Maybe. The European Union — over 30 countries — says upcoming fall travel might be “iffy” from the US because of the COVID “Delta” variant — check individual destination requirements — and in-transit stops — before booking — more “ups and downs” in this most challenging travel year ….. travel to Europe from the US down this year from 36 million to 6 million …..mask up — travel safe !!!!
Yup— no travel from Europe into the US until Thanksgiving — maybe longer — frustrating but COVID safety first!!!
Yup, just this year so far — most are for mask incidents both on and off the plane —with over half of these passengers refusing to wear a mask — PLEASE — MASK UP!!!
Yup, starting next month TAILWIND seaplane service will start flying between Boston and New York. Fares will range between $395 and $795 for the 90-minute flights on 8 passenger Cessnas. Miss the major airport hassles and enjoy the scenery!!!!
Jet Blue — Southwest — American!!!
You might be in for a BIG price surprise on your next Uber ride — seems a lack of drivers is giving the once popular “inexpensive “ ride share innovator the opportunity to up-up-up prices — substantially! Recent 20 minute ride from SFO to downtown San Francisco — cost unsuspecting riders $160 — not many options unless you can share the ride — and high priced rental cars aren’t currently an option!!!
Check the fine print — and spending requirements the for the first 5 months of use — could be a good deal if you use Hilton a lot or can transfer the Hilton points for airlines miles ????
Yup — the federal government is now telling airlines that if a passenger’s bag is delayed 10 hours or more (25 hours for international flights) the passengers bag fees MUST be refunded. Bag fees are now “big $$$’s revenue” for airlines!!!!
That’s big news from Steves —who pretty much has written off this year. Steve’s says more than 80% of his 2022 programs — over 1100 departures — representing more than 25,000 travelers — has already sold out!!! Seems everyone wants to get out of town!!!
Airline fuel supply and delivery — especially in the western US where massive wildfires blaze — is in short supply. Not enough fuel delivery tanker drivers and some supplies being diverted to fuel airplanes dropping water on at least 15 big out of control fires!!!! US carriers, enjoying large traffic increases, can’t seem to get a break these days!!!!
