I am booking flights home for Christmas and the by far and away best deal is to fly a direct flight with Frontier airlines (PHX -> PDX). Is Frontier truly worth avoiding at all costs or is it decent for a direct flight? Hey all, I am looking at booking a flight with Frontier airlines for a December flight home and I found a scorching good deal for $78 one way (with a carry-on bag included). Is it truly worth avoiding Frontier at all costs and spending the extra $75 or so to fly with United or American or something? Keep in mind, I am a college student so I try …

Traveling through airports with kids (>3) is amazing. Historically my air travel was vacation with spouse or business. Lifetime miles pre kids was probably low couple hundred thousands. Once my kids could walk at a decent speed – 3, maybe 4, airports became a blast. They have so much fun. We usually go find a vacant (always!) escalator and run up in backwards. They are always making up games to pl…

An American’s experience in Cuba American’s experience in Cuba Hi all – just returned from my trip to Cuba, not sure if it’s of interest to anyone but I made a report.

Non-white travellers, do you feel you sometimes get treated better on your travels in certain countries if you travel with white friends/companions? I’m a young, non-white guy, but have lots of white friends and dated a white girl for a few years.

Restaura…
