What I’ve Learned About Travel Blogging the Past Year
Hey everyone – I’m Steve. For those of you that haven’t noticed, there’s been another strange voice here at No Mas Coach for the past year. That’s not to say that any of us are completely “normal”.

How to Park in the UK – the JustPark App
Whenever we travel, we almost always rent a car. It is typically marginally more expensive or sometimes less expensive than round trip public transit and allows us the flexibility to take a bunch of side trips that public transit doesn’t allow. The problem that we run into for London is the cost to park at many hotels in the city. Luckily, I came across an app that has saved me hundreds of pounds when we visit. It’s called...

Austin American Airlines Admiral’s Club, Review
One of the great perks of the Citi AAdvantage Executive credit card is the lounge access that it provides to American Airlines Admiral’s Clubs. Without it, there are plenty of airports where we’d be without a lounge. The Austin Admiral’s Club offers a surprisingly large space to relax and recharge before your flights.

While credit cards are accepted now almost everywhere in the world, there’s often a need for cash when you’re traveling abroad. The problem that many travelers often run into is where to find said currency, especially without paying an arm and a leg to do so. I want to focus on both the before-the-trip aspect and during-the-trip aspect, since many people still feel that you MUST have money on you when you travel (hot tip...
Is Mobile Check-In Worthless?
Arguably one of the more potentially useful benefits of a hotel’s app is the option to do a mobile check-in. In theory, you should be able to avoid the lines, go straight to your room, and be on with your day. In reality, it’s a broken system that wastes more time than it gives and actually ends up limiting some of your benefits and guarantees that you would normally be afforded. What should Mobile Check-in Do? In a...
