Your flight has been canceled – what do you do? In the U.S., probably cry, get stressed out trying to salvage things and hope for an open seat the same day. Well, if you are originating in Europe, you can actually get canceled flight compensation if you meet all the […]
I called the hotel to see if I was hip enough to stay there after a bit of time on their website where I definitely felt out of the demographic pictured. I didn’t quite ask that exact question but did ask “what is the mix of guest ages?” The New […]
Sometimes, I make travel mistakes – dumb mistakes – where I should know better but somehow I just fail at being a fabulous (ha-ha!) traveler. The universe caught me this time with a six hour layover at London Gatwick. I also thought British Airways would know better (or be better) […]
