What are the most popular transportation modes when traveling Europe?

Asked 7 months ago

I'll be traveling to Europe in a couple of months and was thinking about what transportation options I'll have when I need to reach some places. I know flying is always an option, but what is the most common mode of transportation in Europe? I need something less expensive and more easily accessible. Any suggestions?

Flying is a good and quick option, but to make the most of your visit you should opt for public transport like trains or buses. That way you can still take in the scenery and culture of the places you visit and they're usually free or inexpensive if you buy season tickets.

Do any websites offer cashback rewards for dining out while traveling?

I dine out a lot while traveling because it's just more convenient, so I thought I might as well get something out of it. Has anyone heard of any websites with cashback rewards for eating out? Any recommendations are appreciated.

How does Booking.com work when you book for a large group?

I want to organize a big family trip that would include about 15 people altogether. We've been planning it for a while, and we already set the time and destination. We just haven't picked our travel agency yet. Somebody recommended Booking.com to me, which is why I'm interested in learning more about it. Can it handle larger groups of people, or should we opt for local agents instead? Also, are bookings for a group of people cheaper (as in bundle discounts)?

Do any travel insurance policies offer cashback for not filing a claim?

My travel insurance policy is pretty good, but I was thinking of switching it for one that offers cashback rewards for not claiming insurance. The thing is, I like the security of having travel insurance, but I haven't had any real need for using it so far. So, are there any policies that would let me get some money back for unclaimed travel insurance?

How do you change or cancel a reservation made through Expedia?

Last weekend, I made a reservation through Expedia, and my trip was supposed to start in 2 weeks. I was really looking forward to it, but unfortunately, something came up. Now, I don't think I can make the trip, so I need to either change or cancel this reservation. I would prefer to postpone it to the next month, but if that's not possible, I would need to cancel it altogether. I don't know how to do either, though - could somebody help me? But also, is this going to cost me anything?

Do online travel agencies have rewards programs?

Traveling has always been my passion, and I've dreamed of having a job that would allow me to have the lifestyle of a digital nomad. This year, that seems to be coming true, and I'm very excited to start exploring the world. In the past, I mainly used local traveling agencies, but a friend suggested I try online ones. I like the ability to compare different options and find more affordable deals, so I definitely like what I see online. What I can't see, though, is any loyalty program or something similar. Do online agencies have that? If they do, which ones have the best rewards system?

Does Expedia offer any discounts for booking a flight and hotel together?

Hello all. I am planning a vacation to Paris soon, and I found the perfect hotel on Expedia. The trip is in about a month in total, and I'm very excited about it. I haven't made any final decisions yet, as I'm hoping to find some good deals first. After all, saving on transport and/or accommodation would allow me to have more money for shopping in Paris, and I'm definitely looking to update my wardrobe. This is also why I was wondering: can I get a discount for booking a flight through Expedia as well? Is there something like a bundle deal?
