I’m sure this is not big news for some travelers, but my first reaction was, “Well, that kinda sucks.” I read about this first on the Open Suitcase, and was really a bit surprised. Sure, print media is dying. But, I had to figure…
I always like to see hotel chains announce their promos early. While I generally don’t change my travel patterns based on the promos, lots of travelers do. More time to plan for those that need to do so is never a bad thing. That’s…
It looks like TSA PreCheck hit 40 (airports, that is). There have been recent announcements about Cleveland and Austin. Then Memphis. And, finally Raleigh. I’m a huge fan of PreCheck. I’ve been happy to use it at my home airport of Washington Dulles over…
