I want to give a quick update on what all is going on in the travel world today. We have continued to do some traveling so I’ll go over some of what we have experienced and some of the different things I have heard from others while traveling. The crowds are back Since the Spring break time flights have been pretty much completely booked. Its even more so now during the summer as there have been few flights we have been on that has any empty seats. With that the airports have become crowded as they had before the pandemic. With all the crowds I heavily recommend giving yourself plenty…

I want to give a word of warning and some travel advice related to what the current situation is in travel today. We have continued to travel in the past few months and have run into multiple delays and more flight cancellations than we have ever encountered in our travels. The situation with rental cars is also an issue. Flight Related Issues During the pandemic airlines reduced staff and retired some of their older aircraft. Now that travel has come roaring back (we can confirm that there are MANY more people traveling now than a few months ago) airlines are struggling to handle the load. There also has been a…

If you are like me I fly Southwest (I fly a variety of airlines) pretty often when I travel domestically. For some routes you will have to change planes and one of the Southwest Hubs you might fly through is Dallas Love Field. Dallas Love field is a really nice airport with some great places to eat and very modern and nice décor. Its also very easy to navigate the airport and they have great technology pointing you to your gate. There is an issue right now though when connecting through Dallas Love Field as we have encountered. Dallas Love Field usually has two runways they use but one is…

Donna and I recently took flights from Houston to Salt Lake City and then a Delta Connection flight to Grand Junction in Colorado. We found that Delta is going above and beyond to keep people as safe as possible and we were impressed with each step of the process. Like I always say during these times it is up to you to decide if you want to travel or go anywhere based on the risks but we found our experience to be safe and enjoyable. Check In: Like other airlines we have flown Delta requires everyone to wear masks while checking in at the counter and plexiglass shields help keep…

I know this is not really a travel post but I wanted to share our experience visiting the movie theater recently. We saw Tenet, New Mutants and Unhinged. We visited AMC Theaters where we used our A-List pass to see the movies. We found it very easy to social distance and felt very safe. In all reality we felt safer than when visiting some stores or restaurants (we generally do take out for safety reasons at the moment). Here is what we experienced while at the theater. As I always say this is what we have experienced and you could have a different experience Entry and ticket taking: We always…

Donna and I have traveled twice on Frontier during the Pandemic. We flew a round trip to Bismark, North Dakota and a round trip to Las Vegas, Nevada. The experience we had very good and we felt same on the flights. Like I always say it is up to you when you feel comfortable traveling or leaving your home in general but this is to be a guide so you can see what it might be like if you choose to travel on Frontier. Check in: At each airport they have marked 6 feet of distance at the check in counter and you are required to wear a mask while…

With the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic travel has drastically changed. There are travel restrictions all over the world and even quite a few between the different states in the US. At the airport things are also very different. The article today is about our recent experience June 5th to June 7th flying for the first time since mid March. We decided it was time to test the waters and try a short flight to Corpus Christi on Southwest Airlines. I write this article so you can see first hand what its currently like to travel now and give a little information on travel today. I am not encouraging you to travel…

If you are like me you yearn to be traveling after this long period of staying at home. As we do the right thing and halt travel for the time being you can of course take this time to read up about destinations you might want to visit once restrictions ease. There are also options you can use now that Donna and I use to continue earning miles and points for once we can travel again. Here are a few ways you can be earning point and miles while sitting at home. Some of these options have a cost and other items are completely free and only take your time.…

There has been a lot of talk about airline seats and putting in as many seats as possible with shrinking legroom. While that is the norm these possible new seats that just came out actually look pretty cool. Check it out! https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/airbus-new-economy-seat-prototype/index.html
