Yesterday morning, Kim and I had a very, very long day traveling to Puerto Vallarta for the family press trip that we are participating in.
What should’ve been a simple couple of flights ended up being one of our crappier travel days in a very long time.
So what happened? Continue reading Do Airlines Owe Compensation For Missed Connections?
A little over a week back I wrote about how tourists were being banned by North Korea from entering the Pyongyang Marathon due to Ebola fears.

So what’s the deal North Korea??? Continue reading North Korea Now Allowing Tourists To Enter Marathon

Here is an amazing feel-good story that Kim sent me last week.
The story was so interesting since it deals with travel, kids and great customer service. Those three things don’t always get grouped together but in this case, all I could say was wow… Continue reading Ritz Carlton Encourages Employees- Spend Up To $2000 To Solve Guest Issues
It’s been a while since I’ve come across a fun Buzzfeed quiz.
In the past some of the quizzes have told us What City You Should Actually Live In, What State You Belong In and What European Country You Belong In.
Buzzfeed’s newest quiz wants to know: Can We Guess Which U.S. Region You’re Actually From? Continue reading Can Buzzfeed Guess Which US Region You Are From?

To help us out, JetBlue created a couple of somewhat funny videos. Continue reading JetBlue Videos Teach Flight Etiquette
I came across an article from Frommer’s a few days back with some pretty crappy news.
According to what I read, at many airports in Europe taking money out is going to cost you a bit more due to some really bad exchange rates.
You must be wondering why… Continue reading Crappy Exchange Rates At ATMs In European Airports?
I’ve read and written about quite a few pricey Uber rides caused by Surge Pricing but this has to be the priciest ride that I’ve come acroos to date…

I wouldn’t think that this would matter much at all but Outside Magazine thinks differently.
Outside Magazine came up with an interesting article, A Frequent Flier’s Guide To Airport Eating. Continue reading Frequent Flier’s Guide To Airport Eating
With Christmas just a couple of days away and Hanukkah having only a couple of nights left, I’d bet that we’ve all received our fair share of holidays messages.
Last week I wrote about an e-mail from United Airlines which had a holiday message inside (along with a link to a YouTube video). While I thought it was very nice of the airline to reach out, I suggested that maybe they could also send some miles my way as a gift next year…
Well it sounds like another airline may have listened to my suggestion (or more likely planned this giveaway all along). Continue reading Virgin America Holiday Bonus: 500 FREE Elevate Points!
