A few years ago I started putting together all of my suggestions for planning an international business trip. There were a lot of topics, including passport and visa requirements, vaccinations, credit cards, safety, packing, time changes, culture shock, and more. I’m in the middle of prepping for another big international trip, and reading through these…
A few months ago JT from The Points Guy wrote about a scary medical emergency he had during a flight. It sounded terrifying! I took special note because I’ve been sick a few times during flights and it’s terrible. (Also, I know JT IRL so I like to read his stuff 🙂 ) Being sick…
I’m starting to make my plans and arrangements for a trip to India later this year. As usual, the idea of such a long trip starts making me anxious! I know it’s silly but I can’t help it. I obsess over where to sit, what to bring, and how to be as comfortable as possible.…
A few months ago fellow Boarding Area blogger Gary Leff posted about an incident with Delta, Global Entry, and a woman traveling to the US from Paris. It caught my eye and I’ve had it saved as a personal reminder because this woman 100% could have been me. The passenger, a Global Entry member, was…

A few months ago I wrote about what to do when your flight is delayed. Number one on the list: call the airline as soon as possible. What happened to me last week is exactly the reason why. Last week I traveled to Manila, basically halfway around the world from Texas. Typically I fly DFW-Tokyo…
Sometimes your local airport won’t have a spot available for a Global Entry interview for months. Is it worth it to travel somewhere just for the interview? Reader A asks…. I’ve been researching Global Entry and decided to go for it since I plan on going overseas at least once a year for the next…
So, wow. Big news coming out in the last 24 hours. Today the DHS is expected to announce a ban of electronics larger than a cell phone in the cabins of certain US-bound international flights. Larger electronics such as laptops can be placed in checked baggage, and cell phones and medical devices will still be…
Last year I traveled to India for the first time. While I’ve traveled internationally before, this was my first time needing a visa. The process was…daunting, to say the least. I wrote about my experience and lessons learned in the November edition of the Uniglobe Insight newsletter. Check out my tips for making the process…
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…
