The further you get in Maine, the less chance there is of finding a hotel that belongs to one of the major chains. While there are some wonderful 'local' hotels, staying at a hotel that allow you to earn status points and receive your elite benefits is always a nice.
On this particular trip, I was visiting friends in nearby Wiscasset, home to the Chewonki Foundation, an organization that has been ...
2012 has been a great year for me. I have concluced the first half of my senior year at KU, and as hard as it is for me to believe, I will be graduating in May with a degree in Environmental Studies, and a minor in Business.
On the other hand, 2012 has been one of my best travel years! After many years of flying exclusively on United, I decided to give American some business, and have been very impressed with the company. My experiences on American remind me of the United that we all ...

United Airlines Economy Plus Singapore-Denver
Traffic was non-existent as our cab sped towards the Grand Hyatt. The driver spoke excellent English, and upon discovering that this was our first time in Singapore, offered up several suggestions for places to visit. The growing list of suggestions was clearly geared towards a person spending more than a day in Singapore, though I did not reveal to him the ...
Thanks to the glitch that occurred when Singapore Airlines upgraded their computers over the summer, I am off to Singapore next week. I am booked on on what is currently the longest flight in the world, SQ21 (EWR-SIN). After a two day stay at the Grand Hyatt, I'll be heading back to the US, although it will be on the Singapore A380 (SIN-NRT-LAX).
I have been to Singapore once before, although my visit was so short that I barely got to see the city. With three days in the city, what do you think I should visit? Several people have suggested that I should visit the Marina Bay Sands hotel to see their pool, located on the 57th floor of the hotel.
Thanks in advance for your recommendations!
Transferring between Delta's C and D terminals at New York LaGuardia used to be inconvenient for passengers. Similar to United's shuttle service between Terminal 3 & Terminal 1 at SFO, or the bus from the C gates to the F gates at ORD, it required hauling your luggage up and down a series of steps, and walking onto the tarmac, which is not much fun if it is raining or snowing.
it's a pain to haul a bunch of ...
When it came time to purchase a ticket for my trip from Hong Kong to Tokyo, the two Star Alliance carriers that fly non-stop to Tokyo (ANA & United) had no award availability. I had about three months until my departure date, so I set several alerts on Expert Flyer, figuring that ANA or United would release just one seat!
Four weeks prior to my departure, I had not received any alerts from Expert Flyer, so I first checked for revenue tickets on both carriers, and then broadened my ...
