Flight Airport Change - Fb

My airline moved my departure to another airport across town. Am I expected to pay the cost of getting there without compensation?

You book a flight from one airport, then the airline quietly shifts your departure to another one across town. Suddenly, the trip to the airport is longer, pricier, and much more stressful. The big question is simple: are you supposed to absorb that extra ground transport cost yourself?

My brother wants us to hide his girlfriend's child from the hotel to avoid an extra-person fee. Could that get us kicked out?

If your brother wants your group to hide his girlfriend’s child from the hotel to avoid an extra-person fee, that is not a harmless travel hack. In many hotels, it can violate the booking contract, trigger extra charges, and in some cases lead to eviction without a refund. The short answer is yes, it could get your group kicked out.

My airline wants me to check a fragile musical instrument even though I bought it a seat. Can they refuse a ticketed item?

It feels like the ultimate travel loophole. You buy your fragile cello or guitar its own seat, only to be told at the gate that the instrument still has to go in the cargo hold. The frustrating truth is that a ticketed extra seat does not automatically force an airline to carry the item in the cabin if it does not meet the carrier’s safety rules.

My hotel hosts loud weddings beside guest rooms until midnight. Should regular guests be warned before booking?

It sounds dreamy until it is your room shaking to bass at 11:47 p.m. Hotels that host weddings can be a brilliant choice for couples, but they can be a rough deal for regular guests who expected a quiet night. The big question is simple and practical: should hotels warn people before they book if a loud event will run beside guest rooms until midnight?

My resort's free shuttle stops running before the last flights arrive. Can they advertise airport transportation if it isn't available?

You book a resort because it says airport transportation is included, then your flight lands after the last shuttle has already left. That is not just annoying. It can turn a free perk into an expensive midnight taxi ride.
