Getting to Know New York City Before Your First Visit to the Big Apple!

Moving Around in New York City

The best way of getting around in the city is by using the New York Subway system. It is the most convenient, cheapest and fastest way to cover all the sights in the city. With just $2 a ride, you will have a lot of money left in your pocket to spend on other attractions in the city. An even better option would be to go for the monthly subway pass or a weekly pass depending on the length of your stay. Strongly networked throughout the city, the New York Subway System is your most reliable mode of transportation during your visit to the Big Apple.

Southwest Apologizes to Mom Kicked Off Flight

Posted on

A spokesman for Southwest Airlines says the carrier has apologized to a mother who was kicked off a plane along with her unruly 2-year-old earlier this week.

Spokesman Chris Mainz said the airline called Pamela Root on Friday to apologize. He says Root also will receive a refund and a $300 travel voucher.

The crew bounced Root and her son Adam off the San Jose-bound flight because passengers could not hear preflight safety announcements.

Root says she was confident Adam’s screams of "Go! Plane! Go!" and "I want Daddy!" would subside after the plane took off Monday in Amarillo, Texas.

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

Posted on

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,

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.

Airlines Raising Fares Again

Posted on

The last of the major network airlines matched a $10 increase in the price of many round-trip tickets, making it likely that the fare boost will stick.

By Friday, United and US Airways had matched the increase that was already in place at Delta, Continental and American, said Rick Seaney, CEO of FareCompare.com, a travel Web site that tracks ticket prices.

Seaney said it was the fifth increase in U.S. ticket prices this year. Airlines sometimes roll back fare increases after a day or two, but Seaney said that was unlikely to happen this time because the major players matched the hike so quickly.

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).
