Hey readers! Got a question or something you want to discuss this weekend? Here’s the perfect opportunity! Whether you want to share an interesting travel story, a packing tip, an etiquette tip, or anything else going on in the business travel world, comment here and we’ll have a discussion.
Travel tip of the week:
- During winter it feels like every molecule of my body just dries up. Between the lack of humidity and the changing temperatures all the moisture
in my skin just disappears. When this happens it’s important to take care of your hands. On top of all of the environmental factors, frequent winter handwashing can strip the skin in your hands of even more moisture. Lady Light Travel sent me an email recommending Honey House Natural Solid Lotion—she said it goes on slightly sticky but absorbs into your skin, and that it’s water-resistant so you don’t have to reapply after every wash. The best time to apply is when your skin is damp. (If it’s too late and your hands are already cracking, try these dry skin repair tips.)

Comments of the week:
- This week I wrote a post with my thoughts on a USA Today story providing shameless tricks for free airport lounge access. @DaninMCI is our comment of the week and said “Most of this is outdated like getting an upgrade when dressed nice.One trick I would use is when offered a voucher to take a later flight for say $500, ask them to include a day pass or two along with it. It cost them nothing if they have the authority.””
Readers, chime in with what’s on your mind! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.
