Mar 29, Dealing with travel "disasters"

Thu, 29 Mar 2012 16:34:57 GMT

Everyone has experienced a travel "disaster" at least once. I'm not talking about a true disaster, like a plane crash or earthquake. But when you're on vacation and your flight is cancelled, you're ripped off by a cab driver, or your hotel is overbooked, it can ruin your trip. How do you deal with it? Read about this woman's experience with a canceled flight from Cuba, where the airport didn't have cell or internet service....

But you also have free time to explore the cities you visit, and a concierge to help you find the best the city has to offer - like chocolates in Berlin! This video will entice you to book a trip soon!

Feb 28, 5 Things You Should Never Wear on a Plane

Tue, 28 Feb 2012 18:03:49 GMT

Let's face it - flying isn't fun any more. Why make it worse with uncomfortable clothing? I'm always amazed when I see business women in a suit and heels on a 16-hour flight halfway around the world. Granted, you don't want to wear sweats, but there are lots of nice knits and flats that are much more comfortable, and perfectly acceptable - even if your business associates are picking you up at the airport. And on vacation, you certainly want to be comfortable, but not sloppy! The Independent Traveler has some good tips for casual comfort when you're traveling...

Feb 7, What's Your Favorite Food Find?

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 18:33:14 GMT

How adventurous are you with food when you travel? I try to be somewhat adventurous - I certainly go out of my way to try local delicacies, even if they are really unusual - sometimes they turn out to be quite tasty! The photo above, however, was anything but adventurous. In fact, it was just the opposite - the thing I loved about it was how much it reminded me of what my mother used to make. Can you figure out what it is? It's a box of sticky buns from the Flour Bakery in Boston. We went to the bakery at 9am on a Saturday, and they were sold out! We had to reserve a box of buns for Sunday morning - but they were soooooo worth it! Just like Mom used to make!

Jan 30, Why Have Travel Prices Suddenly Jumped? Actually, they haven't!

Mon, 30 Jan 2012 18:18:56 GMT

If you've been shopping for airfare or a travel package, you may have noticed that prices have suddenly jumped, sometimes by quite a bit. Why has this happened? Well, the US government has required airlines to include taxes and fuel surcharges in their airfares, instead of listing them separately. Don't you hate when you find a cheap fare, but by the time you book it, the additional taxes and fees have doubled the cost? That's not supposed to happen anymore; the price you see will be the price you pay. Foreign Independent Tours has explained this rather well, so I've included their statement here.....

Jan 26, Southwest Airlines Shrinks It's Seats

Thu, 26 Jan 2012 19:49:29 GMT

Southwest Airlines, one of the few that had been offering slightly more leg room in economy seating, has redesigned its planes to add up to 6 additional seats in each. The seat pitch will be reduced from the current 32 inches to 31 inches - which may not seem like much, but seats are cramped enough already! In their defense, 31 inches is the industry standard, so they won't be any worse than any other airline. They just won't be better anymore. And while their seats may be shrinking, mine certainly isn't! What do you think about this?
