We plan to pack snacks for our kids that we know they will eat, but my sister says the resort won’t allow outside food. Is this true, even for kids?

Your resort says your kids can't eat snacks brought from home. Can it ban outside food, and what happens when allergies or medical needs are involved?

My dad refuses to buy travel insurance for the cheap family trip he booked and paid for during hurricane season. Would going with him be foolish?

A cut-rate family vacation in hurricane season can look irresistible when the price drops low enough. That is exactly why so many travelers are tempted to say yes when one person in the family insists the savings are too good to pass up. But if your father booked the trip during peak storm risk and refuses to buy travel insurance, everyone else is not foolish for hesitating.

I took a train to the airport, not the planned connecting flight, so the airline cancelled my whole trip. If I'm there on time, why is that a problem?

A traveler books a multi-leg airline ticket and expects each segment to stay intact as long as they show up for the later flight. Then one change throws everything off. They skip an earlier flight segment and use a train instead, only to learn the airline has canceled the remaining leg of the ticket.

That Surprise Fee at Check-In

My hotel says we can't have visitors in our room unless they're registered and pay an extra guest fee. Is that common?

You arrive at your hotel, drop your bags, and then hear a rule you were not expecting. No visitors in the room unless they are registered, and maybe there is an extra guest fee too. If that feels intrusive or unusual, the short answer is that it is actually a common policy in many hotels, though the details vary a lot by property, brand, and country.
