just want to avoid any crazy fees that are going to make me cry. Any advice?

We are in the beginning stages of planning a trip to London in June. We are considering a few nights in Paris as well and wanted opinions on that. My cousin went to both and she loved England but she told me that Paris was “dirty and smelly” and to skip it. Is Paris worth a visit or should we enjoy all that London has to offer?

Hi everyone, my wife and I are trying to plan a 7-day trip in July. We want good beaches, but we want to be adventurous as well. We love jet ski, zipline, etc. We have looked at Cancun and Punta Cana, but the seaweed scares us. Our budget is 4000-5000, including everything, flying from SLC. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi everyone,
I’m planning my first Europe trip and trying to make sure the middle section isn’t too rushed. Some parts of the itinerary are locked because we’re meeting friends.
The following cannot be changed:
Oct 21–22 – Amsterdam
Oct 23–24 – Willingen, Germany (meeting friends)
Oct 31 – Fly home from Paris
So the flexible part is after Germany and before Paris.
Current idea:
Oct 21–22 – Amsterdam
Oct 23–24 – Willingen
Oct 25–26 – Cologne
Oct 27–28 – Belgium (debating where, heard bad things about Brussels)
Oct 29 - OPEN (possibly another Paris night)
Oct 30 – Paris
Oct 31 – Fly home
My questions:
Should we stay 2 nights in Bruges and day trip to Ghent?
Or base ourselves 2 nights in Ghent instead?
Is Brussels worth an overnight, or better as a quick stop?
Does this pacing feel reasonable or are we moving around too much?
We enjoy:
great scenery
walkable cities
good food and beer
cool atmosphere at night
Trying to avoid packing up every day if possible.
Appreciate any advice!
