The One Thing You Need to Add into Your Phone Before Traveling Abroad.
While smartphones enable us to walk around with a professional-quality camera, GPS, computer, etc. multi-function device, we can’t forget its primary function — making phone calls. And when you’re traveling abroad, calling 9-1-1 won’t get you emergency services like it does in the U.S. This article shares the emergency numbers you need when traveling internationally.
Flight Attendant Injured After Spirit Airlines Flight Hit By Gunfire as it Tries to Land in Haiti.
Many of us in the travel world love to make fun of Spirit Airlines and how rowdy it can get in-flight. But this is a serious situation, and I’m glad that nobody was seriously injured. Haiti has suffered through serious turmoil in recent history, and it isn’t the safest destination at this time. The situation is so dangerous that Spirit is actually canceling service to Haiti for the immediate future to keep its planes, staff, and passengers safe.
Apple AirTag Users Will Soon Be Able to Share Lost Baggage Locations Directly With 15 Major Airlines, Including Delta, United and British Airways.
Apple AirTags have been such a useful tool for keeping an eye on our valuables while traveling – luggage, kids’ backpacks, and even the kids themselves. As the technology has grown, new features have become available. Apple now allows users to share information with an impressive list of airlines so that they can more easily track down lost or delayed baggage. I love that this feature is available… but I hope that I never have to use it! If you want to buy some AirTags, grab some using my affiliate link to support my site.
Airbnb Is Giving 32 People the Chance to Visit the Colosseum After Hours to Watch a Gladiator Fight — How to Enter.
Although I don’t use vacation rentals very often, I love it when they offer unique experiences that you cannot get from a hotel. To me, that’s the best way to book a vacation rental from Airbnb or Vrbo. With this promo, you can visit the Colosseum in Rome after hours for free to watch a real-life gladiator fight… although I’m pretty sure it won’t be to the death like they used to do. If you’re visiting Rome sometime, listen to my podcast interview with Erica about the best things to do in Rome.
Marriott Starts to Lay Off Corporate Employees.
Ouch! It seems like some of these corporate employees are getting “Bonvoyed” right before the holidays. Instead of spreading Christmas joy, Marriott is turning into the Grinch Who Stole Christmas (affiliate link). Ok, enough joking around. It’s never a good sign when corporations start laying off workers. When this happens, the Execs are trying to squeeze extra profits because they don’t think that investing in their business will generate a higher return.
