Just a note that the Pack and Play for travel that Tiff recommended in a previous post, is about to be heavily discounted at 2pm Eastern Time on Amazon Lightening Deals. It should go fast, so if you are interested, I’d have the refresh button going a few seconds before …

US Airways’ has two and a half hubs within driving distance of each other.  The time difference it takes for a flight to connect into Philadelphia or Charlotte is negligible.  Most US Airways flyers I know default to the Charlotte airport.  It is easy to get around, has great food …

I check things to paranoid levels sometimes.  I read and re-read my confirmation numbers.  I check to make sure I have ticket numbers.  (Which is why I was so sure I didn’t miss my flight that time US Airways told me I did!) I check things so much that family …

In-flight cocktails are generally basic.  You have mixers and you have liquors, and you pair them one-to-one.  So you get your Jack and Ginger, or Cranberry and Vodka (hi, Jamison!), or Rum and Coke. But sometimes, when I’m feeling fancy and the flight attendant in a playful mood, I will …

I think it is something frequent fliers often joke about, but someone actually had a wedding at the airport, complete with a reception in Baggage Claim. From the Washington Post: A U.S. Navy sailor told his high school sweetheart he wanted to marry her the moment he laid eyes on …

Today, I called to upgrade my Hyatt All-Inclusive Stay into a real suite.  The Diamond Line representative told me there’s a lot of confusion about the All-Inclusives and to try calling back sometime in December.  My stay at one of the all-inclusives is sometime in December. I did not have time to …

Hyatt’s new All-Inclusives, the family-friendly Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos and Hyatt Zilara Cancun are both all-suite hotels.  The lowest-bookable level is a junior suite. When I used a suite-upgrade at the Hyatt French Quater New Orleans, I was upgraded into one of their junior suites.  So my assumption was that the All-Inclusives were not …

This is one of those tips that if you didn’t know it already, you will never forget it and you’ll wonder why you didn’t realize it already. US Airways upgrades all of its elites 48 hours out from flights.  (Chairmen are 7 days out, Silvers are two days out).  If …
