replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie @tspadventure Who doesn't love a bargain - a country that can deliver that is a winner for us - we have just finished booking our accommodation for Iceland - no luxury stays for us there! Maybe luxury views though....#PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie @NomadKeith Lazy camping breakfast in the early morning sun is absolutely the best bit of camping #PTTravel

replying to @StromfieldAdvs @StromfieldAdvs @kate_frankie Haha I hear you! We were in Iceland last year and "splurged" on a private room with a shared bathroom 30 mins out of Reykjavik! #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2 #pttravel rooms offer the best upgrades for us, going from a tent to a cabin or a dorm room to a private room makes for a good night's rest and then we can truly enjoy our trip

replying to @tspadventure @tspadventure @StromfieldAdvs @kate_frankie I’ve given up on solid roofs in Iceland in summer, I take the one-man tent #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2 Good question! I guess it depends on the length of time. I'd LOVE an upgrade on a long-haul flight. First class for 15+ hours? Yes, please! #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #PTtravel A2 Might try an upgrade on a flight bc have never experienced that. Have been at a hotel suite and after all, it's a bed I need. Wait, what could an upgrade be for an activity? I'll take a free hot air balloon ride!

replying to @tspadventure @tspadventure @kate_frankie We have done that - decided to go somewhere and when gone back to book the flights they've gone up! We've learned to book immediately now ha ha ha #PTTravel

A2 Flight, I think. Not that it’s ever happened but I imagine emetophobia is less panic-inducing when you’re less crammed in #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2. All of the above is nice! But if I really had to choose, I’d pick the special activity as it’d probably be the most rewarding. #pttravel

replying to @StromfieldAdvs @StromfieldAdvs @kate_frankie I usually book right away too but this is a trip with my siblings, and my sister was slow on the response (plus in a different timezone). I should've booked anyway! #pttravel

replying to @tspadventure @tspadventure @kate_frankie We are lucky enough to have a bit more of a budget but we've had to go down to shared bathrooms! Our luxury was getting one hotel with a private bathroom! #PTTravel

replying to @polarbearjuliet @polarbearjuliet @tspadventure @kate_frankie Yes, this would have worked.......😂😂 #PTTravel

replying to @tspadventure @tspadventure @StromfieldAdvs @kate_frankie #pttravel We were on a cruise to Iceland earlier this year, and one of our fellow passengers said he was going to research if he could get his campervan over.

A2- I'm a hotel snob, so I'd definitely take a room upgrade. Plus that's where you a good portion of your trip even if it's just for sleeping #pttravel #travelingsession

replying to @polarbearjuliet A2 It would be nice to go on private jeep tours rather than coach-based ones for similar reasons. (As a solo traveller, I tend to be put in the front seat on small jeep tours!) #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2. I’ve never had an upgrade in my life, but then I’ve never asked for one. After a few nights spent sharing a dorm room with chronic snorers fhough, I wouldn’t refuse a single room. #PTTravel
StromfieldAdvs
replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2 Not on a flight, we always go economy for that - a room is lovely to have but it depends how we could upgrade on an activity - if its a tour with less people or an extra experience it would definitely be the activity! #PTTravel
NomadKeith
replying to @findinganeish @findinganeish @kate_frankie #pttravel Never had an upgrade; only times I've flown business class, someone else was paying for it. But, I do like the idea!

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A1: The best level of comfort possible, for the least amount of money! This is how I like to travel - leaving my cash for food and drink ;-) #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie Q2 #pttravel the room would be the most important for me in terms of making the trip feel more magical but then I have always dreamt of getting a flight upgrade haha

replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith @findinganeish @kate_frankie I flew BA once to Houston on a free conservation flight and they put me in club class as there was more likely to be a space there :) Lovely, but not lovely enough for the money.....#PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2: As a tall person - it has to be flight! I spend my life studying plane seat charts and airline reviews, so if I ever get upgraded it’s a supreme luxury! #PTTravel

A2 I would happily accept an upgrade for any but I do love extra stops on a day tour or upgraded experiences. That's always worth it for more memories

replying to @HHLifestyleTrav @HHLifestyleTrav @kate_frankie Yes - and that varies vastly from country to country! Georgia we had a 5 star hotel for £75 per night......ahhhhhhhhhh! #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A3 #pttravel having lunch at Canada's highest restaurant in Golden, BC was great value for money at about $40 CAD pp. The lunch was fantastic, drinks were included and the views were even better. It felt very luxurious.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2) It depends...for me it's about the experience. So,it might be the room/hotel or it might be the activity. I have sometimes upgraded to very expensive rooms for a night just for the experience. #PTTravel (My picture - Lake Palace, Udaipur...)
