Copenhagen houses photo courtesy of Styg Nygaard. Back in February, we told you the most important facts that you need to know about trans-Atlantic budget airlines. However, we forgot to mention one important detail: the long layover. Norwegian Airlines is an infamously cheap option for traveling to continental Europe, but unless your final destination is…
There’s nothing better than traveling with a best friend, but when it comes to traveling with man’s best friend, things can get a bit trickier. How do you make sure they’re comfortable? Which countries can they go to? Are they safe? And to make things more complicated, airlines like Delta have recently changed their pet…
Photo by Yahoo Finance Canada via Flickr Considering longer-than-long security lines, baggage check fees, and prickly customer service, it can be hard to imagine that people once looked forward to flying.

With a few exceptions, most airport hotels are anonymous and dull, with little to offer beyond a convenient location for air transit passengers. However, there are certainly exceptions, from comfortable in-terminal properties with facilities on par with…
The first article of our layover series, here we show you how to make the most of a long layover in London. Over the next few weeks, look out for more installments on how to ace layovers in other awesome cities. With nearly every airline offering cheaper fares — in exchange for brutal tradeoffs like…
(Photo: Thinkstock/iStock) We’re convinced. There has to be some kind of manual out there that horrible, inconsiderate airline passengers study before they board a plane. We’ve published what we imagine their checklist looks like in the hopes that you’ll read it and know what not to do, or at least find some humor in the…
“In 2007 the U.S. started requiring passports (or an “enhanced driver’s license”) for travel to Mexico and Canada, and for cruise passengers, and issued a large lumber of passports with a 10-year validity (passports are only issued with a 10 year validity period),” George Hobica, founder and president of Airfarewatchdog.com, tells us. “Those passports are…
