New Nonstop São Paulo, Brazil to Los Angeles
June 11, 2008 | Written by ITKT Media Partner
Thank the great flight route maker in the sky. My trip to Brazil from Los Angeles was based on no direct flights out of Los Angeles, which added a good six hours and layover time in Miami to Brazil. So good news for Brazil fans in LA.

Landing in Thailand

2 hours at LAX
13 to Taipei
3 hours at Taipei Airport
4 hours to Bangkok
2 hours in Bangkok
1 hour to Phuket

28.5 hours later I can hardly think, but have arrived safe and sound in Khoa Lak and hour and a half outside of Phuket. It sounds far worse than it is and the food on EVA is pretty good.
While I have little distance to what I have seen... [Read more]

Much of it has been bad for the regular folk who love to travel: skyrocketing oil costs, the plummeting dollar, and the absurdity of over-reaching security measures at the airport have all hit all-time highs (all-time lows may be a better description).
Fortunately, there has been some good. There are more travel options than ever, people... [Read more]

March 11, 2008 | Written by Devin Galaudet
This week I had the pleasure of visiting the most shocking vacation spot I have seen in ages, San Juan, Puerto Rico. It’s shocking in a good way.

You’ve heard William Shatner pitch for them. You’ve no doubt seen the pop-up ads on websites or read about them in newspaper travel sections. I’m talking about the travel consolidators such as Expedia, Orbitz, or Hotwire. Be it for airplane fares, rental cars, or in this case hotel stays, they get access to unsold inventory and pass the savings on to you. For this trip I chose to try Hotwire.
