What is this for?
I would say：
Ｔｒａｖｅｌｉｎｇ(ＯＲ ｅｑｕｉｖａｌｅｎｔ ｐｈｒａｓｅ ｙｏｕ ａｒｅ ｓｕｐｐｏｓｅｄ ｔｏ ｕｓｅ．りょこう） が／は すきじゃないから、いきません
が／は 好きじゃないので、いきません
が／は すきではないから、いきません
が／は すきではないので、いきません
My guess as to whats wrong would be the です in the middle. Its okay to use じゃないです but i would only use at the end of a sentence.
But then again, I'm just as beginner as jericho and putrefaction if not worse.
I'll definitely have to read up on this! I'm still baffled at how you can use both ja nai and desu if ja nai is the short casual of the opposite of desu.Its okay to use じゃないです but i would only use at the end of a sentence.
Desu makes the statement less soft and more formal. Ja nai alone is friendly/casual, of course, as a basic contraction of de wa (compare to isn't/is not, etc.). Version janai = slightly more colloquial and common in conversation -- but not such a big worry in terms of sounding rough, impolite or awkward. So the combination of "janai" + desu doesn't end up incorrect at all due a mixing of the formal and informal terms.でしょう according to Genki I means "probably", でしょうか from Genki I means asking a question to get a person's opinion.

For what it's worth, though, I find that I hear both about equally ???In this context, I feel ので sounds more appropriate than から.

Unstable combinations that are to be avoided as unnatural and weird sounding in most situations would be something like "Ja (highly casual) arimasen (ultra formal)"....imho.
Oh really? I find my Japanese teachers still use ja arimasen. ja I'm told is seen as spoken language whereas de wa is classed as "written" or more formal language. I've even heard things like "ja arimasen desu kedo..." where they mix both masu + desu. But I dont think I've heard a teacher end anything with "Ja arimasen desu." I dont think you can mix two formal forms at the end of the sentence perhaps?
What's the background ? I know a style with some flourish like ~te itadakenai deshou ka should be taken as respectfully polite and it is okay in some situations, but you know it may be offending in others, right ? Hyper polite speech really can be sarcastic, condescending, and actually even rude, although I'm sure your teachers are totally understanding, if not used in the correct context.I was also told ~te itadakemasen deshou ka is super polite but i'm more comfortable with saying ~te itadakenai deshou ka.
Not somewhat, it will make you sound like a student complaining about unfair treatment or protesting against something the teacher hasn't done for you if used incorrectly.Oh yeah I know that using polite speech with friends is a big no no lolThis sort of keigo really is reserved for either company situations or talking with your teachers. A teacher was remarking that if his wife suddenly spoke to him in son keigo and kenjougo he would think that she is very mad with him about something.
Using ultra polite forms of speech places a certain amount of distance between the speaker and the person spoken to so I usually have to remember that casual form is more friendly and approachable but if used in the wrong situations can seem rude. Conversely keigo/kenjougo used in the wrong situations can make you seem distant and somewhat cold?

これらの話題に目をとおしていただけない（の）でしょ うか for example...
Couldn't you please get around to looking over those papers (I gave you?)??? という風に感じね。
敬語はとても奥が深いですね。
正確に言うと下記になります。あ～！本当？そんな使い方が分からなかった！先生がすごく丁寧を使わなくてもいいけど、ただその表現は店員がよく使うので分からなきゃって。
