#Top Airline travel Ratings

Getting started

During the first successful airplane flight in 1903, Orville Wright had to lie on top of a wing, next to the motor, in the open air. He might feel right at home on many of today's airliners. Though pilots and passengers now get to ride inside the plane, comfort remains a sore point, according to a survey by the Consumer Reports National Research Center.

More than 16,000 readers told us about their experiences on 31,732 domestic round-trip flights in the previous 12 months. Seven of the 11 airlines they rated received below average scores for seating comfort.

Other quality-of-flight measures also got low marks from readers who flew on lower-rated airlines, including cabin-crew service, cleanliness, and in-flight entertainment. The proliferation of added fees further contributes to passengers' low opinion of today's flying experience.

But some carriers have done a better job than others, as evidenced by a wi ... Read more »

#Packing-Planning Stage - One Bag, One World

I always suggest that everyone makes a packing list.  It should include everything you need for a trip lasting anywhere from 2-4 days. I personally plan for 3. And that s all you need to take regardless of how long the trip lasts.

If the trip is for longer than the 2-4 days, you do some laundry, replenish toiletries, and you can go forever.

As for packing lists, well, no two  are the same. They are as individual as fingerprints.  I make new packing lists for every trip depending on where I m going, what I m planning to do, the weather, etc.  I have a core list I start with and build from there.

Feel free to share your packing lists in the Packing List section of the Reader s Forum

One little suggestion: If you re going on an extended trip, travel can get very stressful. Take something along with you that will help to make you feel more at home or relaxed when the stress gets to you.

As an example, I ... Read more »

#Planning a trip to Australia.

We've compiled the practical travel information you need, including visas, customs, duty-free shopping, and insurance.

Flights

Many airlines fly to Australia and prices vary considerably, so it pays to shop around for a flight. Consider the length of the flight and any mandatory stopovers. Start by contacting the major airlines or your local Aussie Specialist travel agent.

Airport transfer

All of Australia's international airports have regular public transport such as bus, train and taxi connections and private transfers with the city centres. Shuttle buses are also available and provide transfers to accommodation.

Cruise

Many international cruise ships visit Australia's cities, and there are opportunities to take tours and rejoin the ship or stay longer and fly back home. Most cruise ships visit Australian shores during the summer months.

Visas

#Top Five Reasons Why You Need a Travel Agent

Top Five Reasons Why You Need a Travel Agent

Why would you need a travel agent when everything is out there in the Internet just waiting to be Googled? Well, here’s something I experienced first-hand not too long ago that convinced me that, hello, just because I have a computer doesn’t mean I can find and book all my trips by myself—even one I thought was going to be an easy breezy one.

My mother and her husband live in Mexico, but he spends part of the year in Puerto Rico to visit family. A few weeks ago they called me to book a flight to San Juan with the same departure dates for both of them, but different return dates and, on top of that, they wanted to put them on separate credit cards. OK, sure, I can do that, right?

Well, not really, at least not if they wanted to be on the same return flight and sitting next to each other.

Why the issue? Booking separately under different cards with differ ... Read more »

#Las Vegas Travel Guide

Credit.

Thomas Loof

Forget, for a moment, about all the money you could win (or lose) at the casinos in Las Vegas, or the serious coin that can be dropped in the high-end shops, celebrity-chef eateries, and penthouse suites along the Strip. The primary industry of Las Vegas is sensory overload. When you travel to Las Vegas, the lights, the sounds, and the exotic parade of people, all coming to soak up the vibes of legendary Sin City, are a feast all their own. But this desert city, which blossomed with the construction of the nearby Hoover Dam, also has plenty of history (here, Elvis impersonators also count as history) as well as bargains, especially if you wander off the Strip and into the Fremont Street Experience in the old downtown.

Things Not To Miss in Las Vegas

• Taking in a show, such as the ongoing selection of Cirque de Soleil productions

• Visiting the Bellagio Fountains

• Walking the Strip

#Gulliver - s Travels Trailer #2

Electric Dynamite and 20th Century Fox have released an official movie trailer for the upcoming live-action family adventure film Gulliver’s Travels. which is directed by Rob Letterman and based on the 18th-century novel of the same name by Jonathan Swift .

