Monthly Archives for December 2014.
Well, 2014 is coming to a close. It has been an interesting year on the blog, with plenty of comments, debates, and interesting anecdotes. Not a huge surprise, the most hotly debated posts all related to etiquette (pictured is a book written by one of my favorite etiquette bloggers Patricia Rossi). Here are four of…
It seems like this time of year sickness just runs rampant.

Illness seems to multiply exponentially when flying, unfortunately for business travelers. When I start traveling again in…
Before my life as a business traveler I spent a couple of years during college waitressing. It was the most fun job I’ve had, but working as a waitress was harder than I thought it would be.

The holidays are filled with so many wonderful things—time with loved ones, delicious food, maybe a year-end bonus if you’re lucky…. But if you have to travel during these last few weeks of the year you may notice that there are a ton of extra people at the airport, many of whom don’t fly often…
Each week Road Warriorette features a travel bag that hits all of the high notes for ladies on the road: pockets, construction, and (of course!) style. It’s been a while since I’ve done a travel bag post, and I can’t imagine a better one to get back into the swing of things with than the Samsonite Camelot…
On Monday American Airlines announced that as of January 1st customers who purchase eligible First or Business Class tickets will receive bonus miles based on class and fare type during 2015.
