tl;dr – Feel free to blur the line here. I’m not telling!

A while back, I had a reader reach out and ask about some ‘deep-level tips, and travel hacks’ that the general public might not know, but bloggers might. While I responded with some (hopefully) helpful info (a post for another day!), the interaction prompted me to think about a ‘darker’ topic that I don’t see discussed too much around here (or anywhere really):

What are some of the more unhinged travel tips and hacks that you’ve heard of?

These can be things that you have personally done, or perhaps just read about on the internet, or witnessed others do, etc.

In terms of ‘unhinged,’ feel free to use your imagination – it could mean playing a little fast and loose (hopefully not illegal!) with the rules, maybe something slightly unethical, but in a way that won’t truly harm anyone in the end.

It could just mean something nonobvious that you’ve figured out and now wonder why everyone else doesn’t do as well.

To be clear, I’m not advocating for being a dirtbag, simply wondering if there are any ‘innovators’ out there who are sitting on gold. Maybe you’ve got something that’ll make us go:

Maybe you’re someone who still uses cards that you’ve cancelled to access lounges. Again, I’m not suggesting you do that this, but perhaps you were feeling risky once and realized that in today’s fast-paced world, maybe not all the ‘i’s’ are being dotted, and not all ‘t’s’ are being crossed.

The floor is yours – whatcha got?
