Do you have a hotel you are so familiar with it feels like a second home?  With my many stays in the last few years at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport, it has become my west coast home.

 

My company has an office on the San Francisco peninsula relatively close to the airport, and we get a decent corporate rate at the Hyatt, along with a few other places.  Based on my preferences I opt for the Hyatt vs Embassy Suites, Hilton Garden Inn or other ...

My trip to Philadelphia last night was not as smooth as I had hoped it would be:

San Francisco International is a great airport and I enjoy connecting through it, but when the fog and wind roll in, expect delays. Throw in some construction and those short delays that are erased once airborne turn into marathon delays that disrupt whole days. Like mine, today.

Under federal directive, SFO is updating its runways and for the next three ...

With a delay in opening the remodeled E-Concourse at SFO, United Airlines is stuck using several gates in Terminal 1 in addition to its main operation in Terminal 3 and the International Terminal.

Today was the opening day of the new Terminal 2 United lounge at Chicago O'Hare International airport (ORD), and I had the privilege of testing it out.

United claims that the new design will be a prototype for future lounges, as the carrier is investing $50 million in its global lounge renovations this year. United is also investing $550 million in its in-flight product enhancements, including lie-flat seats and wi-fi connectivity, as well as remodeling jet bridges at ...

Although I am moving back to Kansas on Friday, for my senior year!, I am excited that I was able to fit the inaugural SFO>RDU>SFO flights into my schedule. This is the first time that United has added service to Raleigh-Durham, since eliminating the Raleigh-Denver non-stop 737-500 service in early 2008.

Delta offers a non-stop flight to Los Angeles, although it is only offered three times per week, and run seasonally. I am hoping that with United's strong network to Asia from ...
