Travel Tips for Same Sex Couples

There's nothing like a romantic getaway to stir the fires of a relationship. And whether this is your first trip together or your 100th, travelling with your partner is always a treat. However, for many people in a same sex relationship, travelling as a couple can be a challenge - and depending on where you go - you could be raising more than just a few eyebrows.

If you're planning a trip with your partner, take the time to do your research and find out more about the best places to go. It'll ensure that you'll both have an enjoyable time. Here are some tips to consider before you book cheap flights for your next holiday:

Research your destinations - while Bali holidays are always popular for gay couples, other overseas destinations need to be researched more carefully. For example, homosexuality in Dubai is punishable by death and travellers that are suspected of being a couple can be deported or face jail time. Learn and respect the customs of your destinations and plan your trip accordingly.

Decide on the experience - many same sex couples feel more at ease within the gay community. There are many tours and operators that offer gay cruises and events, such as Gay Day at Disney. Meanwhile, a Sydney holiday can coincide with popular community events, such as Mardi Gras. Other couples however, may prefer to travel outside of the gay community and on their own terms. Consult with your partner so you can plan a holiday you will both enjoy.
