More than 120,000 passengers have been in some way impacted by the recent drone incident at London’s Gatwick Airport (LGW). The sightings, which closed the United Kingdom’s second busiest airport for more than 30 hours from late Wednesday evening until Friday morning and again for an hour Friday evening, are believed to have been intentional. Intentional ...

Discover Is More Widely Accepted Than You Might Think

By Mike Cetera on Dec 21, 2018 08:00 pm
To paraphrase another issuer’s old tagline: Discover card, don’t leave the US with it. At least, that’s been the knock on Discover, even as it promotes no foreign transaction fees on cards like the Discover it® Miles. That benefit does little good if no foreign merchant will accept the card. But the reality is that ...

Best Luggage for Kids Who Travel

By Joanne Cleaver on Dec 21, 2018 07:00 pm
Having, or not having, the right luggage on a family trip can make a significant difference, especially if your family travels frequently, or on itineraries that involve multiple transitions.

By Jessica Puckett on Dec 21, 2018 06:30 pm
A drone operator — or perhaps multiple — has been wreaking havoc on London Gatwick Airport (LGW) for the past three days by flying drones in LGW’s airspace, forcing the busy airport to shutdown for days on end during the holiday travel season.

Cool-Headed Service: Delta on a 767-400ER in Economy From San Francisco to New York

By Brendan Dorsey on Dec 21, 2018 06:00 pm
Transcontinental routes have become a big money maker for US airlines, especially since they’re so premium cabin-heavy. I’m one of those flyers who contributes to that, since I fly back and forth between New York and California about five times a year. I normally fly Alaska Airlines between the two coasts and hold MVP elite ...

The Ultimate Guide to Priority Pass Lounges and Restaurants at JFK

By Mark Spivak on Dec 21, 2018 05:00 pm
Seasoned road warriors value lounge access above many other perks of travel.

The Chase Ink Card Showdown: Cash vs. Preferred vs. Unlimited

By Jason Steele on Dec 21, 2018 04:36 pm
I’ve always been a big fan of the Chase Ink small business cards. It’s great that they offer Ultimate Rewards points that I can combine with my personal cards, such as the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card, Chase Sapphire Reserve, Chase Freedom and Chase Freedom Unlimited. And I especially love the chance to earn 3x or even 5x points ...
