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…
I leave soon for India, and I have spent a lot (A LOT) of time thinking about what to wear during transit. It takes 30 hours and four flights to get there, and I want to make sure that whatever I’m wearing is as comfortable as possible. However, I will be traveling with coworkers, so…
Due to being pregnant with twins and then on maternity leave, I haven’t traveled internationally in over a year. But I definitely remember how awful the customs lines were, and how much time Global Entry saved me once I signed up. The last time I flew internationally without Global Entry I had to wait two…
Tomorrow a friend is traveling internationally for the first time. I am really excited for him (and slightly envious of his cool vacation!). When he confessed that he was a little apprehensive about the whole super long flight thing, I told him I would send him a bunch of links to past posts about international…
Travel is part of the job for many of us, and heading to the office directly from the airport is often an unfortunate necessity. Even though you may feel exhausted and travel-weary, it is possible to avoid the travel-worn look that is the hallmark of many road warriors. No one has to know you woke…
Later this year I will be heading back to Manila with an extra stop in either Singapore or Hyderabad. My company’s policy has recently changed so I will be flying business class, without using my own miles or cash to upgrade! (Woohoo!!). In the past I’ve always flown American as that’s where I have status and…
