At the end of the week, the Michael W Travels family will be heading off to Europe for a quick visit. Our destination is a country that we’ve long wanted to visit.

I came across some great news as an airline incidental fee credit posted which I didn’t think would. Don’t forget to use your credits if you have any credit cards offering them.

How has your week gone when it comes to miles, points and travel? Continue reading Plane Gets Close to Air Force One, $18 Coffee, 1,000 Points Shopping Offers, CNB Airline Credits Post, Travel Health Tips, Tragedy at WTC Oculus, 90 Year Old Fish Euthanized & More- The Rehash!

Spring Break Health Tips from Oscar Health & Michael W Travels

spring breakSpring Break is fast approaching. I’m super-excited for our trip, which will be Theo’s first visit to Asia. (It will also be Kim, Lucas and my first trip back to Asia in a couple of years.)

Even though Spring Break is less than a couple of months away, I’m psyched that we have another trip coming up (we leave at the end of next week) over President’s Week!

While we rarely purchase travel insurance, there are a variety of steps we take to stay healthy during our travels. Continue reading Spring Break Health Tips from Oscar Health & Michael W Travels

It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood and one local man recently started a petition through Change.org, to change the name of Pittsburgh Airport.

For those of you not so familiar with the line “It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood”, it’s from the children’s TV show Mister Rogers Neighborhood.

The show was created by Fred Rogers. He starred in it for over 30 years. When I think of the show, the famous red sweater (shown above) comes to mind. Continue reading Petition Created to Rename Pittsburgh Airport After Mister Rogers

The Michael W Travels family stopped by the New York Times Travel Show over the weekend for a few hours. We had fun but there wasn’t anything overly exciting going on when we arrived. I haven’t gone to the industry day in a couple of years and would like to try to check it out next year.

Our next trip is fast approaching and after much debate, we finally finished trip planning by picking a hotel.

Some Updates to the New Uber App

Uber app

When in need of a ride, Uber has become the go-to choice for many people.

At first I had a hard time seeing the value of the Uber App. This could partially be due to having a negative experience. After testing it out some more, I finally saw the value.

I recently updated the Uber App on my iPhone and soon after, I received an interesting e-mail letting me know how to get the most out of the new app. Continue reading Some Updates to the New Uber App
