My passport expires in five months and I’m flying to Europe. Will I be turned away at check-in?

Nothing kills the joy of planning a European getaway faster than suddenly noticing your passport expires sooner than you remembered. One moment you’re dreaming of gelato, fjords, and tiny cobblestoned streets; the next, you’re spiraling down an internet rabbit hole about mysterious “passport validity rules” enforced by shadowy airline gate agents. Five months left might feel like plenty of time, but depending on where you’re headed, your trip could be smoother than French butter or end abruptly at the check-in counter.

A pipeline trench cut through the ground near Salerno uncovered ancient footprints left in the ash of Vesuvius.

Archaeologists never expect much from a basic utility trench, so the crew near Salerno figured it would be an ordinary job. The dirt looked the same as always until a patch of soft gray soil showed strange shapes pressed into it. Once the workers called in the experts, it became clear they had stumbled onto something incredibly rare: Bronze Age footprints left in volcanic ash from Vesuvius. If you want to know what was happening in that spot when those prints were made, and what they reveal about life long before Pompeii, keep going.

I brought my own food on the plane and the flight attendant told me I couldn’t eat it. Is that even a rule?

If you’ve ever brought your own food onto a plane, you probably assumed you’d be able to eat it. After all, you bought it, packed it, and carried it through TSA. And airlines don’t even serve real meals on most flights anymore, right? But still, travelers get told they can’t eat their own food. So…is that actually a rule—or just airline weirdness?

I got food poisoning on an all-inclusive vacation. Can I hold the resort responsible?

You book an all-inclusive vacation to relax, indulge, and maybe make questionable choices at the swim-up bar—not to spend quality time examining the tile pattern on the resort bathroom floor.
