Thinking about going somewhere with my family this summer, perhaps to Alaska, Hawaii (Kauai), or somewhere Canada.

I would like to experience nice outdoor stuff and do fun activities while I'm there. Any ideas?

I'm able to book up to 4 layovers of ~20-24 hours each in South America and I'm looking for cities that have large regional airports, decent city-to-airport transit infrastructure, and have stuff to do in the evenings and late mornings. Safety is relative but bonus points for places where tourists aren't casually mugged on a routine basis.

Anyone have any suggestions? I'd love to hear them.

I'm curious to learn about places around the globe that have a significant amount of underutilized tourism infrastructure. In many cases, I suspect that governments are propping up unsustainable tourism operators or investing in tourism with a "build it and they will come" mentality.

Here are a few examples that I'm aware of:

• Qatar - The country has an oversupply of hotels relative to the number of visitors, and its tourism economy heavily relies on layover tours due to the strength of Qatar Airways' network.

• Saudi Arabia - In an effort to diversify its economy away from oil, the country is pushing a massive tourism development agenda, despite having many factors that make it less appealing to visitors. Religious tourism seems to be a primary focus.

• North Korea - For obvious reasons... For example, only a few floors of the Ryugyong Hotel are ever occupied.

• Northern Japan (Aomori, Akita, Sendai) - These places are heavily fueled by domestic tourism, and are basically deserted for half of the year (despite attractions and so on still functioning).

• EDIT: Maybe the Caribbean islands outside of Cruise ship season?

To clarify, I'm not looking for hidden gems or places that are simply underrated travel destinations. Instead, I'm interested in learning about locations where there is a clear mismatch between the available tourism infrastructure and the actual number of visitors.

I want to find places where I might end up being the only visitor to a museum or one of few tourists on an airport bus. The fact that these museums and airport limo buses even exist is where the question stems from.

At airports, I've always waited in line to get a printed boarding pass. Time for a change I guess.

Apparently I can check online and print my boarding pass as a pdf at home or even download the airline's app and get a qr code to print the boarding pass at a kiosk inside the airport. Do I need an active internet connection at the airport to use the kiosk? I wont have internet there.

My airline explains they can send a pdf copy of the boarding pass to my email address. Is it really not a problem to print my boarding pass on regular office paper and not on cardboard airlines use?

If I download the airline's app to get the qr code to print the boarding card at the kiosk, will the airline spam me with ads I don't want?

Can I both print the boarding pass at home AND get the qr code to print the boarding pass at the kiosk?

Apparently there is something called 'receive boarding pass by sms'. How does this work?

We know that airlines overbook their seats, then count on no-shows and rebookings to make the system work. This helps ensure that each flight will be as full as possible, but it also leads to situations where passengers must be paid to take a different flight. What if the airlines are doing the same thing with overhead bins and “allowing” more carry-on luggage than a plane can even hold? What if they’re overbooking those compartments in the hopes or expectation that some passengers won’t bother with a Rollaboard and will simply check their bags instead?

If that’s the case, then the aisle pandemonium can’t be chalked up to passengers’ misbehavior or to honest confusion at the gate. No, it would mean that all this hassle is a natural outcome of the airlines’ cabin-stowage arbitrage. It would indicate inconvenience by design.

I travel somewhat frequently to Germany and have noticed that flights booked from there to the US (round trip) are significantly cheaper than the other way around. They are often half the price I pay by booking the round trip starting in the US.

I've tried to think of a way to use this to get cheaper tickets but can't seem to figure out what the best way is.

My first thought was that I book a one-way flight to Germany from the US and then book a round trip flight starting in Germany with a much later return flight. The problem with this is that I would have to know when I wanted to visit Germany next and I would have to keep booking flights like that. Since airlines don't let you book more than one year in advance, it would force me to visit much more frequently than I am able to at this time.

The other option is similar to option 1 but instead of taking the return flight, I would book the flight as a flex ticket and simply cancel the second leg of my trip once in the US. There is nothing stopping me from doing that is there? As long as I don't do it too frequently I assume.

If that worked then I could fly (one-way) to Germany using miles, book the round trip flight for the return and cancel the flight back to Germany.

Sounds complicated all typed up but seems simple in my head.

Any reason this would be a bad idea or won't work?

I'm traveling on December 2, and I will arrive in Lisbon December 3 for 6 hours, from 6 a.m. to 12 p.m., and then catch my other flight. Do you think I would be able to get breakfast early this morning, and then catch my flight? if the time allows it?
