Interrail tickets can once again be bought for a reduced price. You do not need to know yet when you will travel: You have 11 months of time to start using the ticket you have bought now. The ticket with reduced price is not cancellable and it cannot be changed for another Interrail ticket product. (Except for the first 7 days after originally buying the ticket)
Polish state rail operator PKP Intercity is launching a series of journeys along picturesque routes in restored 1980s trains to celebrate its anniversary and allow passengers to âdiscover new regions of the country at a leisurely paceâ.
The Federal government of Germany is planning to reduce the flight tax and an organization called Campact is collecting names to a Petition against that. They ground this by saying that the train tickets could be lowered using the income from the flight tax. I figured thatâs worth a signature, and maybe you people might think the same.
Hello solarpunk travelers! Iâm passing through Copenhagen next Tuesday-Thursday (September 30 to Oct 2) before taking a train to Hamburg. I want to avoid Airbnb & Booking.com for obvious reasons, but thought Iâd ask if any of you might have recommendations to stay, OR be possibly open to hosting a like-minded traveler..
Moneytrans was the only offline way to buy Flixbus tickets without getting hit with commissions. Now #Moneytrans is gone, at least in Brussels. Every Moneytrans shop in Brussels is closed. Anyone know what happened? I find no news on this and the moneytrans.eu website is access-restricted.
More and more people are using this form of travel to get around the continent, using high-speed routes and a network of night trains that continues to expand. We traveled from Madrid to Prague and witnessed how the future of European transportation is clean and fast
The problem I have is on long trips (via bicycle or on foot) my phoneâs battery hits 15% remaining and screen dims mid-trip, which is essentially blank in daylight when navigating. Iâm in airplane mode with wifi also disabled. So the only power consumers are the screen and the GPS receiver. Yet Iâm still forced to power down, swap batteries, lose the clock time (which GPS strangely fails to correct), and wait to reacquire a GPS signal. Then OSMand remembers the route parameters but forgets the route (a bug). And because the phoneâs time is 1am, I have to either update the time or force OSMand into daytime mode.
Just heard a quick blurb on BBC that another panel fell off a Boeing mid-flight which landed in Oregon. No harm done.. wasnât noticed until after they landed. United Airlines.
If you scroll down to Torleif Stumo thereâs a quite interesting story. I was amazed that an aircraft that started to taxi returned to the gate and reconnected to let a passenger exit who discovered he was on a 737 max -- and that the airline rebooked him at no extra cost. Then I realized after my speed-reading what I missed: this guy was the brother of a passenger who was killed in the Ethiopian Airlines flight. I wonder if it was Ethiopian Airlines that he was gave him the extra sympathetic treatment.

Solarpunk travel is intended for /sustainable/ travel, right? So where can we discuss travel with no sustainability relevance? I only consider proper decentralized non-Cloudflare instances. This is what found as free world venues for travel chatter:
* !solarpunktravel@slrpnk.net â sustainable travel focus
* !traveltips@feddit.uk â Europe focus
* !travel@eviltoast.org
* https://lemmy.globe.pub â whole instance devoted to travel (â but note there is an instance-wide no politics rule)
Human hibernation has made some strides recently. I think a year or so ago a Wired mag article said the only significant unsolved problem is shivering. They have a cocktail of drugs that makes hibernation possible apart from the fact that people shiver at low temps.
While itâs no surprise that the original concept of ecotourism has been obscured by less virtuous projects, they become more problematic when they block local communities from ancestral lands or even involve their forced relocation. A recent case on the eviction of 16 villages on Rempang Island, Indonesia to build a solar panel factory and âeco-cityâ illustrates this. While the need to increase renewable energy production is urgent, itâs harder to justify when it comes at the expense of local residentsâ lives and territorial sovereignty.
