The Newest Business Class Product, Delta’s Baggage Guarantee is Only Temporary (!) and New Inflight Pillow..

News and notes from around the interweb: The most popular link I posted yesterday was the very first review of the new SAS business class, interesting because it’s a Star Alliance partner of United and will be a great new redemption option. Less than convenient (thank goodness for Google Translate) it wasn’t in English. Fortunately […]

The Most Epic Airline Safety Video You’ve Never Seen…

It's really interesting to see how much effort airlines are putting into safety videos nowadays. In many cases the videos are so entertaining that they go viral and people watch them from home, which says a lot.

Unarguably Air New Zealand does the best job, as they seem to have a new super-creative video every few months. For those of you that haven't seen it, here's their latest Hobbit themed safety video:

But I think Air New Zealand needs to move over, because EL AL's low cost carrier, UP, might just have one-UPped them for the title of the most epic safety video ever:

The 2 Best No Foreign Transaction Fee Credit Cards

We're now seven weeks into the new year, and after looking at my calendar I've realized that I've spent about five of those weeks outside the US. So it goes without saying that a vast majority of my credit card spend has also been outside the US.

I think on average most of us proportionally spend more money when traveling than when at home. Not only do charges add up quickly, but foreign transaction fees on credit cards can add up quickly as well. I'm often asked what the best no foreign transaction fee credit card is, and in my book there are two top picks:

Most Intimate Small-Ship Cruises for 2015

Bigger is better seems to be the mantra that dominates cruise news: simulated skydiving tunnels, robot bartenders, observation globes that dangle precipitously over the side of the ship. That’s fun, sure, but when intimacy is what you’re after, these mega-boats can feel a little… busy. If you like to cruise but want something on a...

Nat Geo Staff Picks: Favorite Travel Books

Travel literature. What is it? Memoirs detailing a life-changing trip in the Amazon, fiction that makes its setting a major character, nonfiction that asks its readers to consider a familiar destination in a new light—all of these fall under the travel literature umbrella.
