I loved reading all the various tips and tricks in Travel Hacks. Doing so helped me to prepare for my first European vacation. It was great to feel equipped. The layout of Travel Hacks made reading nonfiction easily digestible and fun!

This book is filled with great tips and hacks for traveling. I ended up taking notes so I could remember several things I could use for an upcoming family trip. There is helpful information about the best time to book a flight, what to pack and how to pack it, how to label and protect your luggage, how to make traveling easier and less stressful, and even lists a few apps to use while on a road trip. I would highly recommend this book to anyone preparing to go on a trip in the near future!

Thank you to NetGalley and Adams Media for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review!

I thought the was a cute title, with a fun layout. However, I would've liked to see more information provided for experienced and inexperienced travelers alike.

I travel a lot and I feel that I am pretty well versed in travel tips, but this book was a great addition to what I already knew. I learned some new things and really enjoyed the website info.

A surprisingly handy guide, Travel Hacks contains many tidbits you wouldn’t even know to look up.

I enjoyed the practical and well-researched approach to a broad range of travel tips from bookings and packing to on-the-go logistics. As someone who likes to prepared for every contingency when I travel, this was absolutely worth the read to feel a bit more knowledgeable for my next trip.

First let me thank Netgalley and Simon and Schuster for an opportunity to read Travel Hacks (2021) in exchange for an honest review. I am (was) a frequent traveler so I was eager to learn any new tips that I could. I appreciated that there was section devoted to "Staying Safe and Healthy" which included tips related to covid ( Which is the best seat on the plane?) and other health concerns ( visiting a hospital outside the U.S.) that could occur during your vacation away from home. Other chapters included information/hacks about planning and booking, packing smart, things to do before you leave, air travel, transportation once you've reached your destination, traveling with kids and pets, food and lodging, making the most of your trip, communication and technology and heading home.
There are 651 hacks. Each one is a few sentences long. Because they are numbered and short it is easy to find them when needed. As other reviewers have noted some of the suggestions are what I consider to be common sense, those not needed. On the other hand there were some that even more seasoned travelers than myself had not heard of. There are apps given for finding food, getting your own personalized tour, finding your way around, translating signs and menus and more.
I recommend getting your hands on this book and learning more ways to save money on your trip. I've waited a long time to travel again and I plan to make the most of my upcoming vacations.

Travel Hacks by Keith Bradford is a phenomenal book. I started reading this book and thought I would read it a while and probably not finish. But this book captivated me and I could not stop reading it when I started. Filled with specific ideas based on common sense and real experience, this book would be invaluable even to seasoned travelers. I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher with no obligations. These opinions are entirely my own.

Thank you NetGalley and Adams Media for a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. A book that not only gives a traveller lots of great tips to save time or money but how to pack and where to go. I really enjoyed reading it and can only recommend it to all who love to travel.

I've traveled quite a bit; this book had several hacks/tips that I wasn't aware.

Although tips were grouped by topic, many of the tips were rather short. I have Siri read most books to me via the text to voice feature, so this format really didn't work well for me. I think the book in print format would have be much better, especially if you like to travel.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author Keith Bradford and the publisher Adams Media for the opportunity to review Travel Hacks in exchange for an honest review.

Mixed bag - some of these tips were useful or new, but many were common knowledge and a few were downright ridiculous (don't go to Paris - go to this place in China that has replicas of Parisian buildings!).

Travel Hacks is the perfect gift to give a newly graduated/newly employed person who is going to travel. I've traveled for 30 years for business and even I found some new tips...plus many of those that I also offer travels. Very good reminders and a quick read!

Travel Hacks is a resource book full of pertinent information, surprise... travel hacks!! This book covers everything from booking trips to packing for trips. The table of contents include (truncated and reworded) information on: planning, packing, considerations before you leave, planes, road trips, traveling with the family, food and lodging, maximizing your vacation time, staying safe, communication, and returning from vacation. I found many useful tips in this book that will potentially save money and/or time. Possible improvements to this book would be adding some graphics, or breaking up the information some how to make it more eye appealing. However, overall a good resource for travelers!

I am uncertain about this one. As a travel planner and seasoned traveler, I knew a lot of these. And what I didn't know, I'd already figured out on my own. So it's kind of hard for me to say what the average traveler might get out of it.

It's a very quick & easy ready. Many people would need to review the book every time before they start booking travel. I found things that made me stop and take note - like contact cases for small amounts of beauty products. I don't wear glasses or contacts so it would never have occurred to me. Some things I felt required better or more detailed explanations then what was given.

I was completely unimpressed with the COVID related content - which will make it an even shorter read.

I received an ARC from Netgalley to prepare my honest review.

If I had purchased this book - I would have been really disappointed. Travel Hacks - while a great concept - was a let down.

Granted, I am a pretty seasoned traveler and know a lot about the ins and outs of airline travel. However, there were a lot of poor suggestions in this book. Some of the “hacks” have even been disproven. (Like looking for airline tickets on an Apple vs. a Windows computer for cheaper rates - while fares vary, they don’t vary by computer type.)

There were also a bunch of recommendations for different apps to use while traveling. I wanted to check out some of them because they sounded useful. However, most of them were not listed in the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.

The author also recommends checking out locations on FourSquare to find wifi passwords - I’m pretty certain FourSquare is no longer the social media platform it used to be.

I can’t say I would recommend this book. I did find it interesting to see what “hacks” the author decided to include, though. If you’re a new traveler and looking for travel tips, this is definitely NOT the book to read.

Thank you to NetGalley for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest opinions.

From a librarians point of view, this is an excellent reference book and could sit on your shelf and be consulted each time you travel.
I love the very simple and practical format of this book. It would also make a nice gift for somebody who is either new to traveling or travels often.

Collection of suggestions for how to make travel easier, cheaper and more fun. Solid, practical advice for the novice traveler. A bit less so for the seasoned adventurer, but even this high miles guy learned a few good tricks.

Having been a road warrioress as a heavy business traveler for years, I always find books like this intriguing. What do they know that I haven’t figured out or heard about yet? In this case, not much but I still learned a few tips. If you are a casual or new traveler, this is a great book that will give you so many tips that my colleagues and I have learned over the years that you’ll be almost on par with all the tips and tricks we know and use. DEFINTELY a must read for your next trip.

I felt like many of the “hacks” were really common sense. There were also numerous repeats of the same tip reworded differently

Over 600 hacks divided into booking your trip to while you are there. Some great tips for those who want to have a few tips up there sleeve.

If you travel aboard or just for a weekend getaway I would recommend reading this book. This book has some really good travel hacks or ideas that I have never heard of that I think most travelers would fine very helpful. This book is a book you would read before traveling to refresh your memory and to keep around to keep referring to. The information in this book will always be helpful also they have a lot of other book with helpful hacks. Looking forward to reading more of them
