The Real Moneymakers for Airlines

May 3, 2017 by Jason Kessler 2 Comments

Have you ever thought about how airlines actually make money? Bag fees, on-board meals, priority access — those are the easy ones. But what about the actual seat price? Does economy class make economic sense? I’m not an economist, so I can’t answer any of your questions. Luckily, there’s a video for that. A video that…

The Definitive List of the Best Foods at Trader Joe’s

a building with a sign on the side

May 1, 2017 by Jason Kessler 5 Comments

Trader Joe’s is a cult that happens to focus on groceries instead of, say, celestial utopias. Unlike the cults that promise eternal life on Saturn, TJoe’s offers great prices, free samples, and a kitschy explorer theme. If you live near one, I can almost guarantee that you’ve joined the cult (Welcome! We’re so happy to…

This tweet (and subsequent tweets) just lit the entire internet on fire: 1) A @united gate agent isn’t letting girls in leggings get on flight from Denver to Minneapolis because spandex is not allowed? — Shannon Watts (@shannonrwatts) March 26, 2017 Whoa whoa whoa, Internet! It seems like we’ve got a pretty significant controversy on…

The Reason Gummy Bears Are Upright May Surprise You…

March 24, 2017 by Jason Kessler 1 Comment

Maybe I should have called this “This That Make You Go Hmmm” Week on Fly&Dine, because yesterday we looked at the right way to ride an escalator and today we’re digging into the reason why gummy bears look more like cartoon bears than real ones. I was reading about how HARIBO, the German gummy candy company,…

You’ve Been Using Escalators Wrong

March 23, 2017 by Jason Kessler 9 Comments

After discovering this news, I’m like 95% sure that my entire world is shattered. Get ready because I’m about to shatter yours, too. You know how you’re supposed to stand on the right and walk on the left when you’re on an escalator? Apparently that’s completely wrong, according to the head of DC’s Metro system.…

You Need This South Bay Brunch.

I think about breakfast/brunch as a meal the same way I think about Emilio Estevez as a Sheen. I’m glad it’s there but I wouldn’t be all that upset if it disappeared and left dinner (Martin) and lunch (Charlie) as the only remaining meals. This brings up an interesting point: Where is Emilio Estevez? Has anybody…

Royal Jordanian Has an Amazing Response to the US Electronics Travel Ban

March 22, 2017 by Jason Kessler 2 Comments

What do you do when the US institutes yet another version of their travel ban (this time for electronics)? Well, if you’re Royal Jordanian, you tap into your inner Maya Angelou and post a little poem on Twitter. It may not win this year’s Nobel prize, but I appreciate that they’re speaking up. To be…

Is This the Best Paleo Traveling Snack?

February 20, 2017 by Jason Kessler 2 Comments

Fly&Dine started as a blog about food while you travel and I mostly covered meals, but every now and then I’d post a story about the unsung hero of traveling: snacks. This is kind of backwards, because while meals are definitely important, I’d say most of my travel days (by air, at least) focus much more…

Every Day is a Food Festival at MGM National Harbor

The newest jewel in the MGM lion’s mane is the MGM National Harbor and even though it’s barely two months old, it’s already turning heads (not stomachs) with its insanely impressive culinary lineup. The MGM team flew me out to have a look under the hood last week and I left with a full belly…

Valentines for the Frequent Flyer

February 14, 2017 by Jason Kessler Leave A Comment

It’s Valentine’s Day and that means flowers, chocolates, and hundreds of little cards with Paw Patrol puns for most couples. For the married frequent flyer, though, it’s a day to remind you that your relationship with the Hilton check-in desk clerk may be stronger these days than the one you have at home. For the…

There are rites of passage in every culture around the world: bar mitzvahs, quinceaneras, the time your dad tells you that this is the last time he’s going to bail you out of jail — but this time is really the last time and he’s not kidding so don’t even try it, okay, kid? One…

How to Get Your Own TV Show

You may or may not have heard, but I’m hosting a new show on Travel Channel called Trip Testers. If that sounds crazy to you, it sounds doubly crazy to me. For all the time I spent performing in plays as a kid, I never once expected to have my own TV show. Character actor…

In Defense of the Bidet

If you’ve ever traveled to Asia, there’s a good chance you’ve experienced the glory of the bidet. I used a bidet for the first time a few years back and I’m hooked. In fact, I was so impressed that I bought one for my home toilet. I even bought one for my dad. My review:…

We’ve got another trip through the travels of Mr. Paul Bacon. This time, we’re heading to Nuremberg… On December 26 most of the restaurants are still closed for the Christmas holiday. We asked the hotel for a restaurant that may be open and after they called around they found one that was available. We made…
