If you’re an airline reading this, and you don’t like what I have to say, then change my mind. I would be happy to give your airline another try, but here is my personal roundup of airlines from least to greatest. This is based on my personal experience, and not necessarily from a list of…
Traveling during the holiday season can be stressful. More crowds, more delays, and just overall more potential for frustration. I have traveled many times during holiday weekends and here are a few of my tips.
“Why aren’t you loyal to one airline?” I get this question a lot. For as much as we’ve traveled, you’d think it would make sense to stick to one airline, one hotel chain, etc., in order to max out on travel points and miles. This may make sense to some people, but it hasn’t for…
I just purchased two flights on two different budget airlines. They were some of the cheapest flights I’ve ever purchased. I’ve flown on one of the airlines before, and had a good experience.

Not checking a bag means you have to be way more conscious of what you’re allowed and not allowed to bring on airplanes. Some countries have different requirements for what is permissible, and sometimes it totally depends on the whim of the TSA agent. However, there are things I bring that a lot of people are…
Airports are smart. They know you have to be there for hours on end and you will get thirsty, hungry and bored. They want you to indulge them for their $25 cheeseburgers and $15 magazines. Well, not this girl. Even when I budget to have plenty for the airport, it just sort of angers me that…

Some of us may have our carry-on packing down to a science, but what’s in that personal item of yours? When I am at home, my purse is full of everything but the kitchen sink. When I’m traveling, I have to be very selective of what goes in my purse and what stays home. I…
Written by: Heidi Papworth When my brother called me and suggested I come home for the Fourth of July cookout at his place, I told him that I hadn’t seen any money growing on the palm trees out front of my studio apartment. After all, I don’t consider flying home to be cheap. All of…
Everyone always says, “never travel on a holiday weekend.” And yes, it’s true that holiday weekends are much more crowded and harder to maneuver, but it’s not impossible. Sometimes it just works out to be the best for you, especially if you have paid holidays and limited vacation days. This was the case for us two…
Jimmy Kimmel did a video recently with a list of annoying things that people do on airplanes. Patrick Stewart acted out Expedia’s top five annoying people on the airplane, which included “Chatty Charlie,” who insists on talking to you and everyone else about nonsense for the entire flight. Other annoying traits he acted out were…
It doesn’t matter how organized or prepared I am, every time it’s my turn to put my stuff in the bins, I start to panic and riffle through my stuff to make sure everything is in order. There are always a lot of people behind you waiting. It’s like you can feel their eyeballs on…
