Celebrating a birthday today...

In partnership with

Hi Fellow Traveler,

I hope you’re having a great week.

Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to read my words. It is appreciated!

If you’re new to the newsletter, welcome. If you’re a regular reader, thank you so much for reading my words each week :-).

A day tardy this week… But, today, I turn a day older :-). I’ve entered the age where I get even more travel discounts :-), as long as I request it. I’m now officially in the seniors category. 60 years of life, 45 years of traveling in an airplane. Exciting times.

I’m chilling somewhere as I type. I like quiet birthdays, so I’m either flying or doing absolutely mindless things. This drives my friends crazy!

How do you celebrate birthdays?

PARIS AIRSHOW-BOUND

I’m still scheduled for the Paris Airshow in mid-June. It’s always a great show. You can see my coverage of the Paris Airshow 2023 here.

If you’d like to donate to the effort, head over to this link. Plus, I’ll be sure to send you a complimentary electronic copy of my new upcoming book, tentatively called; From Boarding to Bizarre: The Most Unforgettable Airline Experiences from Flying 204 Airlines.

What’s been going on with you? Hit reply and let me know.

Passrider Travel Tip of the Week

Midweek Flights Are Your Summer Advantage

Now that summer travel is almost upon us and students are heading home, weekends will get slammed with leisure and family travel. If you're non-revving, your best bet is to aim for Tuesday or Wednesday flights, especially early in the morning or late at night. This is the norm anyways.

Why it works:

  • These flights tend to be less attractive to vacationers and families, meaning better seat availability.

  • Airport crowds are thinner midweek, making for a smoother overall experience.

  • You’ll have more backup options if your first flight doesn’t work out.

Pro tip: Don’t just look at final destinations—check connecting cities that are less popular this time of year for better odds.
