What's Your Travel Personality? - KAYAK Travel Hacker Blog

When it comes to planning a group trip — where do you fit in? Are you taking charge? Are you throwing out wild ideas? Are you playing devil’s advocate? Take our quiz to find out your travel personality.

You’re given $5,000 to plan a group trip -- where are you and your friends going?

To an all-inclusive getaway that a certain pop star frequents. I’ll be flying first class.

Vegas. Definitely.

I could probably plan 10 trips with that amount of money.

Somewhere with a beach so we can all just hang out.

A city like Austin or Nashville where I know there will be lots to see and do and will please everyone going.

Wherever as long as it’s not somewhere boring.

To be honest, I’d probably forget and then have to book something last-minute.

You’re waiting in a long security line, what do you do?

Waiting? I don’t wait. I have TSA Precheck, Global Entry and Priority Status.

Finishing up my (Irish) coffee and making new friends.

Adjusting the duct tape that’s currently holding my backpack together.

Just waiting and listening to some tunes.

On my phone checking the flight schedule and looking for the perfect brunch restaurant for when we land.

Openly commiserating about how inefficient TSA lines are.

Considering that I’m already super late, praying that I don’t miss my flight.

You’ve got an hour to kill before your plane boards. What do you do?

I’m living it up in the massage chair in the VIP lounge, of course.

At the airport bar, ordering a round of drinks for the people I met in the security line.

Window shopping at the duty free stores while I fill up my water bottle from home.

Chilling by the windows or strolling around the terminal.

I researched which airport restaurant is the best in advance, so I’m grabbing a bite there.

An hour at the airport? That’s like torture.

Wouldn’t happen. I don’t think I’ve ever been that early to anything in my entire life.

What must you always bring on a long flight?

My face mist, bottled sparkling water, neck pillow and cashmere blanket.

Nips to spike the free bloody mary mix.

Snacks from home and a book. No way I’m paying for onboard extras!

Nothing, really. The plane has snacks and a movie so I should be good!

My daily planner, travel itinerary and a variety of pens so I can color-code any adjustments.

Ugh, plane seats are so uncomfortable and it’s always so cold! I’ll bring a blanket, pillow and noise-cancelling headphones.

Whatever was in my pockets when I raced out the door that morning.

You’ve arrived in your destination. What’s the first thing you do?

Find my personal driver and head right to the hotel spa. I need to relax after a flight.

Find my buddies and head to the closest beach bar.

Take public transportation into the city. It’s a cheap way to get a city tour!

Waiting for my friends to tell me where we’re going next.

I’ve booked our group a ride share, picked a restaurant close to the hotel and found a quick tour we can take before having to check in.

Hurry out of the airport. I hate crowds.

Asking if we can make a pitstop at the nearest drug store. Looks like I forgot to pack… basically everything.

What’s your favorite vacation destination for a solo trip?

Turks and Caicos.

Vegas. It’s a non-stop party.

A staycation! Explore the city you live in without having to pay for travel.

Orlando. Or Berlin. Anywhere, really.

Lisbon. An interesting city with lots of history and plenty to do.

Well, I know where I DON'T want to go.

Fort Lauderdale. Because you can book it at the last minute.

In a group chat, you’re the one who…

Replies only when pertinent to me.

Shares GIFs and funny memes.

Responds only when you have WiFi so it doesn't eat up your data.

Is there for the laughs.

Started the group chat.

Wishes everyone would stop texting during work hours!

Usually responds several hours later.

Your travel personality is...

THE HIGH ROLLER.

Just because you’re traveling doesn’t mean you’re giving up your luxe life. VIP Access, boutique hotels, boujee mimosa bars… you’re on it. No matter where you go, you know the best nightclubs, the hottest food trends and the poshest spas. But your friends know you’re willing to tag them into the airport lounge so it’s all good. And listen, the person planning your next group trip has to accommodate your high-rolling lifestyle -- so be sure to share our new group travel planning tool with them. They can thank you later.

THE LIFE OF THE PARTY.

If there’s a party going on, you’re at the center of it. You can talk to anyone, no matter the place or language barrier (that time you made best friends with a Panamanian boat captain, even though you don’t speak Spanish? Legendary). And while sometimes you may push the envelope a bit too far, your friends are never bored when they travel with you. Thank them for putting up with your wild ways -- we’ve designed a new group travel planning tool to share with your planner that can help get your next trip off the ground.

THE SUPER SAVER.

You never met a two-for-one deal that you didn’t like. While others are excited to plan fancy meals and expensive city excursions, you’re looking for the best street eats and DIY walking tours. And there’s nothing wrong with wanting to save a few pennies, just be sure you’re not ordering only salad and water at every meal. Plus, here’s a way to thank your planner that’s totally free -- share our new group travel planning tool with them to help get your next trip off the ground.

THE FLOW MASTER.

Dude, you’re up for anything, anywhere, anytime. Though your indecision might make some of your friends a bit batty, it’s your laid-back, free-flowing attitude that makes you such a joy to travel with. No matter what, you keep a calm, cool head and are always looking for a good time. Show your friends you appreciate them by sharing our new group travel planning tool .

THE MVP (MOST VALUABLE PLANNER).

Vacation on the horizon? You’ve got this. When it comes to planning, you like to take charge. Your friends can expect you to not only plot out the perfect itinerary, but also to coordinate all their travel plans. You know the ins and outs of planning the perfect getaway, including choosing places and things to do that’ll satisfy all your friends’ personalities. When it comes to going away together, your friends turn to you to make it happen. And we’ve created a new travel tool to make your job even easier.

THE CRITIC.

You’ve got opinions and aren’t afraid to voice them. Whether it’s the beach being too sandy, the trendy hotspot being too trendy or the bathroom of your hotel being too bathroom-y, you’ve got something to say. And while, for the most part, it can get you into some trouble, it’s your discerning taste that forces your friends to come up with some amazing ideas. And even if you may not say it often, show the friend stuck organizing your group trip some love. You can even help make their job easier with our new group travel planning tool .

THE LATE-COMER.

Seriously, though, where the $%&! are you. You’re the friend that texts “just left” when you wake up in the morning. And never in your life have you actually been “only 5 minutes away.” While you might make your friends panic every time you plan a trip together, you know that deep down it’s your lateness that keeps the adrenaline pumping. Will he make the flight? Will she sleep through the 4am tour bus pick-up? Likely. But they love you for it. Thank your friends for putting up with your lateness by sharing our new group travel planning tool that’ll help get your next trip off the ground.
