I’m becoming cranky in my middle age. That much I know. Perhaps I am far enough away from my halcyon days of travel when weekend mileage runs were quick cultural skinny dips. And week-long vacations were reserved for deeper dives exploring the underbelly of geographic stretches far away. Frequent travel programs were important – earning or using…
I am giving away all my secrets lately. First I confessed that I travel with my secret weapons for good hair. Now I’m admitting to three secret travel toiletries that I cannot live without.

Less than two weeks after the infamous United Airlines incident, another viral video is making the social media rounds. Tonight American Airlines is in the hot seat. A video has hit social media showing the moments after an American Airlines employee allegedly hits a passenger with a stroller on a flight. The incident took place on Friday afternoon…

It allows one to earn 5,000 Alaska Mileage Plan miles for a new account sign up before April 30, 2017. …
