We all want to look our best, and it’s not always easy to finish your entire beauty regimen before making that 5am flight. (For years I waited until I reached my destination before putting on my makeup. Until I traveled with a coworker who said, as we greeted each other at 4am at the airport,…

My friends from New York are filled with stories about crazy cab drivers. My experience has been mostly pretty boring though, some eccentrics but nothing I would call crazy. A few weeks ago that all changed. After finishing up work, I needed to catch a cab from Queens into Manhattan. I hadn’t seen too many…

For some of you, this is probably old hat. But for this Texas native, snow covered mountains are awe-inspiring. They are so beautiful! One of the best things of flying in the winter is seeing the incredible landscape below. Of course, if I had to drive in it I might think it’s less beautiful…. Here…

2013 I started a new series about maximizing points for business travelers, and that week we talked about loyalty programs and credit cards. After a particularly cold trip on a small plane, I decided that it’s not a good idea to gate check your coat. We discussed what makes an airline good for frequent fliers.…
