Travel: 5 Ways to Beat the Competition to the Overhead Bin

There’s nothing so gauche as to stick your carry-on into an overhead bin far ahead of your seat, grab a book or magazine from it and walk 17 rows back to your seat. Because, whether you know it (or give a damn), one of the passengers sitting under your bag may not have a place to put his. Then, when the plane settles in at the gate, he’ll try to shove his way to the back of the plane (where he was forced to stow his stuff) while everyone else is moving the other way. It’s a recipe for disaster.

And, it’s getting worse.

Airlines have had to cope with shrinking budgets,

Surviving the Talkative Airplane Seatmate

Posted on

 

All I wanted to do was to fall asleep in my tiny seat on the last leg of a grueling day of air travel, when I was cornered by the Talkative Airplane Seatmate — a species oblivious to yawns and one-word answers.

My chatty neighbor was a forklift accident expert — a job he described in great detail as my eyelids grew heavier and heavier.

I mentioned that I was barely functioning after an 11-hour flight from China to California, followed by a six-hour layover at San Francisco International Airport.

Take a Walk Down Memory Lane with Ten Vintage Airline Commercials

Posted on

Taking a page out of the "they don’t make them like this any longer" book, I’ve compiled a list of 10 fantastic vintage airlines commercials.

Take a walk down memory lane with me, and see how flying looked back in the 70’s, or listen to people tell you how awesome their (now bankrupt) airline is.

This article originally appeared on Gadling last year, but as part of our closer look at vintage America, the video clips have been updated and refreshed.

Travel Tips for Non-Frequent Flyers

Posted on

If you’re traveling to one of the upcoming fall conferences, here’s a few of my favorite travel tips – as inspired by Kevin Kline’s recent travel tips post.  (If some of these familiar, it’s because I originally ran parts of it last fall before the conference season.)

Use SeatGuru.com or SeatExpert.com to get the best seat.

I’m not talking about first class versus coach – even in coach, not all seats are created equal.  Every plane has some surprise seats that have more room or awkward armrest setups.

Disney’s Cultured Cruises for Kids in Europe

Posted on

For families with children, travel to Europe can be daunting. Packing and unpacking and deciding where to go and eat is more difficult with kids in tow. However, Disney Cruise Line is setting out to make it easy for families to visit Europe.

In April, the Disney Magic will return to Europe, where it first sailed in 2007, only this time with a few new itineraries. The Magic will offer 10,11, and-12-day cruises to Scandinavia, Germany and Russia, in addition to a lineup of Mediterranean itineraries that include calls at three new ports. And in each port Disney will add its magic touch to enhance the touring experience.

Upgrading Using Miles: A Wild Fare Chase?

Posted on

Using your frequent flier miles to upgrade can be really confusing, impossible or not worthwhile.

Confusing because the airlines have different rules, which seem to change at a whim; impossible because often there are no seats available for upgrading on popular routes, even if you plan months ahead; and not worthwhile because airlines often require that you buy one of their more expensive fares to be eligible and, to add to the insult, now levy expensive co-pays of up to $1,000 round-trip, plus miles, to sit up front (that’s in addition to the other frequent flyer fees they charge).
