We've seen many airlines around the world suspend operations in recent months, and all business class airline La Compagnie was among them. I wanted to provide an update on the airline, since this doesn't seem like an ideal time to be running an airline…
We'll be having our weekly OMAAT virtual happy hour this evening at 6:30PM Eastern (just follow this link and you can be reminded when we go live) and hope you guys can join us. In addition to taking questions, this evening we'll be talking about the…
A few months ago demand for air travel began to plummet, as we've seen airlines cut capacity unlike ever before. During that time I've been keeping an eye on passenger numbers, as it's interesting to see how demand is evolving. The pace at which travel…
As I first wrote about several days ago, it looks like Americans will be banned from entering the European Union for quite some time, even when external borders reopen. This shouldn't come as much of a surprise, given how the coronavirus situation has…
If newly introduced legislation is passed, the US government (aka taxpayers) could be footing the bill for your next vacation. The tourism industry is obviously suffering, and I recently wrote about how the Trump Administration proposed a new travel…
We're seeing countries around the world announce new entry requirements, and in many cases these are evolving by the day. The Maldives has today shared the exact date when they'll again welcome tourists, with limited restrictions on visitors. The Maldives'…

It goes without saying that hotel protocols have changed as a result of coronavirus. One of the things I was curious to observe during my trip was how hotels have adjusted their breakfast offerings, especially at limited service hotels that have free…
Ford and I have been on our current trip for a few days now, and it has really surprised us. We are doing a road trip (after flying to Las Vegas), enjoying the great outdoors, and we're driving through Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and Colorado. The scenery…
The past few days of travel has been so incredibly eye-opening for me. I want to start talking about our actual road trip, but there's so much to cover first when it comes to flights and hotel stays (which is ultimately the focus of the blog). I've stayed…
On Wednesday I flew American Airlines first class from Miami to Las Vegas, which was a roughly five hour flight. I've been curious to see firsthand how onboard service has been adjusted as a result of the current pandemic, and wanted to report back on…
Wearing face coverings on planes has become a shockingly controversial topic. At this point most US airlines require passengers to wear face masks, and some have even promised to step up enforcement. What some people don't realize is that there's one…
