The Morning Shave

Expedia Group reports softening of travel demand in Q3.

The Summer of Travel seems to be over as households brace for a difficult election season and the potential for a recession. Aside from a short-term blip during COVID, the economy has been on the upswing for more than a decade. And it seems like consumers and finally running out of steam. Have you changed the way you’re traveling, or have your travel plans changed as we head into Fall or Winter?

American Express Announces Nearly 16,000-square-foot Centurion Lounge for Salt Lake City — What to Know.

It’s always a good day when new airport lounges are announced. This Amex lounge won’t open until 2025, but it will be an amazing option for people arriving for ski trips, business meetings or exploring local attractions (like the National Parks in Moab, Utah). The lounge will be in Concourse B and is scheduled to be 16,000 square feet with an outdoor terrace that’s open year-round.

Baseball Fan? This Hotel Is Unlike Any Other in North America.

If you’re a baseball fan, staying INSIDE the stadium has to be one of the ultimate experiences. Get your passport ready because this stadium is the home of the Toronto Blue Jays, so you’ll need to travel to Canada to enjoy the game from the comfort of your hotel room.

This is a Marriott Bonvoy property, so you can earn or redeem points on your stay.

She knew something was wrong when he sat near her kids. He was removed from the flight.

Whether you’re traveling with children, by yourself or with friends, always be aware of what’s going on around you. This is a scary situation that could have turned MUCH worse. And it is incomprehensible how this guy was able to board the plane and sit next to them without a proper boarding pass. If you notice something that seems off, don’t be afraid to speak to the flight attendants, counter staff or airport security.

European airline launches new ‘All You Can Fly’ pass — but it comes with several catches.

These all-you-can-fly passes seem like a great deal until you read the fine print. While you can still make them work, the restrictions, effort and stress may not be worth it after all. Unlimited flights on more than 950 routes for only $550 sounds like an amazing deal. However, when you learn that the airline charges a $10 fee per flight and frequently offers flights around double that price, spending $550 doesn’t seem so appealing.
