Anyone been to Turks and Caicos or St Maarten?

Went to St Maarten in Decenber during my trip to Anguilla.

Didnt like the atmosphere and honestly thought the shopping area was kinda tacky.
However the split nation thing is kinda cool and it’s a nice looking place I guess.

Don’t think Id go back but heard they have decent nightlife.

Where do you guys book your travel? Are most of these flight-hotel combos worth it?

I normally book everything separate.

I just went to expedia and did a flight and hotel combo search to London 6/10-6/13). At first glance, most shyt is from $1,300 - $1,500.

I book travel separate because I do Airbnb

As well some of these flights you may leave like a Tuesday and arrive we’d but if you book hotel and airfare together you are paying for a night your not there

I'm now targeting early October. That maybe a bad time to visit because the weather could be bad or raining...but it gives me time and the prices will be down after the summer.

Also, I'm a Raider fan and they play the Bears October 6th. lol@going to London just to pay to see an NFL game but I just may do it. They play in the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Firstly shyt is expensive as fukk. I’m only 19 so it’s taking a large amount of my money

Idk but group holidays(8 of us) can be long winded and it’s like getting laws passed through congress or sum


Really would like to go back to Barcelona but shyt Imma make the most of it.

Yea, off-season/non-peak season is when most people refrain from traveling to a particular location, either due to less favourable weather, lack of events or general holiday patterns. It’s also called bumper seasons in the airline industry.

Off-season has some general patterns but varies from location to location.

Examples:

Peak season to go to Dubai is in December because the weather is far more tolerable. Off season would be June-August. Weather gets to like 110 F.

Europe; In general, most of summer is peak season. The weather is the best and a lot of tourists flock in. Also, a lot of Europeans head out. Off peak is like Feb-early May.

Rio and NOLA’s peak season is usually around Carnival/Mardi Gras, and then it tables off from there.

I like traveling in off season when I want to avoid crowds, tourists and when I want to get a more “local” experience. You also get better prices for the most part.

Except for the weekend of religious holidays. My fam and I visited Dubai during Eid weekend and it was super crazy. By the 3rd day of our trip, it died down.

Folks from the Gulf region travel there for celebrations because they have a firework display and etc.

Travel plans: NYC in August. Maybe Bahrain/UAE/Qatar in January?

What credit cards do y'all use when traveling? My current cards have foreign transaction fees of 2.7% (American Express Blue Cash) and 3% (Citibank ThankYou Preferred).

What didn't you like about Paris?

To me was boring after I did the tourist stuff but I’m not a foodie or into romance
