Yesterday, Dan, the infamous writer of Points with a Crew posed the question: “Can you fly First Class Too Much?” My answer was pretty simple: @PointsWithACrew Nope, Next question? 😛— Trevor (@tmount) January 27, 2016Of course my comment was tongue in cheek. Of course, I prefer the pointy end of the plane, everybody knows that about…
This past weekend, the mid-Atlantic and Northeastern United States (and even some further south) experienced a historic snow event. Aside from travel challenges related to the storm, I’m thinking that a storm like this probably doesn’t bubble to the surface from a travel perspective. But I learned something interesting from this storm, and it very well may…
The Darwin Awards are an off-shoot of Charles Darwin’s “The Origin of Species,” there are some rules, but the general idea, as pulled from the most prominent site: Nominees significantly improve the gene pool by eliminating themselves from the human race in an obviously stupid way. They are self-selected examples of the dangers inherent in…
Earlier this month, Nick at PF Digest shared some confessions. I thought I’d share some as well, because, emulation is a great form of flattery, and the end of the year is a time to reflect. Despite my vendoming nature, I’ve never stayed at a Four Seasons or Andaz hotel. On that note, I’ve flown…
Last week, Joe from As the Joe Flies, Joe Cortez, and I convened to award the Saverocity Observation Deck 2015 End of Year Awards. Of course, this was a light hearted, and eggnog filled event. The actual podcast will be published in the near future, however we wanted to share the nominees ahead of time.This…
American Airlines is creating a real Premium Economy cabin!Now we aren’t talking about Main Cabin Extra, which just gives you a slightly wider seat, and slightly more legroom. No, No, No, American is coming up with something that is more similar to what we’ve seen from Singapore Airlines, Lufthansa, and Cathay Pacific (others too, but…
Recently I traveled to Mainz, Germany for a quick trip to share the Christmas Markets with family (post coming soon). Enroute, between the three of us, we visited 3 airport lounges in the States (across 2 airports), and 1 in London. Two were American Airlines Admiral’s Clubs, one was the Centurion Lounge (at DFW), the…
Whenever I travel, I at least make the attempt not to look like a blatant tourist. There are some places that you visit, that you will invariably look like a tourist. China comes to mind, Ghana might be another place to come to mind. But, despite that, I still try to do my best to…
Last night, I read an interesting article by the Centre for Aviation (CAPA), about Emirates reaching to their 30 year anniversary. While normally these articles are just interesting to read, but not terribly striking, this one did.The specific part that struck me was this statement: The switch from Dubai International to Dubai World will probably…
Matt wrote a great post yesterday that reminded me of a post I had half written, after attending a company offsite back in August at the Hyatt Regency Chesapeake. I won’t go into too much detail, but we had a guest speaker who talked about how one can apply project management principles and processes in…
