I love this airport. I have been here for more than 5 times and they were excellent every single time. I lost my ID once and they return it to me by mailing it. I was very happy with this result. The place is nice and cleaning with great foods and big parking lots. The guest service is great too. I just had one problem and that is when my brother's lost bag was turned in with $200 in it. Th...

Last month my family stayed at a Country Inn and Suites for the first time- and we are so glad we did!  We had booked the hotel online for a "park and fly" rate, because we were flying out of the nearby Baltimore Airport very early the next morning.  With the park and fly rate, you pay for one night lodging, and you get up to 10 nights free parking at the hotel during your t...

My husband and I recently went on vacation and had to drive ourselves to the airport. We were leaving out of Detroit, Michigan and wanted to stay somewhere close to the airport so they could shuttle us over to the airport in the early hours of the morning. I wasn't as concerned about the hotel room as much as I was how secure the parking was and how much it would cost. I started looking aro...

Airport Mania:  First Flight puts you in the air traffic controller's seat.  You get to bring planes in and out of an airport, have repairs made to them when needed, gas them up, etc.  You must keep on schedule and also keep all passengers happy.Airport Mania is a cute game.  The planes have little faces on them, and that would appeal to the kids.  But let's fac...

When I fly out of Detroit Metro Airport, always drive to Michigan the night before and stay at La Quinta Inn in Romulus, Michigan.  It is very convenient to stay at the hotel and relax before my flight.  I really enjoy staying there.  The staff are very friendly. The rooms are spacious and clean.  I have a mini refrigerator and a microwave in my room.&nbs...

The lobby of this hotel is quite nice, and service at check-in was cordial and efficient. We got a great price on Priceline and was able to get a 2-queen, non-smoking adjoing rooms without problem. Our room had a great view of the airport which was very nice. It  was large enough for my four family members and I. The beds were extremely comfortable, clean and without bedbugs! I often find ...

We spent four nights here in June for a convention in L.A.. We actually booked the room through Priceline for $60 a night, which was a great deal! The hotel has been very recently renovated, and  it is indeed “surprisingly cool”! There’s a Starbucks in the lobby, which is very convenient for that early morning caffeine fix. Not only was I blown away by the service and peo...

The last time we took a vacation, we decided to do a park and fly near the st. louis airport.  Yes, we only live 90 minutes away, but when you're catching a 6am flight, it's nice to be right there. We chose the St. Louis Airport Marriott because they have a special deal with apple vacations.  One night hotel and up to 14 days parking for $80.  You do have to show you...

Normally when we vacation to Orlando, we rent a car at the Orlando International Airport.  Most of the time, we don't have a preference for one company; there are numerous on-site car rental companies, and they are all located beside one another, so we usually choose whichever company can give us the lowest rate.This particular decision backfired on us this time.  In the past, we ...

I thought that the airport car seat bag is a great idea.  It helps to keep your babies car seat clean and dirt free when you check it in at that airport.  It also makes it very easy to spot when it comes down the conveyer belt since it happens to be bright red.  I would recommend that you still put your name on the bag in bold black letters since other parents may have also purch...

As anyone who drives in Boston knows, traffic is a nightmare. If you are headed for Logan Airport, you are usually stressed due to the amount of traffic and possible delays. For those with these issues, Logan Express is for you.Having lived outside of Boston for several years, I had made the trip back and forth to Logan many times. I refused to drive it myself, having my husband do it instead. ...

We stayed at the Midway Airport Fairfield prior to our flight to Walt Disney World. The location is great, we were less than 10 minuets to the airport for our early morning flight. The check-in was fast and the staff was very accommodating for our 2 rooms request and location of the rooms. We hotel was neat and clean, looked very up to date. Across the parking lot was a TGI Fridays, so we walke...

This year for Christmas, instead of my husband and myself buying gifts for eachother - we decided to treat eachother to a night TOGETHER!  Having a hectic and busy job (him) and myself being a stay-at-home-mama to our 22 month old, we thought it would be nice to get away for a night and spend some quality time together.   As it was Christmas time, our funds were on the low side (...

Hertz has become my favorite rent a car company. The reason for that is because of their services and wide range of cars. I booked my reservation online and when I arrived I got the exact vehicle that I expected. Also I got the Hertz rewards card which is really beneficial. I can get many perks when I am doing other stuff like booking a hotel or booking a flight. One thing that really surprised...

My family of three flew on Southwest Airlines for the first time last December.  We flew out of Baltimore, MD and traveled to Orlando International Airport in Florida.  We were scheduled for a 9:00 pm flight on a Thursday night, which was the last flight leaving from Baltimore that night.  We arrived early, then moved very quickly through security.  We were waiting at the te...

I love to travel! I have flown on many carriers, but I hadn't experienced a flight on British Airways until this last July. My husband and I flew from Seattle, Washington to London, England where we changed planes and traveled on to our final destination of Edinburgh, Scotland.I will try to share the good, the bad, and the ugly.First, the boarding process went very smoothly on eac...

Can me a weary traveler. I've flown on a whole lot of airlines, but I always seem to come back to Alaska Air. The reason why is because of service.I've never had a bag lost with Alaska, I've never had a rough experience or snotty attendant. I always seem to find that I am treated as a customer, not as cattle.Alaska's main hub that I fly into is Sea-Tac (Seattle) and it seems to ...

Southwest Airlines gives you the cheapest fares, but at what price? I've flown with Southwest twice, and it was okay, but as they say, this is a no-frills airline.I found that the fares were the best by around $100, but I also know now that flying with Southwest means you get a whole bunch of like-minded other budget travelers, and sometimes being stuck on full flights with loud families wi...

OK, are you an amateur or professional traveler?  If don't have a membership in an airline club, you are either an amateur OR you are crazy!!! The major airlines have club lounges at popular airports for their most loyal customers and those that have paid for memberships.  This is a MUST for a business traveler that spends his/her entire week in airports.  Generally, these cl...

This was my first international flight with Scandinavian Airlines. I flew from Chicago to Stockholm, and then from Stockholm to Moscow, Russia. These two international flights were very different; I enjoyed the first, but the latter was not very pleasant. The long flight to Stockholm had much more to offer: free snacks, drinks (a choice of tea, coffee, pop, several kinds of juice, and wine), a ...
