I wasn’t supposed to be on this United Flight to London but I woke up to an early morning text saying “sorry your flight to London is canceled, contact us if you want to reschedule” and I jumped out of bed quickly awake and freaking out as I was set […]
The controversy has popped up into our social feeds and reignited a debate of fierce stances – should you ask to recline the airline seat or not or just go for it without warning? I don’t normally jump into the “topic of the day” but here I am because I’m […]
We are now one step closer to my favorite things (Scotland version) – the Highlands, Whiskey and Shortbread Biscuits now that American Airlines launched their new (seasonal) direct flights from Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) to Edinburgh (EDI) this week. For East Coast travelers that fly out of Philadelphia, this is […]
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) […]

The first time I visited the British Airways lounge JFK at Terminal 7, I was with my niece and we had just fled the city that was gridlocked due to a Presidential visit in our own version of the Amazing Race. I was stress out upon arrival while my […]
When the amazing British Airways deal popped up for two days in October, I was a bit too slow to jump on a direct flight to London so I ended up with a British Airways codeshare flying Philadelphia to Manchester UK on American Airlines (formerly USAirways) connecting to British Airways […]
When it comes to finding the travel deals (and travel hacking) you need to be ready. There have been so many times when I was shut out of a great deal because I wasn’t a member of the frequent flier club of a particular airline, didn’t have this credit card/membership […]
When my international flight lands back in the U.S., I have fun trying to beat my times from plane to curb (need to find a bit of fun at the airport). Flying back from Lima, I met Noah who played along with me at JFK as we landed and made […]
