Planning a train trip through Europe? It’s honestly a bit of a puzzle. You’re staring at two main options: a rail pass, which gets you unlimited travel for a set number of days, or point-to-point tickets for each journey.

Picking between a red-eye and a daytime flight isn’t just about saving a few bucks—honestly, it’s about how you want to feel when you land. If squeezing every last drop out of your trip sounds appealing, the red-eye usually wins, but if you crave comfort and sticking to a normal sleep schedule, daytime flights are probably the safer move.

Planning a trip to the United States just got a bit pricier. Starting in late 2025, most travelers who need a non-immigrant visa will have to pay a new $250 “Visa Integrity Fee” on top of the regular application cost.
