Soooo, this is interesting. NBC reported a story on the Today Show about a passenger using a Knee Defender, which keeps the passenger in front of them from reclining in their seat. The man was using the Knee Defender while he had his laptop on the tray table (the Knee Defender was attached to the…
I’m in New York right now, and traveling by train to get to several offices around the area. Mostly the train is pretty nice–there is wifi, I can work or read, and it’s reasonably quick. Also, people have been very nice. Since I’ve been traveling off-peak hours I’ve had plenty of room, and no one…
You know how it is. Your flight has been delayed, but you’ve finally landed at your destination and you’re anxious to get off the plane. Impatiently, you wait for the seats ahead of you to clear. Once it’s your turn, you grab your suitcase out of the overhead bin and dash for the door. But…
I’m a pretty lucky person. Because the Home Warrior is a stay at home dad he’s often able to drop me off and pick me up from the airport. (Although I don’t know if he feels so lucky!) Drop offs at the airport always seem to go smoothly. Cars stop, unload, say goodbye, and away…

Reader E got stuck in the middle next to a nervous, smelly flier. Turns out the woman on the other side was his traveling companion. Should she have sat next to him, sparing Reader E a terrible flight?
Conde Nast recently asked their Twitter followers for their biggest pet peeves. Do you agree with what they said?
If someone accidentally whacks you in the head, or knee, or arm with their carry-on, should you say something? Last week I got a text from a friend, another frequent business traveler, who said that between people boarding and leaving the plane he was hit in the knee or head no less than six times. In…
This past Monday I had my first super-early flight in several months. I had to be at the airport at 5am, which meant I got up at 4. Just a bit of information for y’all: I am not a morning person. At. All. At 4am I was trying to put my makeup on, staring into…
