Even if you have access to the fast track security lane at the airport you still need to go through security screening. If you work with the rules instead of against them then you’ll spend less time in line, though unfortunately you’ll still run the risk of getting stuck behind someone who hasn’t read any […]
A couple of months ago I was flying back from the US in economy. I knew that I was going to be uncomfortable and that getting any sleep on the 10+ hours of flights was going to be a challenge. While browsing one the shops at the airport I came across a travel pillow that […]

While some of the travel organisation services […]
Some people think that frequent travellers are fortunate and that their constant globe trekking is one endless holiday. Now don’t get me wrong, I enjoy travel. If I didn’t enjoy it I’d find ways to avoid it. Most of the “road warriors” I know have a love hate relationship with travel. Sure, travel means that […]
