Hi friends,
Being in the UK and wanting to travel in US, the worst part for me is the long flights from here to there.
What are the most unsatisfactory /depressing / disappointing thing about travelling for you? Would you like to share with me?

if traveling to a fantastic place then LEAVING that place would be the worst for me. in the contrary, to me, the anticipation of getting there would make the inbound flight a very pleasant one.

The currency exchange, especially when mine has the lower value.

Hotel bookings, hate going to countries where I have no family, and have to pay hotel fees, ARRRGHH, and these days they are always unrefundable.

to countries dat are used to black no doubt, flight phobia,hotel assling and trying to meet new people,but to countries with less blacks d most unsatisfactory thing for me is d way u are looked at being a black man,

Ours was filling out all those embarkment/disembarkment cards I had to fill out 7 cards each time

Definitely the long flights. I just can't stand it. Unfortunately, we do not have much choice when going from the US to Europe or Nigeria. Most of the US to Europe is at least 8 hours. The west coast (California, Seattle, etc) is about 10 hours. Then another 6 hours or so to Lagos. Very stressful indeed!

I enjoy every flight as long as I do not have more than my hand luggage

, if travelling from Nigeria, then the most unsatisfactory thing would be the check-in process at the mm2 airport, starting from ticket confirmation, stripping of bags & baggage for searching by all sorts of agencies, ndlea, custom, etc; the long queue to cross immigration, the long queue at security scanning, etc. Similarly, travelling back to Nigeria; the most unsatisfactory thing would be the long wait to collect baggage.

Well I always face this worst thing that while travelling is, the chore of getting through airport security only to have to endure long, cramped hours in cattle class.

for me leaving a vacation resort is the depressing part because you just know in less than a week you will be back to work also filling out those cutoms declaration cards are annoying when you dont have a pen lol

I cant believe no one has mentioned the most obvious unsatisfactory thing abt travelling
carrying a a green nigerian passport (assuming most people have them as its nairaland) the extensive scrutiny and questioning at every border control, the need to staple old passports on top of the new one so as to get some repsect from border control only nigerian passport holders have their old passports attached

In the present world, with the way airports are now, its too much of a hassle. I hate going to the airport and having to bend over backwards just to get on a plane. Its too much of an inconvenience. So I face unsatisfactory most of the time I travel.

being stuck in an airport because of layover or delays or standing on a long non moving airport line pisses me off all the time

speaking of non moving lines the worst so far was in antigua we got there like 12pm and at 4pm we were still at the airport trying to get to the immigration then the country was boring as sh@t

I am not a big fan of air travel because I hate it. Especially the crowds, the delays, and the security you have to go through. Really make me pissing off.