Gulliver’s Travels plot synopsis:

In a contemporary re–imagining of the classic tale, Jack Black stars as Gulliver, a big–talking mailroom clerk who, after he’s mistakenly assigned a travel piece on the Bermuda Triangle, suddenly finds himself a giant among men when he washes ashore on the hidden island of Lilliput, home to a population of very tiny people. At first enslaved by the diminutive and industrious Liliputians, and later declared their hero, Gulliver comes to learn that it’s how big you are on the inside that counts.

The film stars Emily Blunt (Charlie Wilson’s War, The Wolfman), ... Read more »

#John Boehner to travel to Israel to meet with Netanyahu

House Speaker John Boehner will head to Israel at the end of the month.

The trip, though planned a few weeks ago, has not yet been publicly announced. The Ohio Republican will head to Israel on March 31, heading a delegation of Republican lawmakers, senior Israeli officials told Haaretz Friday .

According to officials, the final terms of the visit were agreed upon during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's trip to the U.S. earlier in the month to address Congress on the threat of a nuclear Iran.

Boehner's trip may or may not cause new drama — as Boehner was who invited Netanyahu to speak to Congress on March 3. Boehner explicitly invited the prime minister without communicating the plans with the White House, something that upset both President Obama and num ... Read more »

    #Gulliver s Travels Summary

    How It All Goes Down

    Lemuel Gulliver is a married surgeon from Nottinghamshire, England, who has a taste for traveling. He heads out on a fateful voyage to the South Seas when he gets caught in a storm and washed up on an island. This island, Lilliput, has a population of tiny people about 6 inches tall. They capture Gulliver as he sleeps and carry him to their capital city, where they keep him chained inside a large abandoned temple outside the city walls.

    Gulliver becomes a great friend of the Emperor of Lilliput, who introduces Gulliver to many of their customs. For example, instead of staffing his cabinet with capable administrators, the Emperor chooses guys who perform best at a dangerous kind of rope dancing. The Emperor asks Gulliver to help him in his war against Blefuscu, a similarly tiny kingdom across a channel of water. Gulliver agrees and uses his huge size to capture all of Blefuscu's navy.

    #Health in Belize - Lonely Planet

    Travelers to Central America need to be concerned about food- and mosquito-borne infections. While most infections are not life-threatening, they can certainly ruin your trip. Besides getting the proper vaccinations, it's important that you pack a good insect repellent and exercise great care in what you eat and drink.

    Medical Checklist

    It is a very good idea to carry a medical and first-aid kit with you, in case of minor illness or injury:

  • antibiotics
  • antidiarrheal drugs (eg loperamide)
  • thermometer
  • pocketknife
  • insect repellent containing DEET for the skin
  • iodine tablets (for water purification)
  • syringes and sterile needles

    Bring medications in their original containers, clearly labeled. A signed, dated letter from your physician describing all medical conditions and medications, including generic names, is also a good idea. If carrying syri ... Read more »

    #International Pet Travel Quarantine Will my pet be quarantined?

    The countries of the world have been divided into three classifications that relate to rabies: rabies-free countries, rabies-controlled countries and high-rabies countries. Before your pet travels internationally, it is important that you know the rabies classification of your pet's originating country as well as the rabies classification of its destination country. If your pet has layovers on its trip longer than 2 hours or you are changing airlines, you need to be aware of quarantine requirements of countries in which you must clear customs.

    Travel to and from Countries with Same and Different Classifications:

    From a RABIES-FREE COUNTRY to a ANY OTHER COUNTRY (except certain other RABIES-FREE COUNTRIES):

    #Determining an RV s Fair Market Value

    by Charlie Kerekes, 5/26/2005

    Whether buying a new or used RV. the exercise of determining the fair market value (FMV) is well worth the effort to avoid over-paying. Each transaction has a seller and a buyer with opposing financial goals this article provides information to help the buyer minimize the cost while allowing a reasonable profit for the seller.

    For the most accurate FMV, use as many of the techniques described in this article as possible. Allow variance in the FMV for condition, options, mileage, upgrades, number of available units, etc.

