According to this article, the airlines are about to be hit - hard - by fuel prices and a host of other factors which have increased costs significantly. According to that report, fares may increase 30-40 percent before it’s all over.
What I don’t understand is why everybody is acting as though this is a surprise. […]
As those who read this blog know, I’ve just returned from a business trip to Europe, and have reached an interesting conclusion. The most dispensable item of business clothing is - the suit.
Over the course of ten days I visited a manufacturer of plastic and metal parts, an internet service provider, a small medical devices […]
Most people who travel regularly, but I have often checked luggage in the past so I’ve not had to worry about it. A complete list of items which are/are not permitted on overseas flights from the US can be found here.

I’m not even a frequent flyer (at least not in the true sense of the word) and I absolutely hate the whole plastic-baggy thing we’ve got going on.

I suspect everyone who reads this blog has at least heard of this book, but Kiss, Bow, or Shake Hands is definitely one of the most well-read books on doing international business around. Unfortunately, I have to admit that I’ve never read it. I have however, been at a seminar where one of the authors, […]
Security at airports is one of my pet peeves.
Today in Frankfurt: you have to pity the folks who forgot their max 100 ml containers in a clear, resealable bag. One traveller from Eastern Europe was carrying too much perfume. (When that stuff gets confiscated, do you really think they throw it out at night?) Another […]
There are a lot of travel sites out there, and I’m sure everybody has different opinions as to which are best. We’ll get into that discussion over time, but one site, Tripadvisor, has what the juvenile inside of me thinks is a really cool feature - a pushpin style map showing where you’ve been.
