I’m warming up to JetBlue as an airline, mile earning be damned. They’re comfy, have good TV and will get you there. In that spirit, they have a March Madness themed sale.

Escaping Chicago When The Weather Sucks

We’re in the downslope of Chicago weather eventually leading to another lovely Chicago winter, where the weather will no doubt range from sucky to just plain horrible.

Thanksgiving Travel

Let’s face it – traveling for Thanksgiving sucks. And if you haven’t bought your tickets to get out of town for the holiday, then you need to do it now.
