In terms of food magazines, Saveur is one of the top names in the business. As a subscriber, I get the latest issue as soon as they ship and I was elated to see that March’s “Five To Try” segment was about “Luscious Layovers.” I would have preferred if they consulted Fly&Dine for some help,…
UPDATE 4/29/15: Is this trick dead? Read about the Parking Spot’s big changes right over here. An ENORMOUS tip of the hat to the ladies of Heels First Travel for this incredible trick that gets you a ride to LA’s famous In & Out Burger and back to LAX FOR FREE. Got a layover and…
Okay, okay, so there’s no such thing as “Virgin Airlines,” but I won’t fault Portlandia too much for that. Do you watch Portlandia? I do. I love it. It’s Fred Armisen (SNL) and Carrie Brownstein (Sleater-Kinney) sending up the idiosyncrasies of PDX in the most hilarious way possible: via a sketch show on IFC. Their…

It took more than thirty years after the very first LongHorn Steakhouse opened in Atlanta’s Buckhead neighborhood in 1981, but Hartfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) finally has an outpost of the chain for travelers desperate to get some charred beef in before a flight. Just opened on February 2nd, the airport version of LongHorn resides…
So I was cruising around Twitter and came across this tweet from @steglobal (retweeted by Heathrow Airport): Superb thought by Gordon Ramsey – @planefood in @HeathrowAirport have picnic boxes to takeaway in chill bags. BRAVO ! pic.twitter.com/4yYD41wQje — ste global (@steglobal) February 17, 2014 That. Looks. Awesome. Allow me to dissect the tweet…
If you watch food TV, you know Curtis Stone. He’s currently the host of Top Chef Masters, but you may have caught him on America’s Next Great Restaurant, Around the World in 80 Plates, Take Home Chef, or any one of the fourteen thousand* shows on which he’s appeared (*possible slight exaggeration). No matter how…

You may have caught their incredible Lord of the Rings safety video back in 2012 or their more recent one where…
We’re right in the middle of Winter Travel Hellâ„¢ (trademarked by pure evil itself), which means that flights around the country are getting delayed left and right due to terrible weather conditions. Those delays equate to far more time in the airport than you expected and for anyone who didn’t anticipate those delays, there’s a…
TWO DOLLARS. That’s what it costs to fly your bag in terms of jet fuel. Or at least that’s what a new study by the Detroit Free Press says. US carriers pocketed $3.5 billion in baggage fees in 2012, so it’s obviously a major revenue source to them, but come on. That’s a 1250% markup.…
