My Favorite Choices To Power Devices When Traveling

March 26, 2015By Edward Pizzarello1 Comment

Spend enough time on the road and you’ll lose your fair share of chargers, combs, toothbrushes, etc. And, if you’re a bit nitty like me, you’ll start to grow attached to inanimate objects, maybe more than one might think reasonable. But, my nits are to your benefit, as I test a lot of different products. You can see a few of my favorite things here: Best Portable Charger On The Market 6 Essential Tools To Travel With Young Children My Favorite Toiletry Kit I decided to put together a post […]

Hilton’s First Promotion Of 2019 Is Actually Worth A Look

Hilton’s new promotion is great for business travelers, especially if you have short stays. It’s also unlimited and starts with your first stay. There’s a lot to like here, which isn’t something we say very often about hotel promos nowadays.

Did You Get Upgraded? Hyatt Is Upgrading Some Folks To M Life Noir Status

Free limo ride from the airport to your hotel. VIP lounges, guaranteed reservations for hotels and restaurants and a whole lot more perks. What’s not to love about M Life Noir status, especially when you get it free?

VIDEO: Is This Dad Dragging His Daughter Across The Airport Floor???

Being a parent is TOUGH. Far be it from me to judge most parenting decisions. But, I kinda want to judge this one.

Fixing Vegas, Airline Elite Pain And A Useful Hotel Promo?

Are airline elite members concerned about new requirements to earn status? Do we have an actual useful hotel promo? Is there a way to fix Vegas. We answer all those questions!

I Flew Frontier, Saved $400 And Didn’t Die. My Frontier Airlines Review

Those low-cost carriers always have very appetizing fare sales. Who wouldn’t want to pay $20 to fly somewhere? But, what does $20 really buy you? I found out exactly what Frontier does (and doesn’t) offer customers on my first flight with them recently.

A Summary Of United Airlines Global Services Benefits

As travel has gotten more stressful the benefits of elite status are even more valuable. In some cases, what used to be free for everyone is now only free for those customers that fly most frequently. I value my American Airlines Executive Platinum status more highly than any status I’ve earned, including 1K service with United Airlines. However, Global Services is another matter. For those not aware, Global Services is an invitation-only status level that United bestows on their best customers. What defines a best customer? Well, United doesn’t list […]

How To Use New Metro Silver Line To Get Between Dulles and Reagan National Airports

People talk about how bad the traffic is in places like Los Angeles with plenty of adjectives. And, it is quite bad. But, the traffic in DC is what I refer to as “stealthy bad”. It doesn’t get the same press that LA traffic does, but a trip that normally takes an hour can easily turn into a 3-hour ordeal. With visiting dignitaries, protests and construction as variables, weather can also wreak havoc on a system that consistently backs up during rush hour. For those of us that live in […]

Update: American Airlines Variable Choice Plus Pricing A Feature, Not A Bug

I have to admit, I was pretty pleased with the original announcement that American Airlines was creating bundled pricing that included change fees at a lower apparent cost. Things got a little better when American also announced they were expanding the timeframe you could request a same day change to your flight. And, then things started to get a bit screwy. It started with just one flight I couldn’t get to price right with Choice Plus as an add-on. But, then I did a bit more digging and found out […]

Is Foursquare Dead?

Venture Beat doesn’t think so, and I’m not 100% sure they’re wrong. But, before I discuss the article, a little background on why someone allergic to social media like me became a Foursquare nut. A few years ago, a company called TopGuest came up with this concept where you could earn airline miles and hotel points for checking in at various places on Foursquare. I can’t say I thought it was a terribly good business model, but they convinced a bunch of hotel chains to hand out miles for this. […]
