I got a press release yesterday and I don’t quite know what to make of it. Basically, a company called Blue Ribbon Bags will pay out $1,000 if your luggage doesn’t arrive (within four days of travel) for a $5 fee. It’s Bag Insurance. My first thought is that it sounds like an extremely valuable…
While it’s nice to celebrate the best airports in the world, it’s equally important to call attention to the terrible airports, too. Jalopnik, the transportation-obsessed brother of Gawker, just released their list of “Ten of the Most Garbage Airports in the World” and it’s pretty much guaranteed to remind you of the time you went…

Friends, we are gathered here today to lay to rest Google Express. My free trial is now over, which means it has — quite literally –Â expired. While the service lives on in the hearts and homes of others, it has delivered its last box of Kleenex to me, which is ironic because I could…

Airline food causes a lot of problems for a lot of people, but it’s usually of the gastrointestinal variety. This week, however, a Canadian Senator in Ottawa (not to be confused with the NHL’s Ottawa Senators) got in trouble for skipping her airline breakfast and expensing her replacement to the Canadian people. As a result,…
It’s called WOW Air for a reason. The RyanAir of Iceland just expanded into the US market and they’re offering fares that seem like they’re full-on mistakes. WOW just started service from Boston’s Logan Airport (click here for a genius trick to get into the first class security lane) and the flights go to London…

I don’t know how the other teams in the Final Four feel about this, but the Duke Men’s Basketball Team is sleeping comfortably knowing the Sheraton Indianapolis City Centre* they’re staying at has their backs.

BREAKING: I just got off the phone with an American Airlines spokesperson (who I won’t name for fear of losing his/her job at divulging advance information) and there is a development so delicious coming down the pipeline that you will most likely cancel all existing reservations and rebook your travel plans exclusively with American from…

You may be partial to the Admirals Club or the United Club, but if you’re not affiliated with an airline-specific lounge, this news is for you. The Club, that independent open-to-all shared-use lounge, has expanded yet again and now they’re operating in Seattle’s SEA-TAC airport. There will actually be two The Club lounges at SEA-TAC,…
