Living in a Glass House (Hotel Room)
Friday, January 30th, 2009A couple gets to stay at the luxurious Roger Smith Hotel, in NYC, free, for four days…

You Don’t Need To Check Your Luggage. Seriously.
Thursday, January 8th, 2009As you most likely already know, airlines are now charging for checked bags, overweight bags, oversized bags, well…just bags in general. The current TSA rules state that you can bring one carry-on and one personal item on the plane. For me this usually constitutes a medium sized backpack and a 21-inch carry-on. Most people still [...]

Avoiding the New Airline Fees
Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008The days of exceptional airline service are gone. You definitely won’t be drinking imported wines or eating full course meals. In fact, you will be lucky if you get a bag of pretzels and a glass of water. Herein lies the problem – most airlines already charge you for “normal” food, but [...]
