7 Travel Myths You Need to Rethink About
Anyone who has traveled, pondered traveling, or even spoken about a future trip aloud will have heard at least one of the numerous myths that have arisen as a result of the travel and tourism industry. We have collected a list of the 7 travel misconceptions.
CHECK-IN EARLY WITH CHILDREN:
While this is ideal for parents with infants, as children get older, the last thing you want to do is spend another half hour on the plane. Instead, let kids run around at the airport’s play area to get some energy out. You can also be among the last to board the plane.
STREET FOOD WILL MAKE YOU SICK:
There are some of the finest fresh foods from street vendors but make sure your meal is hot (or warm), and search for the stand with the longest queue, since the food is likely to be fresher and made to order.
ONE WAY FLIGHTS ARE ALWAYS EXPENSIVE THAN RETURN FLIGHTS:
We’ve discovered that most airlines no longer give a discount on return tickets. There might be exceptions, so always check.
DUTY-FREE SHOPPING IS ALWAYS CHEAPER:
Duty-free shopping can be a wonderful deal at times; however, it is common for duty-free businesses to be more expensive than buying locally.
LUXURY HOTELS ARE VALUE FOR MONEY:
While some luxury hotels have amazing rooms, stunning locations, and stellar staff, many are a money grab. Don’t assume that a high price equates to excellent service, complimentary hotel facilities, and first-rate accommodations. We’ve also discovered that the more costly the hotel, the more likely they are to charge for amenities such as Wi-Fi, parking, and breakfast.
PACKAGE DEALS ARE ALWAYS THE BEST DEAL:
While package offers are sometimes an excellent value, especially all-inclusive ones, many are simply marketing ploys. If you do your research and price out all of the components of a package independently, you could be startled to find that you’re paying more for the bundle.
ALL OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION, INCLUDING CREDIT CARD NUMBERS, IS CODED ON HOTEL KEY CARDS:
Nope. The only information on hotel key cards is a code that opens your door and some basic personal information. If you’re concerned, simply retain the card. Hotels normally don’t mind if you return the cards or not.
