Apps make travel planning look way easier than it actually is—until one leg of your trip changes and the domino effect kicks in. That’s what happened to me after a train cancellation in Italy completely threw off the rest of my itinerary. I’d booked the bundle through a third-party site and had no idea who to reach first. Digging into travelocity reviews during that mess helped highlight what to expect when things go sideways. Lots of stories about wait times, refund battles, and the importance of screenshots—honestly, those insights saved me from losing even more time and money.
