Earlier this year American Airlines announced they would be changing up their boarding process starting March 1.

Last week was my birthday. Unbeknownst to me, my driver’s license was set to expire on my birthday this year. I was pretty surprised when I discovered at the airport that it was expired!

Last week a friend sent me an email with some questions about Global Entry. She is starting a new job with regular travel, and wanted to know about my experiences. I may have gone a teensy bit overboard with my praise, but if you are a frequent traveler and travel internationally even once a year…

So when SCOTTeVEST wanted to send me their women’s trench coat to try out, I was intrigued. Read on for my…
If you’ve spent any time at all in airports, you’ve seen Travelpro suitcases. They are everywhere, a perennial favorite of business travelers and flight crews. Travelpro recently released the new Crew 11 21” Spinner Carry On, their lightest 21” suitcase yet. I was thrilled when they sent me one to test out. It faced the…
