A video of tourists going viral for the wrong reasons again...
In Venice, these tourists wouldn't sit down and insisted on taking a selfie standing up... and ended up capsizing the iconic gondola.
Good for them obviously, but the problem is other people fell into the water too. Friendly reminder to behave when you're traveling (just like when you're not traveling)!

SUNDAY at 1 PM on Instagram (@flytrippers): Live Q&A session
🙌 SUNDAY at 1 PM on Instagram (@flytrippers): Live Q&A session to talk about all travel topics!
(Except travel rewards: that’s a separate monthly video on that topic alone, Thursday at 9 PM!)
🤨 A passenger managed to OPEN the plane’s emergency exit while in flight!
🤨 A passenger managed to OPEN the plane’s emergency exit while in flight! The plane landed safely, and no one was seriously injured.
It’s well known that plane doors CANNOT be opened in the air.
But this happened just before landing at a very low altitude, and apparently *that* is possible.
It’s honestly the first time we ever hear about something like this (and hopefully the last haha) because usually it’s always failed attempts. The man was arrested and didn’t say why he did it.
And remember that the odds of dying on a flight are about 1 in 11 million… versus 1 in 5,000 in a car.
Stay rational!😉

Pakistan just became the 16th country with Tim Hortons locations
☕🍩 Pakistan just became the 16th country with Tim Hortons locations! And it was wildly popular: lineups for hours… and they apparently broke the record for highest opening day sales of any Tims anywhere.
↘️ As a reminder, you can see our map of the countries with Tim Hortons locations in case you want a taste of Canada when you’re traveling:

Getting to the airport and seeing your flight is just delayed by a few hours looks a lot better than this scene right?

😯 Losing a wheel on takeoff is not something that happens often. But this isn't a commercial aircraft, it's a Boeing Dreamlifter.
We wrote a post about that unique aircraft and its Airbus Beluga counterpart a while back:

😲✈️ Time-lapse video of all the flights in North America from 6AM to midnight. And it’s an old one from 2021, so imagine today (it was US Thanksgiving day, but still — revenge travel was not as intense last year)!
But it’s the only one we could find to give you a different perspective than the usual snapshots we sometimes share… those only show the planes in the air at one specific instant in time.
A lot of people are traveling! You should do more of it too!. Traveling is amazing.
Flytrippers will have plenty of deals and tips to help you travel more for less.

A passenger had a dog in her backpack... and then covered it with a blanket when boarding. But it's probably more for the dog not to get too excited than to hide it...
Have you ever flown with your pet? What was it like?
