My grandmother is traveling in Italy and fell while in Rome. She shattered her hip and is in the hospital. The doctors say she needs surgery but U.S. Medicare says they won’t cover it. By the sounds of it, my grandparents are left with two options: (1) pay for surgery in advance or (2) pay for a medical flight home. Apparently a medical flight costs upwards of $100 grand, which isn’t doable for my family. Any advice?
Note: their flight home is booked for Tuesday, June 6. Doctors say she needs to do surgery tomorrow (May 30) to make the flight home.

Hey!
Me and a friend are doing a roadtrip across these locations and we thought of putting it through blablacar and travel forums, etc.
Anyone interested in coming in at least one of these segments? I also have a camping site reservation that goes up for 6 people, in both parks. In case you want to come but don't have a reservation to camp.
Departing on September 6, 8 and 10.

So I'm flying across the country soon and my girlfriend is terrified of planes to the point she's afraid I'm going to be in a plane crash. I was wondering if there are any means to track a flight, not in real time because I don't think that's a thing but is there anything close to real time?
If that's unrealistic I understand but I'm really just looking for any option to keep her from worrying too much. Any ideas are welcome, the flight won't have WiFi

What are your favorite travel shows? I just recently finished The “Reluctant Traveler with Eugene Levy” and “Rainn Wilson and the Geography of Bliss”.
Hey everyone,
I’m based in the UK but will be spending the next 12 months traveling Europe while working remotely.
I have a chihuahua that I’m planning on taking with me and I’m having trouble finding a carrying case that doesn’t look flimsy and doesn’t have horrible reviews.
Ideally it will have wheels, can be used with a shoulder strap, and is foldable. Does anyone traveling with a dog have any recommendations? I’ve been searching for over a week and can’t find anything that doesn’t look awful. Thanks in advance!

Hi all,
I have a 3 hour layover in Singapore to Japan. I'm flying economy so I won't be able to skip a lot of the process like a Business person haha.
Would this be enough time to explore the airport?
I'll be travelling early December, in case it's relevant due to overcrowding.
Thank you for taking the time to help with your answers! :)

2 friends of mine are flying home as we speak from a 7 months travel in Australia. I will be waiting at the airport, together with some friends, as a surprise (they're getting picked up by parents) What would be a fun way to surprise them even more? Looking for something memorable. I also have access to their home, so I could also plant somrthing there.

Not sure if this is a common talking point on this sub, so I apologize if so. I don't come here often. I just wanted to vent about first/business class nowadays.
I think for 90% of people, it's just a plain scam. A lot of people think it's worth it, but I think for 90% of these people, they just value the lie-down seats. Reddit is full of people defending why it is worth it to them, and the number one thing they mention is feeling "rested" and "not being able to sleep sitting down." The mistake is thinking that airlines have to package the various other perks with the lie-down seats. They don't
I'm an older traveler, and I remember when first/business class was basically just large regular seats that lie down. No suite enclosure, few fancy gadgets and perks, not entertainment system (they used to just have a RBG projector on a screen up front). And the best part was that it was relatively affordable. Like affordable that I, as an upper-middle class person, could fly it on every transcontinental flight.
Today, it feels like airlines just added a bunch of "luxury" perks that are high-margin for the business, then price first/business class at 5 to 10x the price of economy. So only 1%ers, fortune 500 businesses, and credit card churners can afford the seats. I just want a freaking 1.5 to 2.5x price premium for lie-down seats. You can keep the rest of the perks.
