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. Proof that a purse can be conservative and still beautiful! Sometimes a girl just needs a serious bag, and the GRACESHIP New York delivers at a reasonable price. It’s…
And the hits just keep on coming….. Last month Delta announced changes to its rewards program, which most people weren’t too happy with. A month ago, I never thought I would be pointing to Delta as a good example of how to make changes. But here I am, about to do that. See, while Delta…
Here are the stories that caught my eye in the last week or so…. It surprises me that there were more bags lots but fewer complaints. Airlines Got Fewer Complaints But Bungled More Bags, from NBC News. (They also tell you what the world’s best airport is!) Does your airline owe you money? USA Today…

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. The Brickabrack Tote is another gorgeous spring bag. It is easy to clean, has a large interior and metal feet, and multiple pockets. The leather trim gives it class…
Have you ever had this conversation with a spouse or loved one? Them: “You have hundreds of thousands of points! You should use them for our hotel/flight/gift certificate/etc. Isn’t that what they’re there for?” You: “Actually, I have a specific use in mind for them. We are going to book an amazing trip using a…
With the most recent aviation tragedy fresh in our minds, many are concerned about the safety of flying.
