I recently started following the hilarious @passengershaming IG feed (you should too for guaranteed wtf?! laughs), and I can’t help but giggle audibly when a new photo is posted. However, the other day, a photo of a man doing pushups in flight was posted and it had me wondering… should passengers be “shamed” for at … [Read More…]
Should I Go to Seoul?
I suck at planning ahead. With that being said, I *impulsively* booked the BOS-ICN mistake fare that was live for a day a few months ago. The “deal” was a ~$1,700 round trip in United GlobalFirst. The beauty of it all was that it booked in into United “A” fare class, meaning it’s totally refundable. … [Read More…]
“You Seem Awfully Young to Have a Platinum Card”
I’m just leaving Vancouver after an amazing 36 hours here, and I’m now at YVR in the Premium Plaza Lounge waiting to take my flight to Seattle for the Seattle sessions this weekend. I was minding my business when an older gentleman looked over and [casually] asked me how I got into the lounge. “You … [Read More…]
Let’s Talk About Haunted Hotels
I have a great group of travel friends. We keep in touch constantly via WhatsApp, are we’re often booking 5 or 6 trips at a time while simultaneously talking about banter. Now I understand the reason why my phone battery is always red. An interesting comment was made during a discussion about one of my … [Read More…]
Would You Pay to Eat in a Stranger’s Home?
I am a huge fan of airbnb – I’m looking forward to a “local” experience on my upcoming trip to Vancouver. I have had plenty of positive experiences using airbnb, both as a host, as well as a guest, but their newest initiative might be a bit hard for some to swallow… literally! I came … [Read More…]
Discussion: Medicating Babies Before Flying?
As a new mom, I’ve become very active in local moms groups ranging from daily stroller strides fitness classes to Facebook support groups and online communities. I enjoy connecting with other moms and making new friends in the area. While Baby Points Traveler has yet to take his inaugural flight, I have noticed that other … [Read More…]
Will Traveling Through EWR Soon Seem Nightmarish For Some?
There are three things happening, or will be happening in the very near future [simultaneously, even] that might make my home airport, EWR, nightmarish to travel to and from due to 3 distinct “hiccups”. Those who I can imagine who will be suffering the most are those traveling to NYC, using Amtrak as a codeshare, … [Read More…]
“No Traveling Past 24 Weeks Pregnancy” Policy + My Experiences Traveling While Pregnant
There seems to be a lot of chatter about traveling while expecting, especially now that Disney Cruise Lines came forward with a new policy geared towards pregnant passengers. For the most part, policy or no policy, I think deciding when or when not to take a trip comes down to common sense – only do … [Read More…]
Discussion: Yet Another “Tipping” Post
It’s no secret that I write a blog that obviously focuses on traveling on a budget; I can’t help it – deals naturally excite me the same way other people get a rush in other areas of life. The downfalls of being “budget-conscious” is that some people often lump the words “deals”, “budget”, “bargain”, etc. … [Read More…]
Discussion: The Battle of the Middle Armrest
A few months ago, I was on an Air Berlin (tightest economy seats ever, for the record) flight from JFK to TXL, and I encountered and interesting scenario. The plane had a 2-4-2 seat configuration, and I was seated in 25K by the window. The passenger next to me was pretty restless during the entire … [Read More…]
