3 Solid Cloud Backup Solutions for Traveling Photographers
Join Vagabondish on Twitter and Facebook.
Cloud backup solutions are seemingly a dime-a-dozen these days. There are so many different flavors, it can seem overwhelming to pick just one. I’m not a hardcore computer nerd and picking The Absolute Best Backup Service is like trying to pick out the prettiest prom dress (I speak from experience). But after trialing a variety […]

Dubai Airport Taxi Scam
For the most part I find Dubai to have a great taxi infrastructure in place. Taxis are readily available, clean, cheap, and I usually find the drivers know where they're going (of course there are exceptions, but there are much worse cities in terms of drivers and their knowledge of the city).
Even though I've been to Dubai well over a dozen times, I faced a bit of a scam the most recent time I arrived and tried to get a taxi. Maybe I've just gotten too used to Emirates Chauffeur, whereby I don't even have to grab my own taxi on arrival.
But upon arrival from Muscat on Oman Air, we tried to grab a taxi to the Grand Hyatt. There was virtually no one in the taxi queue, and there seemed to be two separate "lanes" of taxis. One with the metered taxis I'm used to, and one with black cars (commonly also found at some hotels).

Delta Just Imposed Secret 3-Week Advance Purchase Requirement on Domestic Saver Awards
On Friday (you always dump bad news on Fridays), Delta eliminated their award charts — just pulled them off the website — without telling anyone. When asked they said that members now get all they need to know from the award calendar. Instead of telling you in advance what their price list is, Delta will […]

Malaysia Airlines Enrich Award Chart Devaluation
There's no arguing that Malaysia Airlines has 99 problems, and too many passengers on their planes ain't one of them. ;)
Malaysia Airlines has announced changes to their Enrich frequent flyer program, which kick in as of February 16, 2015. They're changing both their earnings rates as well as changing their redemption rates, but ironically only for travel on their own flights, and not for travel on oneworld partners -- that's the opposite of what most airlines seem to do nowadays!
Malaysia's Enrich program will be following the industry trend whereby they'll be offering more miles on higher fare classes, while they'll be offering fewer miles on lower fare classes.