    NEW RV FMV

    Fair market value for a new RV is derived by adding an acceptable margin of profit to the dealer's invoice price. Unless you have inside knowledge of the RV industry, the invoice price may be difficult to attain. Another way to determine FMV is by examining what other buyers have paid.

    Sublime Nature

    The globe's second-biggest country has an endless variety of landscapes. Sky-high mountains, glinting glaciers, spectral rainforests and remote beaches are all here, spread across six times zones. It's the backdrop for plenty of ah -inspiring moments – and for a big provincial menagerie. That's big as in polar bears, grizzly bears, whales and, everyone's favorite, moose.

    The terrain also makes for a fantastic playground. Whether it's snowboarding Whistler's mountains, surfing Nova Scotia's swells or kayaking the white-frothed South Nahanni River in the Northwest Territories, adventures abound. There are gentler options, too, like strolling Vancouver's Stanley Park or swimming off Prince Edward Island's pink-sand beaches.

    Iwan Baan/Courtesy of the ICA/Boston

    America’s most intimate metropolis, or its biggest small town? Either way, Boston is a charming and classic New England city. It’s home to one of the largest Irish communities in the US, approximately 250,000 college students (one of Boston’s nicknames is “The Athens of America”), and a handful of major league sports teams including the 8-time World Series Champions, the Boston Red Sox. Boston’s narrow streets and brick buildings give it a more European air than many American cities have, though it also has its share of modern steel-and-glass skyscrapers. There’s another European-style innovation, too, in the form of Hubway, the rent-a-bike scheme that’s reminiscent of similar programs in Holland and France. Boston is one of the oldest cities in America. Puritan colonists settled there in 1630. As the capital of Massachusetts, Boston has seen a great deal of historical events, such as the Boston Mass ...

    Understand [ edit ]

    There are two possibles meanings of Cancun. according to the Mayan language, the first translation is "nest of snakes or pot." The second version (and less accepted) is "place of the gold snake".

    Papaya tree

    Resting on the northeast corner of the Mexican Caribbean, Cancun was built on a site selected as the ideal spot for a new tourist development by the Mexican federal government. The state of Quintana Roo was still a federal territory and the area had few inhabitants when construction started in 1970. It is composed of fourteen miles of pristine white beaches shaped like a number "7", home of the Mayan archaeological wonders, turquoise seas, a bountiful underwater world, and world-class vacation amenities. It is still considered the gateway to the Mayan World (El Mundo Maya ). Mayan temples and ritual sites are everywhere, some smothered by lush jungle, others easily accessible.

    #Four Airlines to Add a Fee for Booking with Online Travel Agencies - Blog

    Over the years, airlines have tried everything to force consumers to book directly with their own websites rather than through online travel agencies and fare aggregators such as Expedia, Priceline and Kayak. They do this, quite simply, to avoid paying fees associated with listing and selling their fares through online and "bricks-and-mortar" travel agencies, and it also helps them sell products and services such as extra-legroom seats, credit cards, frequent flyer programs, and so on, that cannot be peddled elsewhere.

    First they tried the bonus frequent flyer mile route. You'd get 500 extra miles on some airlines for a direct booking.

    They've also tried offering promo code incentives —20% or $50 or $24 or $200 off a fare if you book directly using a promo code (used often by Frontier Airlines and Spirit, but even Qatar, Air New Zealand, JetBlue, and others). This cuts into revenue, however, s ... Read more »

    With one foot planted in the Central American jungles and the other dipped in the Caribbean Sea, Belize combines the best of both worlds.

    Why I Love Belize

    By Joshua Samuel Brown, Author

    With its Spanish-speaking neighbors to the south and west and the laid-back Caribbean to the east, Central America's youngest nation offers a cultural mélange – including Maya, mestizo. Garifuna, Creole, Mennonite and more – unrivaled in Central America. Belize is home to verdant jungles, from the Maya Mountains in the southwest to the Shipstern Nature Reserve in the northeast, not to mention ancient ruins, remnants of bygone days as part of the greater Maya kingdom. Then there are the beaches, miles of white sand and blue sea dotted with a nigh-uncountable number of islands big and small. So what's not to love?
