I recently discovered this company in NY with a very interesting idea. A walking tour accompanied by a professional photographer. Not only do you get to see the views of the Brooklyn Bridge, but you’ve got a portrait with the skyline as a backdrop. I was very impressed by their New York image gallery. Seems [...]

Looking back on the previous year I realized that the travel world has changed me.
After decades of showing up 1 hour before my flight (and that’s for international flights, mind you) now I end up showing up so early – I have 2 hours at the gate.
I credit that to ElAl.
A good friend of mine [...]

It must be getting boring reading this blog, or at least depressing. Service is getting worse, everything costs extra and prices have not come down to reflect the economy. The airlines have re-written the law of supply and demand. “Don’t supply anything and charge to the hilt when customers demand what they deserve”. All of [...]

The New York Times “Haggler” column featured an informative and relevant article on travel protection insurance. Like all insurance – if you didn’t need to file a claim – you are happy. If, like me, you don’t buy things like earthquake insurance in Ranana and flood insurance in Beersheva – you are also happy.
But what [...]

US Air has started daily flights to Israel from Philadelphia. Prices seem quite low to places other than Philadelphia. I managed to book a flight on their Israel site to Boston for $875 (via Philadelphia). Interestingly enough, the exact same flight to Philadelphia costs $200 more.
Flights leave TLV at 11:15p and arrive at PHL 5:10a [...]

Yes, you read that right – contributed by an avid reader who just bought 77 days of disney!
Getting discounts on Disney Orlando tickets are almost impossible. Prior to this post we knew of two ways – 1) Be a Florida resident and 2) Spend a day in a time share presentation (and a lifetime getting [...]

The problem
Booking flights online often require immediate purchase. Buy it or lose it.

UPDATE – May 12 – Full 3407 Buffalo FAA Transcript released – here.
In light of last weeks tragic crash of a Continental Connection Dash 8 near Buffalo, I decided to tackle the issue of commuter airline safety. First, the good news:
The planes themselves have good safety records. They may be claustrophobic and bounce around a [...]
