Things to Watch Out When Planning Your Trip
It is very rare that you run into unexpected condition in your travel plan. Here are the problems that I run into:
1. Interruption of transport
People use Couchsurfing to get people together and travel. I use that website too and this is my second disappointments of using that website. I found a person on the website and had everything planned out for our trip, and will be using his car to travel. The night before my flight, he bailed out and now I am stranded in my first destination without transport.
Advice: Always have backup plan, I had looked through several alternatives for stable medium to transport and they cost a lot, eg flight and train. For last minutes plan change, you could always try your luck in craiglist for shared rides. In the end you might want to change your travel plan, to bring down the cost.
2. Extra baggage fee
If you book your flight in cheap, you might want to call every single airlines that you use to make sure all the terms and condition. I fly with Frontier, but all my flight is done in American Airlines. For your information, you will be charge an extra fee for carry on luggage (up to $100) if you book from 3rd party.
Advice: Always call your airlines to confirm your flight, you will never know what will be the terms unless you call.
3. Accommodation unavailable
This only goes to those who stay at friends' place. You should not expect people to keep their promise all the time, because they will revoke their words and you will have absolutely no place to stay.
Advice: Look up for backup place to stay and estimate the cost. Hostels are good place to look for, normally they are cheap and you can meet other people doing the same travel.
Although I have not start my journey, I had encountered all of these issues that I called "travel risk". So, if you want to travel, always think of a backup plan and you could avoid problems with extra budget.
