USA has the only airports in the world with no international transit lounges
I don't know exactly when it happened, but I became aware of this only after trying to fly from Central America to Asia in the past few years. Perhaps this rule has existed for a very long time but...
Travel Scams: The "friend" buying you drinks
This one is global and you hear about it in variations that exist all around the world. To me, this happened to me in Nicaragua and my mind has been a bit different ever since that day. The sad thi...
Japan is a new hotspot for vacation and I'm not sure exactly how
Japan is a truly wonderful place to visit. I have been there 3 times in the past but I have been kind of ignoring anything that is on the "other" side of the Pacific ocean in recent years due to th...
What happened to being able to search for a wide range of dates for flights?
It's been a while since i took part in using a website-based flight booking system and this is because I stopped seeing the benefits of using them. Travel agents still exist and most of them will d...
Stupid travel mistake on my part
I've traveled rather successfully for many years now. I like to think that I know a fair bit more about the travel process despite how ever-changing it is just based on the fact that I have been do...

Travel tips: leave the jeans in your bag
I've been traveling for a long time. I basically live in a perpetual state of travel these days and I am very happy that someone else gave me this idea and encouraged me to pursue a career of remot...
People blaming all flight prices on "the war"...
I am not a political person. The way that I look at global politics is that I am not going to allow it to affect my personal feelings and how I treat others. I also don't buy into every little thin...
Carry on > checked baggage... always
These days if you are trying to travel on the cheap it is an absolute necessity that you cut down on the amount of crap that you bring with you and let's be honest, most of the stuff that we bring ...
Window or aisle ?
These days when I travel unless it is a very long flight I don't even bother with booking a seat now that airlines are doing that silly game where they charge you more money if you want to choose a...
Is it really too much to ask for customers to board and exit planes in an organized fashion?
For a lot of people I think that it in fact is too much to ask because it seems like almost any time I go to get on a plane people are behaving as though it is a race of sorts and if they don't act...
Travel through USA was already tough, but now it is unbearable
The last time I was flying from Mexico to somewhere in Asia, I had no choice but to go through either Texas are Los Angeles and while Texas is definitely better than LAX, the airport I consider to ...
