Hitler? Nah, I’d leave that to you guys.
The very beginning? How about skipping the flight and all the hassle that comes with airports. Pro tip: Start the time loop when you wake up at the hotel instead.
If I had a time machine I'd rather go back to the beginning of my vacation and live in that loop

Depends on the trip. Part of the joy of arriving is the journey you just endured, so might be worth keeping that in just for the existential exhale you get when you arrive.

Besides, I don’t have to follow the same routine every time. Sometimes I could enjoy my flight, sometimes I could skip it! The only missing element is the time machine, of course.

Nooo. You wanna start before the plane ride so you can just not board if that’s what you want. Then ya grab a different flight with money you don’t need to go to a place you’ve never been.

Oh that’s good idea if you want to visit multiple places. If you’re doing a one month loop, that would be a good way to do it.
However, if you’re doing a one week loop instead of, you really don’t want to spend 1/7th of your time traveling.

I don’t know if killing Hitler would automatically lead to a better world. What if they had a leader who was not so dumb and attack the soviet union? It could be like in Stephen Kings 11/22/63 where he prevents the assassination of Kennedy but then the future is much worse.

WW2 was already bound to happen after the treaties of Versailles and Saint-Germain. Hitler also didn’t found the NSDAP or invent antisemitism. We of course don’t know what would have happened without him, but the near future after WW1 wouldn’t have been bright either.

Not necessarily, Germany could have become socialist.

I hate vacations. So I can’t agree.

That’s fine, you’ll be responsible for killing Hitler then.

Even if someone just went back and bought one of his paintings, it might convince him to stick with that instead of politics.

Well, except ol’ Hitty.

Does your memory get wiped at each loop or do you remember all previous loops?
Either way you should watch season 2 of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya to see how different people handle time loops.
