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. Hooray for red!

From the Road Warriorette homefront….
Change is in the wind here at Road Warriorette HQ. What kind of change, you ask? Well, the exciting but unexpected kind. The oh-my-goodness-how-did-we-get-into-this-but-isn’t-it-awesome kind.

Travel etiquette: Should passengers turn their phones on silent while flying?
At the start of my marathon flying adventure last week I thought the next flying etiquette post would be about the woman that sprayed perfume a few rows in front of me. But on my return I was distracted by something else… (But don’t worry. The perfume rant will come soon!) Remember a few weeks…
Rapidly declining Rewards
Remember the good old reward programs days? When airlines at least appeared to value their customers and the time they spent with them? In the last year and a half or so, it seems like it’s been a race to the bottom for airline loyalty programs. First Southwest makes a change to their Rapid Rewards…

Recently I was driving to work, listening to the radio, and I heard a story about minifasting.
