Hyatt Place Boise, Hotel Review

Now that we live on the West Coast, taking quick trips on Alaska Airlines is an easy option for a weekend get away. While getting airline tickets is easy with miles or even cheap sales, one of the more expensive parts are the hotel stays. The Hyatt Place in downtown Boise is not only perfectly located for exploring the city, but depending on how you play it, you can stay here for next to nothing. Boise airport is located just a few...

Priority Pass Lounge Mexico City Airport Review

Mexico City airport has a few Priority pass lounges, and while the American Airlines Admiral’s club was fine, we thought we’d see about one of the other lounges. The Grand Lounge Elite sounds really awesome, right? I mean, it’s Grand, it’s Elite, and it’s a Lounge…must be the best! Well, it’s definitely a...

Knack Bags โ€“ Our New Favorite Work and Travel Bag

I’ll admit that during Covid, the idea of trying out a new bag, or adding a new travel bag to my arsenal, was the last thing on my mind. On the other hand, I’d become so accustomed to traveling with the same boring backpack for so many years, that I had not even considered looking at any other bags. We got turned on to this new company, Knack, and their line of bags designed to give you a...

There are two hotels right at the DFW airport that make transiting a breeze. One is directly connected to the Airport (the Grand Hyatt) and the other which is just a quick 5 minute drive or 10 minute walk away is the Hyatt Regency. Directly adjacent to Terminal C, getting to and from your flight is a breeze Airport Arrival The day was a blistering 108 degrees in Dallas, but once the sun went down it got a little bit cooler. As we...

American Airlines 737 MEX-DFW Review

Alaska Airlines Service and Catering during Covid-19

Each Airline is taking their Covid-19 situation slightly differently. Alaska Airlines seems to be taking it a step further, rolling out a “Next Level Care” operation that takes into account everything from cleaning to touch points in the airport.  Alaska Airlines’ policies on Covid will remain in effect until October 31st, but I imagine they’re going to be extended past that. An empty plane! Onboard...

American Airlines Snuck in Negative Changes to their Fee Waivers

Unless you were living under a rock for the past 36 hours, you’ve by now noticed that the three legacy carriers in the United States, American, Delta, and United, all eliminated the fee waivers for domestic flights for 2021 and beyond. While this was heralded as a huge win for customers, not all was perfect.  Delta and United still will charge you for International changes to Canada and Mexico, and American Airlines slipped...
