I hate to add another one of these posts to this sub, but I'll be visiting Seattle for the first time in July with my mother. We'll be there for about three days, and I decided to rent a car for the last day (dropping off right before I head down to Portland).

I've seen a lot of Seattle posts on Reddit about the best day trips, hikes, and attractions, but many of them seem to be a bit difficult for my mother. She's in her 60s and isn't a huge fan of hiking, but still wants to do light walking and be in nature. I'm putting together an itinerary—two days in the city proper, and one day visiting more natural attractions a bit further out of the city.

If you had to put together an itinerary accordingly, what would you do?

Hope everyone's doing well!

I'm planning to book a trip using both my annual travel credit and points. I live in an American hub, and for the trip I want to do, it's the only real option. Between these three tiers, which type of ticket should I buy in this case?

• Basic Economy
• Main Cabin
• Main Flexible

With the Flexible tier, they say they provide a full refund to the original payment method, but if I'm booking everything using the travel credit and points, how would the refund work in this situation?

I'll be attending grad school at UNC in the fall. I want to get a better understanding from locals of what current rents are like in both Durham and Chapel Hill, and how much I should expect to pay in terms of the overall COL.

FWIW—I currently live in Charlotte with family and have spent limited time in the Triangle. I'll have my car and am willing to drive about 20-30 minutes away from campus (at most) if it saves some money. I don't have a strict budget yet, since I'm still getting familiar with the Triangle; I just want to know what to expect on average.

Lastly, I'd like to move in by August 1. Ideally, I'd like to live in a cheap studio or one-bedroom apartment if possible, but I figure that's probably a stretch, so I'm fine with 1-2 roommates if the rent is that much cheaper. Any recommendations regarding apartment complexes/realtors to look into or avoid would be greatly appreciated!
