We often take flight for granted. The annoyances and aggravation of air travel frequently outweigh the amazement of it all. Maybe that’s because we are typically flying at 35,000 feet instead of 3,500 feet.
The Route 66 of Air Travel
Now That’s What I Call a Stowaway
It seems on a British Airways flight a few months back a passenger was so enjoying traveling with her 1-yr-old child that she decided right then and there to double the fun and give birth to a second offspring. This unusual situation has led to some very interesting questions and discussion.
United Suffers from Premature Abrogation
Most have heard the news about United’s announced changes to the MileagePlus program. But did you hear about United’s shareholder meeting? A meeting that lasted only 15 minutes total.
We’re All Going To Die! Probably While Traveling
In this 24-hour-news-cycle world there are no shortage of theoretical events of which you should be terrified at the very prospect. So, it’s surprising that we haven’t heard more about the EXTREME LIKELIHOOD OF CATCHING THE LAST DISEASE YOU WILL EVER CATCH ON YOUR NEXT FLIGHT!
ITA Matrix: Reality or Illusion?
A lot of very frequent flyers rely on ITA Matrix to research air fares and plan out less obvious routes that can save hundreds of dollars. Ask an airline representative about a fare you discovered on ITA though and the rep might deny the existence of the fare, and ITA, entirely.
The Glaciers with the Sapphire Eyes
This weekend I would like to draw your attention to another trip report featuring photography that is simply awe inspiring. The subject of the report is Alaska and the author of the report, Quasiconvexity, focuses his lens toward some of the most stunning scenery you will see anywhere.
Save the Fish and Frap for Another Day
Probably the most popular and famous of Seattle’s tourist attractions, the Pike Public Market is something you are likely going to plan a visit to if you are going to be in the Emerald City. But what should you see if time is limited?
Lost and Very Eventually Found
Leave a jacket on an airplane and the airline finds and returns it within a day or two and you probably think, “Oh good, they found it.” Get it returned over a year later and you think, “Amazing!”.
Location, Location, Switzerland
What’s the best city to visit in Switzerland? How about Luzerne, Interlaken, Chur, Zermatt, Vevey and Montreaux. What, you wanted just one. We’ll be lucky if there are just six listed by the time this thread settles down.
Check Your Gratitude at the Gate
Despite some testiness, grandparents get to spend time with their granddaughter. Travelers generously and graciously share travel advice. And no one is too badly hurt. All in all, another fine day on the interwebs.
