How To Survive Jet Lag!

PD*28215206

If you are an avid traveler, there are a ton of different things that you have to deal with.  To be perfectly honest, if you travel a lot out of the country or at least out of the time zone that you are used to, you probably have a very hard time dealing with jet lag – however, I have some tips and tricks to help you deal with it!

For one, you want to make sure that you drink plenty of water!  You all know that the airplanes are very, very dry and you want to keep the water coming.  it is honestly even in a good idea to bring a small spray bottle of water to keep your skin hydrated, especially when you are on a long flight.

You also want to avoid drinking alcohol, as that can certainly weigh you down and can definitely hurt you more than help you.

Kevin Smith — Booted From A Southwest Flight … What?

kevin smithOkay, so this is something that outrages me, this weekend – this particular weekend, Kevin Smith.  Kevin friggin’ smith actually got kicked off of a Southwest flight because they said that he was too fat to fly.  Is that true?  Is he really too fat to fly?  Even though he could lower the armrests all the way down and buckle his seatbelt all the way down, they still kicked him off of the flight.

Of course, Kevin Smith took offense to this and he of course – of, friggin’, course he tweeted about it and that, alone caused a lot of outraged fans, which of course made Southwest look bad.

Although the airline apologized, I still think that I will not be flying on Southwest … ever.

Wi-Fi On The Plane? Free? Check It Out!

Google Free Wi-Fi 12_09Although this particular picture might not be the prettiest thing in the world, Kayak.com and their blog have reported that finally – they have found WiFi – for free on a flight!  They took a flight from Washington DC to SFO and it was a Virgin American flight – which is the best airline in the world of course.

Usually, when you are in the airport, you have free Wi-Fi, but I can tell you for sure that on the plane, you usually do not have free Wi-Fi, until now.  Virgin Airlines is the first airline to actually get Wi-Fi and I can tell you for sure that it is awesome.

Whether you just want to update your Facebook status or you are looking to check your e-mail – having on-flight internet is awesome!

A quick guide to airline bereavement fares

untitled

When it comes to flying for a funeral, I can tell you that there are many things that are probably going through your mind and the last thing that you want to think about is the price of airfare.  The unexpected happens and I can tell you that when you are already going through a troubled time, just getting home is something that you want to be doing.  Well, the airlines understand that and I can tell you that they are actually offering up bereavement fares nowadays.

What you can expect is that you will have to discuss your current situation with the airline though, most of them are more than willing to help you but you want to make sure that they know exactly why you are flying so that they can make it as painless and as easy as possible.
A lot of the time, you can actually find yourself a cheaper airfare if you let them know that you are flying for bereavement.
