Best Reward Options? So I travel frequently between DTW (home airport) BNA, and MCO. I was wondering if there was any particular airline that has frequent routes between those places that would be the best to stick to for earning miles/rewards or sign up for credit cards with?

They list it out as a 4 day trip with multiple stops on each day. I am assuming you have to find your own lodgings in each city (how hard would that be?) and also fly back from Wick to Inverness ? Any e…

Worst Travel Experience – Coughing Uncle Nightmare When I was traveling from Islamabad to Dubai, the uncle sitting behind me literally coughed for 3 hours straight, non-stop. It was relentless. The moment we landed, he magically stopped coughing like nothing had happened. I thought I was finally free, but no. I had a 2-hour transit before my next flight to Kuala Lumpur, and guess what? The same …
