Have you ever wondered why airports have carpet?
I can’t say that I have but one might think that non-carpeted floors would be easier to clean and maintain. I’d also guess that carpets in airports need to frequently be replaced due to wear and tear. Continue reading Ever Wonder Why Airports Have Carpet?
In one week we’ll be heading off on our last trip of 2017. All we have left to do is to figure out our rental car and boy are they pricey.
For those of you celebrating- Happy Hanukkah and for those of you celebrating Christmas, I hope that you got some great deals on your gifts and that you are pretty much finished with your shopping.

It’s probably safe to say that most of you don’t look forward to airplane food.
I usually find the food to be decent enough to eat but it’s definitely not better than most sub-par food found at any given restaurant. While the Michael W Travels family primarily flies in coach, we’ve also flown our share of flights in premium cabins. I’ve also found most of those meals to be average at best. Continue reading Find Out Which Airline Has The Worst Airplane Food
I’m currently in the middle of planning our upcoming winter trip but I’m also thinking further ahead to the summer.
I’m hoping we’ll get to visit a couple of new regions that I’ve wanted to explore for quite some time. I was close to booking a flight but I still need to do further research to see how bold we should get. (Time is always a factor which could ruin any great plan!) Continue reading New Google Maps Feature, Saving Money In Fiji, United Employee Anniversary Surprise, ThankYou Premier Card Retention, Uber Driver Assists In Drug Bust, Travel Contests & More- The Rehash!
Mapping programs have come a long way over the years. We used to go to sites like Mapquest to print out directions and then GPS’s like Garmin and TomTom came along.
Nowadays I’m not sure if many people use much besides their phones for directions.
While I primarily use Waze for directions, when taking public transportation, Google Maps is the way to go. Continue reading Helpful New Feature Coming To Google Maps
Kim and I each finished putting the minimum spend on our newest credit cards. Now I’m debating whether or not I should apply for one more card before 2017 comes to an end. (The biggest problem is finding the right card to apply for!)
We haven’t flown since October so we’re very excited for our next trip, which is just three weeks away. It will involve lots of food, especially barbecue! Continue reading Winning 10K Hotel Points, Free $5 Shake Shack GC, Airbnb’s New Payment Option, Win JetBlue Flights For A Year, Is NYC Subway 24/7 Service Ending, Famed Sorbillo Pizzeria in NYC- The Rehash!
While the NYC subways are far from perfect, it’s still pretty impressive to think how far you can travel for such a fair price.
Besides traveling all around the city, it might even be more impressive that you can do so 24 hours per day, 7 days a week. Continue reading Could NYC 24/7 Subway Service Come To An End?
Around two years back I figured that it would be fun to share some of my travel photos on Instagram.
Besides sharing photos on Instagram, the site is a great place to see other people’s awesome photos. One of my favorite accounts is @paperboyo. I think that you really NEED to see his photos.
In October I was happily surprised to receive 10,000 Club Carlson points for this photo. Continue reading What Is The Most Instagrammed City of 2017?
Airbnb has been a great alternate option to traditional hotel stays. The site opens the doors to places to stay in good locations, typically at cheaper prices than hotels.
One of the unique things about some Airbnb stays is that you’re staying with locals. During our first Airbnb stay in Singapore, Kim, Lucas and I spent a night in a beautiful home. We enjoyed chatting with the host, even having breakfast with them. Continue reading Airbnb Has A New Payment Option
I hope that everyone had a nice Thanksgiving weekend. Black Friday and Cyber Monday were on many people’s minds. Kim and I did some shopping but didn’t make any big purchases.
The Winter Break is fast approaching. We settled on a domestic trip since I couldn’t find any deals for an international destination which seemed worthwhile for our short break. All I need to do is decide on a hotel or two and we’re done planning the trip. Continue reading Win 40,000 AA Biz Points, New Brooklyn Pizzeria, 300,000 Worth of Airline Miles Stolen, Plane Window Comes Loose, 14 Month Old’s Global Entry Interview, & More- The Rehash!
