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, […]
Miami Airport Hotel – Not Fancy But Handy

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 […]
The Royal Service from British Airways
We just flew from San Diego, California to New Delhi via London, and I was really impressed with the in-flight service. In fact, the royal service from British Airways had me feeling like a queen.

Emirates Airfare Deal – Book by July 5
Saying that Emirates Airline is offering a great airfare deal is like saying Neiman Marcus is having a sale. Yes, the price of the designer gown is marked down, but….well you know what I mean. Having said that, we flew Emirates Airline from Los Angeles to Dubai and in my notes (travel writers are compulsive […]

Fairmont Vancouver Airport Hotel

Airport/Cruise Port Stay-Park-Shuttle Deals
I’ve already touted the advantages of hotels that are actually at airports when you have an early-morning flight, but I also want to suggest that if you have a car, the wisest solution may be to drive to a hotel near the airport, leave your car, and take their shuttle to the terminal. ParkSleepFly, Stay123, […]

United Airlines’ Suite Dreams
If you read my earlier post, you’ll notice that United Airlines didn’t win any of the OAG’s Best Airline awards. This fact reflects the opinion of many First- and Business-class travelers who consider this legacy airline more of a work horse than a thoroughbred. However, UAL appears to be trying to step up to the plate […]
