Hi Fellow Traveler,
Happy Valentine’s Day if you celebrate.
If you’re new to the newsletter, welcome. If you’re a regular reader, thank you so much for reading my words each week :-).
I’ve returned from my trip to Dublin and despite the cold and rainy weather, it was a good trip.

Passrider Travel Tip of the Week
Position Yourself Closer to a Major Hub for Better Options
If you’re struggling to find seats on a flight from a smaller airport, consider positioning yourself at a major hub where your airline has more frequent departures. Major hubs like LHR, JFK, ATL, ORD, SFO, ATL, LAX, SEA, AMS, and FRA offer multiple daily flights, increasing your chances of finding an open seat.
For example, if you're in Manchester (MAN) and flights to the U.S. are full, repositioning to London Heathrow (LHR) could give you more flight options. Use trains, regional flights, or even buses to reach a hub where your airline has more capacity.
This strategy keeps you in control and increases your flexibility when flying non-rev!
That’s all I got for this week. See you next week. Here’s a new video for you too:
