I just got back from my first vacation to Buenos Aires and I was blown away by how different it was from my expectations. While I knew there would be plenty of beef and Malbec involved, I had no idea that Bs.As. (see? I’m a local now) had much more in common with New York…
$15 is Great, but $15 x Infinity is Even Better [ad]
A holiday poem in honor of the best DOSH offer yet (skip to the end if you just want the translation): As the turkeys get brined and recipes refined, let us all give thanks (while we wear holiday-themed Spanx). While Dosh’s new offer may dare to seem more than fair, the fine folks in Texas aren’t conspiring…
A Plea to Southwest…
Last week I flew out of Burbank for the first time in ages. Southwest operates roughly 7 million flights out of the diminutive Terminal A and I’ve grown to love Southwest the same way I love chicken fingers. They both don’t try to be anything they’re not. They’re not dressing themselves up as some sort…

Tired of hearing about DOSH yet? I’m not. I love this app. If you’re a business traveler, I legitimately think you could supplement your income significantly by using Dosh. Check out my previous post on the subject here, but the bottom line is that you can register a company card on Dosh, then use the…
Brussels Airport Sprouts Major Security Annoyance
Are you a well-seasoned traveler? Do you give yourself plenty of time to get to your gate after you clear security so you won’t miss your flight? If so, Brussels Airport has a message for you: we will defeat you by springing surprise passport checks on you just before you reach your gate. Also, they…
DOUBLE CASH BACK with Dosh! Act fast! [sponsored]
Attention! Attention! Dosh, the app that I regularly crow about, is offering double cash back from now until September 24th for nearby offers. That means the free money you normally get just by registering your credit card is now double free money. So if they’re already giving out free cash, why would they need to…

One of the joys of Dosh is the immediacy of getting your cash back. In fact, this month the fine people at Dosh are encouraging us to spread the love of #DoshNow, a hashtag that identifies the exact moment you get your free cash back. In previous Dosh posts, I’ve talked about how amazing it…
Flight Food Review: Copa Business Class LAX-PTY
As everyone knows, Panama is the gastronomic center of the world. Okay, okay, maybe it’s not. But the good news is, Copa Airlines still puts out a decent plate of food when you’re flying from LAX to Panama City in Business Class. Is it the best airline meal I’ve ever had? Not by a long…

Pool, Pita, and Pleasure at the Fairmont Miramar
Ask anyone what their favorite part of summer is and you’ll hear a lot of talk of grilled meats, watermelon, and cold beers. We (and by “we” I mean “humans”) love a good cookout. Now what happens when you replace Uncle Jerry and his overcooked flank steaks? You get a meal at The Kitchen at…
Delta Makes Huge Additions to On-Board Experience
At last night’s Delta Altitude event in Los Angeles, we were able to sample the newest additions to Delta’s in-flight program and I have to say, things are looking pretty sweet for Delta passengers. Or savory, as the case may be. The biggest news to come out of the event is that chefs Jon Shook…
Are American Airlines Free Economy Meals Any Good?
Airline food is the Rodney Dangerfield of cuisine. When it’s free, people complain that it’s bad. When it’s not free, they complain it costs too much. It always reminds me of the joke that opens Annie Hall (you can stop after ten seconds): Such small portions, indeed. So when American Airlines announced that they’d be…
Your Next Favorite Cash Back App is DOSH [sponsored post]
You like free money, right? We all do. While pennies from heaven sounds nice in theory, the reality is that we’d all wind up with a lot of welts and bruises if coins started raining down on us. Pennies have a lot of velocity, right? Instead of hoping for a meteorological fortune to fall your…
