Bargain Airline Tickets From Santa

Bargain Airline Tickets From Santa

Airline tickets: if you’re like me, shopping around for the best airfares is not your favorite thing to do. I mean, could it be more confusing? You have to research a zillion carriers, times of day, days of the week, seasons of the year, and – now – even specific seats within the plane. Seriously, […]

The beautiful Grand Hyatt Dallas Fort Worth Airport is conveniently located in Terminal D – just steps from a TSA security checkpoint – and offers great amenities.

Renting a Private Jet

Renting a Private Jet

Until recently, I thought that renting a private jet was 1) only something corporate execs did and 2) limited to domestic destinations. And then I met a private flight attendant who had just returned from an African safari. “We flew from New York to Kenya with a wonderful family,” she told me. “The plan was that […]

Inflight Comfort – Air Travel Tips

Inflight Comfort – Air Travel Tips

  Inflight comfort When I’m flying, I pick my seat with all the consideration I’d give to buying a new house, and I suggest you do the same. It will be your home while you’re on board and can make or break your level of inflight comfort. Look at the seating chart on the airline’s […]

Don’t Let the Bed Bugs Bite

Don’t Let the Bed Bugs Bite

I love traveling in the developing world, but I don’t love dealing with insects – and I especially don’t want to bring them home with me. However, as more and more travelers vacation in exotic places, that’s exactly what’s happening.  As suitcases move around the world, insects get a free ride. In the U. S., New York […]

Good News For Allergy Sufferers

Good News For Allergy Sufferers

Having just learned that some of my weird symptoms are due to allergies, I was glad to read that at least one hotel is providing special rooms for travelers with asthma, allergies, and other respiratory sensitivities.

Naomi Campbell’s Travel Secret

Naomi Campbell’s Travel Secret

What do you have in common with Madonna and Naomi Campbell? Dry skin. In fact, all travelers suffer dehydration when flying – it’s just that most of us aren’t going in front of a high-definition camera shortly after the plane lands. The good news is that you and I can take advantage of the same […]
