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. This bag. Wow. I love the classic, simple lines of this laptop bag from Le Donne. It has space for a 15 inch laptop, plus plenty of pockets for files…
In March I wrote about a friend who had 60k miles yanked from his account for supposed “seat blocking.” The quick synopsis: He travels 2-3 times per month on American, is Platinum, and had a big vacation to Europe scheduled for March. He immediately got on the upgrade list for both outbound and inbound. Inbound…

What was going on this week in years past? 2013 After experiencing an open middle seat not being shared I wrote an etiquette tip for how passengers should handle this situation. A Hampton Inn’s plugs in West Haven made my day. 2012 After falling asleep at an airport I polled to see if others ever…
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. Oh my goodness. This bag is gorgeous!! The Epiphanie Clover was designed as a purse/camera bag, with removable dividers to hold camera equipment. Take out those dividers and you’ve…
There is a chronic issue that plagues airports. It’s not delayed flights (although it feels like that’s a constant issue too!). It is people getting in the boarding line before it’s their turn.
