Woman standing in front of closed gate at airport

I arrived at the airport on time, but the airline closed boarding early. Are they allowed to do that?

Few travel moments are more frustrating than watching your plane sit at the gate while airline staff refuse to let you board. You arrived before the departure time on your ticket, your boarding pass is in hand, and the aircraft is still right there. Yet somehow, your journey is over before it even begins.

Hotel Bill

My hotel offered a free upgrade. We happily took it, but then they charged us for it at checkout? Is that a common trick?

Cruise Ship Port

My cruise line changed departure ports two weeks before sailing and now I need an extra flight. Can they really do that without compensating me?

You have your bags half packed, your hotel booked, and your airport transfer sorted. Then, about two weeks before sailing, the cruise line says your ship is no longer leaving from the port on your ticket. If that change means an extra flight, a longer drive, or a new hotel night, the obvious question is whether the company can really do that.
