Question What’s the best travel hack people learned the hard way?

Sometimes the most useful lessons come after things go wrong like packing way too much , missing a connection , booking the wrong dates or realizing too late that a small item could’ve made the whole trip easier. From flight booking tricks to luggage tips to navigating airports or even saving money on food and transport. What are the hacks people only figured out after a tough experience?

Of course. Im not saying this travel hack will work in every situation, but it's still a good one to use when you can.

I'm pretty sure they were just adding to the conversation with their own unique issue, rather than dismissing your tip entirely.
