What I’ve Learned From Living In Hotels

I've been living out of hotels for almost a year now, and have mixed emotions about the entire experience. I'm working on a more in-depth post, but it's tough to distill such a big life change into something readable. So that's a work in progress.

In the meantime, I put together a quick list of some of the main things I've realized from living out of my suitcase over on USA Today Travel’s new Road Warrior Voices blog...

I get messages every day asking about the laundry situation, in particular, so hopefully this is helpful for some of you!

How To Shame A Person That Gropes You On A Flight

There's an interesting video going viral which was taken by a lady after she was groped on an IndiGo flight within India. Here's the description of the YouTube video:

'This man on the seat behind mine, put his fingers in the seat gap to touch me!!! I was very shocked for sometime to react. By then the flight went to landing mode. Then the moment flight touched down, i got up. Saw his hand was again on the side ready to take up any opportunity to touch me!!! I created such a scene, humiliated him in front of the whole flight! He thought like usual girls will keep quiet and he can get away with this! I have lodged an FIR now! He is a very rich man of Bhubaneswar and is now very humiliated in front of the people who know him. Cant believe the ordeal i had to go thru but being silent is a crime! The police officer was very helpful and the Indigo staff remained with me throughout. The man is under police custody currently. I clicked his pictures and made videos, shouted so loud that the entire plane came forward to see him! i made sure i humiliate him as much as possible because i know law will do nothing'

Sneaky Bargains: Premium Class Over Economy

Logic suggests that an economy class fare will always be cheaper than a premium cabin fare. However, because of the complicated pricing systems used by airlines, along with other factors, that is not always the case. Other times, the difference between economy class and premium cabin fares can be insignificant, making the decision of purchasing […]

Opera View and New Years, Too: My Best Ultimate Rewards Redemptions

Ultimate Rewards points are one of the most popular rewards currencies out there thanks to their desirable transfer partners, flexible use and the ease of accrual.

Effective immediately, American Airlines will no longer impose a telephone booking fee for partner awards that cannot be booked online! This fee of $35 for international awards was particularly frustrating, given that less than half of American’s partners are searchable and bookable on the American website. As such, American had been imposing a telephone booking […]
