Since the first iPhone launched 15 years ago, consumer shopping habits have slowly but relentlessly shifted toward mobile devices. According to a survey of 3,250 U.S. consumers from Pymnts.com, a website dedicated to analyzing the role of payments in new tech, the majority of travel service purchases (51.4%) were made on a mobile device in February 2022. The trend is even starker among younger shoppers. About 48% of millennials ages 25-40 prefer using mobile phones for online shopping, compared with only 34% of all shoppers globally, according to a 2021 survey of 13,000 shoppers from Klarna, an online payment company. So, it seems that shopping for travel on an old-fashioned computer will eventually go the way of the horse and buggy. Indeed, some travel shopping services, such as th...

To avoid committing a cultural faux pas, travelers and new residents have been advised on how to tip for common services in India. The team behind online remittance service Remitly, who specializes in sending money to India, have provided guidelines for tipping in Indian restaurants, bars, hotels and salons, as well as tour guides and drivers. Every country has a different tipping culture. Whilst Americans habitually tip for a lot of products and services, for example, residents in some countries are only expected to pay the amount on the bill. In India, there is no one-size-fits-all requirement when it comes to tips and gratuity, which can make it difficult to know whether you’re doing the right thing. While tipping in India isn’t necessarily a cultural tradition, people ...

As International VPN day approaches, an expert shares why a VPN is a must for travelers According to a survey conducted by NordVPN, 50% of travelers use public Wi-Fi while on the road. However, only 20% of them use a VPN (virtual private network) to protect themselves while being connected to a public network. “Travelers connect to public Wi-Fi in airports, cafes, parks, and trains. Some even use public computers to print their visa information or flight tickets. A VPN in those cases is crucial if you want to make sure that your vacation will not be ruined by cybercriminals. Nobody wants to lose access to their device or their bank account during a trip to a foreign country,” says Daniel Markuson, a cybersecurity expert at NordVPN. As International VPN day (August 19th) is ...

With travel prices soaring, customers might be tempted to pick the cheapest base option they find. But the base price of airfare and hotels represents only a fraction of the total costs. A parade of add-on fees await any traveler trying to navigate the checkout process, ballooning the final price. Experts call it “drip pricing.” “It’s called ‘drip’ because surcharges and fees drip out throughout the shopping process,” says Vicki Morwitz, a professor of business and marketing at the Columbia Business School. Customers tend to overpay when prices are presented this way, according to a study conducted by Morwitz and her colleagues. “Customers are more likely to select an option that looks cheaper upfront. Even when they later realize it’s more expensive than they anticipated, th...

Travelers beware: hackers compromise airport and railway Wi-Fi According to recent research by NordVPN, 1 in 4 travelers have been hacked when using public Wi-Fi while traveling abroad. Most of those hacks happen while travelers are in transit at train stations, bus stations, or the airport. “It is typical to scroll through your phone while waiting for a flight or train. However, when on vacation, people tend to forget about their online security,” Daniel Markuson, a cybersecurity expert at NordVPN says. “Hackers take advantage of that and use the public Wi-Fi network weaknesses in airports and train stations to get their hands onto sensitive personal or corporate data.” The free Wi-Fi in hotels, airports, cafes, and restaurants is often not secure. The lack of encryption mea...
