    I’m looking to visit Spain in the summer to see a friend. We also want to visit other countries. I’m wondering if it would be better cost wise to do a round trip ticket to an airport in Spain or a multi-stop ticket- ex. Fly into Spain and fly out of France. Do you have a suggestion for this?

      Hi Raemi! It honestly depends on the airline — sometimes this can work REALLY well and other times flying out of the same place is cheapest. I would suggest opening your browser in the “Incognito/Private” mode (to ditch the cookies momentarily!) and try several different options. Definitely look into airlines like RyanAir and Easyjet for budget ones – note that they do upcharge for baggage, but if you book ahead of time you can usually find some fantastic deals (ex. Paris to Rome for around 30 Euros – RT!). Also weigh in that if you were to fly out of Spain you’ll have to get back to Spain somehow…whether than means through a flight, driving, or train, to keep that cost in mind even though the initial fare might seem slightly cheaper. I hope that helps + happy travels!

Here’s how we spent a weekend in Philadelphia #MarriottHotelsPartner 
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••⁠
We were lucky enough to stay at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, located right in the heart of the city! From there, we made sure to see the best the city had to offer families:

🥞 Breakfast at The Pantry (inside the Marriott!)
🖐️ Please Touch Museum
🔔 The Liberty Bell + Independence Hall
🍲 Lunch at Reading Terminal Market
💦 Splash time at Sister Cities Park
🧬 Visit the Franklin Institute
🏮 Chinese Lantern Festival in Franklin Square (annual summer event)

There’s so much for families to do in Philadelphia and being a Marriott Bonvoy member makes it so much more accessible. 

From the location to having toddler amenities on-hand and staff who actually understand what traveling with a toddler is like — it’s those small comforts that make a huge difference on family trips.

Thank you for the stay @MarriottHotels!

I wanted to make history come alive for Ollie and what better place than in Philadelphia, USA? #MarriottHotelsPartner

Our stay at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown created the perfect opportunity to really explore the heart of this historical city. From the Liberty Bell to Franklin Square, we really dove into the heart and culture of Philadelphia.

After a day of exploring, we were treated with some of Philadelphia’s finest delicacies at Marriott’s Thirteen Restaurant.

We stayed cool on our trip by bowling a few games at Liberty Lanes, the hotel’s on-site, retro bowling alley. Did I mention there was even an arcade??

And after a long day, we were soothed by the many comforts and amenities Marriott has to offer.

Traveling with little ones isn’t always easy, but being a Marriott Bonvoy member truly
makes it so much smoother.

From comfy cribs already in the room to friendly staff who actually get what traveling with a toddler is like, Marriott Hotels takes so much stress off our trips. It’s the little things that make a big difference when you’re on the go with a little one!

Thank you for the stay @MarriottHotels!

Did you know that 1 in 4 flights are delayed or canceled? It’s enough to make you go mad… unless of course you have @airhelp!

AirHelp is a flight & claim tracker app that is a complete lifesaver on travel days helping me...

✔️ Track unlimited flights (no ads, no limits)
✔️ Get real-time updates for gates, terminals, and baggage claim details
✔️ Receive automatic alerts if I’m eligible for flight compensation
✔️ See my travel history log with a built-in travel map (my favorite part)

Honestly, I wish I had this app sooner! It would’ve been a game-changer on long-haul flights with my toddler. Whether you’re a frequent flyer or just planning your next adventure, this is one of the smartest tools you can have on your phone.

Download the @airhelp app today and fly with peace of mind.
