Hi folks. It’s been a busy and quite difficult few weeks but managed to get some time out earlier this week to see Tom Jones in Scarborough. He’s still got it! #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel hello. I'm in Glasgow, UK. Pics taken Friday (Friday?). And not quite in Glasgow; I *think* I'd crossed the border into East Renfrewshire by then,

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel A1: probably travelling with someone else.

A1 #PTTravel Flying with Ryanair. I'd want to go there really badly, with no other practical means of getting there.

A1 With short breaks we kind of have a maximum (low) budget for flights which will restrict destinations or at least the time we travel to certain destinations. Some of our favourite trips may have actually been compromise bookings. #PTTravel

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot Does it always feel like a big compromise or does it depend on the person? #PTTravel

A1 #PTTravel Air travel. Going to Vietnam, I was supposed to fly Portland/Seattle/Seoul/HCMC. They held the plane in PDX so long, I missed the connection in Seattle & had to be rerouted. When they sent out the “how did we do” email, I told them what I thought.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie that's a great question. I've done pods and Spaces about this, but in essence: yes, to the extent I tend to only travel with someone if I know them well and they know me well enough so that we both know what each other are like & we can get along. #pttravel

replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith Treat Ryanair like a flying bus journey and you will rarely be disappointed and often delighted. 😉 #pttravel

A1 Adjusting my schedule to suit someone else is the biggest compromise. That means as long as I'm not traveling on my own, there's a compromise. #pttravel
RTWBarefoot
replying to @RTWBarefoot @kate_frankie Weirdly, a lot of my trips in the last three years have been with someone, but they've all worked. But as I say, they've probably worked *because* I know them so well (and then me, more importantly) #pttravel

replying to @aok_NW @aok_NW #pttravel Once, they handed out the forms on the flight. You should have seen the look the flight attendant gave me when I said'Is there one S or two in 'abysmal'?'

Q2 Would you downgrade your accommodation to save & spend more time on a trip & why/why not?
RTWBarefoot
replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel A2: ... that's kind of what I do by default? I try to get the cheapest accommodation I can bear (even *I* have limits!) because, like, it's just a bed at the end of the day. I'm not going to be spending any time *in* the room barring rest and sleep? So why pay more?
aok_NW
A2 #PTTravel I usually don’t spend a lot on accommodations to begin with because I figure about all I’m going to do there is sleep, so why buy a fancy hotel room. So the answer is yes, I’ll do this.
RTWBarefoot
replying to @RTWBarefoot @kate_frankie #pttravel For the nature of my travels there's no point in an expensive hotel. I'm not going on holiday to the hotel, I'm going to the place. I'm not going to be eating or drinking there most likely, I'm not going to be using the facilities anyway so why does it matter?
Txiki_Tales
A2 Unless money is no object, accommodation choice is usually some sort of compromise. Again, I’ll have a rough idea of what I want to spend and see how far I can go with that. Sometimes room is more important, sometimes it’s location. #PTTravel

replying to @travelexx @travelexx I get 'pavement rage' #pttravel. Less so on the hills, it must be said.

A1 My biggest compromise is the fact that I have to work! 😆 give me a lottery win and I'll show you no compromise travel haha.
Annual leave and fitting it in at the best time is sometimes a pain.
