Sky is Not the Limit for Wi-Fi

Posted on

Gone are the days when “staying connected” was governed by wires.  The wireless syndrome has stormed in our lives in the form of Wi-Fi homes, hotels, trains, bookshops and coffee shops. It is not surprising that all the major airlines have been strongly inspired to render Wi-Fi services in air when even the Mom and Pop stores on land are aspiring to go Wi-Fi. The critical hypothesis by these airlines that their air passengers will regard airborne Wi-Fi as a perk has been questioned and the alacrity of the air travelers to spend an extra dime to enjoy a Wi-Fi journey has been challenged.

Pennies, Nickels and Dimes Add Up to a Vacation

Posted on

It’s not a Roth IRA or a 401(k), but the money still adds up.

I’m referring to my vacation kitty.

Every day, I empty the spare change from my pockets, sweep coins off the kitchen counter, and pinch every penny rolling around in the washing machine. I also keep a sharp eye for shiny coins during my walk from the parking lot into work .Every last penny, nickel, dime and quarter gets deposited in a glass jar or burlap sack that I keep in my closet.

The payoff comes during our family vacations. Before leaving town, I make the pilgrimage to the bank and trade those cold hard coins for bills. I can usually count on about $400 –

New Aerial Irritant: No Items in Seat Back

Posted on

IN mid-August, when I flew SkyWest Airlines from Denver to Tucson, a grouchy flight attendant announced before takeoff that “according to F.A.A. safety regulations” passengers could place nothing at all in the seat-back pockets. Not a newspaper, a book or a pair of reading glasses.

And, as I noted in a recent column, she enforced it like a drill sergeant throughout the flight. I prudently waited until the plane had landed before asking her where she got the idea that the Federal Aviation Administration had banned all personal items from seat-back pockets.

Strange Travel News: The Longest Line in the World… at Heathrow Airport, London

Posted on

Something to bring a bit of humor or strangeness to Labor Day weekend. Here is a story about dangerous hornets in France, a slide show about furniture made from old plane parts, and a video of one of the longest airport lines I have ever seen.

Longest line in the world … at Heathrow Airport, London

Sometimes it is hard put words to what visuals can show so clearly. This video is a couple of years old but still seams amazing. Glad I have never been faced with this. It would make tarmac delays seem tame.

The World’s Happiest Cities

Posted on

Ever since Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers appeared in the 1933 film Flying Down to Rio, the world has been fascinated with Rio de Janeiro. Popular perception of the city is infused with images of starry-eyed youngsters dancing into the dusk, backed by imposing mountains and dark sea.

That view has propelled Rio to the top of our list of the world’s happiest cities. Famous for its annual Carnaval festival (starting Feb. 13 next year), the second-largest metropolis in South America finished first among 50 cities in a recent survey conducted by Simon Anholt, an author and policy adviser.

Vacationing in Hurricane Season

Posted on

With hurricane insurance, travelers don’t have to wait until the weather ruins their vacation to get their money back.  AS the first storms of the Atlantic hurricane season began to swirl toward the Caribbean last month, I was booking a last-minute getaway to my favorite beach in Puerto Rico.

Asking for it, you say? Perhaps. But it wouldn’t be the first time I visited a hurricane-prone destination at the height of hurricane season, which typically peaks in August through October.
