It’s happened to all of us. You get to the airport and your flight gets delayed by ten minutes. No big deal, you think. You’ll just hang out at the gate. Ten minutes passes, and it’s delayed another ten minutes, and then yet another ten minutes. What the heck?? I don’t know the reasoning behind…

Top 3 grooming activities to avoid on a flight
Women and golf
People’s reputations can be enhanced or diminished simply by the fact that they get talked about on the golf course. Advancements and promotions have happened because people play golf with the higher ups. This isn’t just the case in the for-profit sector—it’s true at nonprofits as well.

Crazy cab drivers

Years of short tempers, cancelled flights, and long lines and your passion may fade. So in honor of Valentine’s Day, I want to…

Posts from the Past: February
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.…
