Woman worried airport

The airline says my delayed luggage will arrive "eventually," but I’m on a 3-day trip. What am I supposed to do?

If your bag is delayed and you are only on a 3-day trip, “eventually” is not a very helpful answer. The good news is that in many cases you may be able to get paid back for basic essentials, at the very least.

Woman lost baggage airport

The airline lost my luggage and says it may take weeks to find. What am I supposed to do now?

Few travel moments ruin the mood faster than standing at baggage claim while the carousel stops and your suitcase never appears. If the airline is telling you it may take weeks to locate it, you need to switch from waiting passively to documenting everything. The good news is that U.S. and international rules give passengers important rights, and the sooner you act, the better your chances of getting reimbursed.

I was kicked off a cruise for violating their “code of conduct,” and now I’m stuck covering my own travel home. Is that legal?

AI-generated image of guests worried about an Airbnb repair charge.

My Airbnb host says I caused a plumbing issue, but the sink was already leaking when I arrived. Now they’re charging me for repairs. What can I do?

When you checked into your Airbnb, you noticed the sink was already acting up but didn't think it would turn into a big deal. Fast forward to checkout, and suddenly the host is blaming you for a plumbing issue and sending you a bill for repairs. How can they charge you for something that was already wrong? And do you actually have to pay? The good news is, Airbnb doesn’t just take the host’s word for it. You have a chance to fight this, and how you respond right now can make a big difference.
