Hi {{Name|Fellow Traveler}},

I hope you had a good week. Thank you for reading my work each week. I have some new readers, so welcome if you are one of them.

And thank you for your support of Passrider, today and every day! I can’t say that enough :-).

Happy Spring Solstice and Autumn Solstice if you’re in the southern hemisphere. I hope you had a good week and enjoyed this first day of Spring/Autumn.

I’ve been creating a few things for you I’d like to share; they are not quite fully ready, but I’d like you to try them out and give me some feedback:

  • Non-Rev Travel Planner (this is like picking my brain) - will be a part of Passrider Premium when complete

  • Airport FIDs - ever seen the FIDs at Frankfurt? This is the inspiration for this.

  • Aviation Destination Planner - I was trying to send this one, but it needs a little more testing first, so I will send it later today indeed… but here’s a screenshot. Thoughts?

I’m gonna send you an email tomorrow with some more stuff, watch out for it.

Growing up in the mountains of St. Elizabeth was interesting and challenging. Each evening after school, my grandmother would somehow get a full report on my day. It took me years to figure out how.

Turns out my principal passed my house every single day and briefed her on everything — while I was still outside or at school playing. If I was bad, I paid for it. I paid for it a few times 😄

That's small community life. Everybody knows everybody. Everybody looks out for everybody.

That same community is rebuilding right now after Hurricane Melissa — and thanks to you, we've raised $825 so far. Every dollar is going directly to the project to help St. Elizabeth.

We're not done. Help me push this further — link below.

Even $5 matters. Imagine if everyone reading this gave just that.

And please share with someone who loves Jamaica. 🇯🇲

Grandma always knew

The principal never missed

Pay for it I did 😄

March Madness 2026

Spring Break is her and so is March madness. Its those basketball games all over the country that contributes to full flights so you have issues boarding a flight. Well, here’s some information to help you navigate it all.

Your Retirement Savings Need to Outlast You

Most retirement plans underestimate two things: how long your savings need to last, and how quietly inflation erodes them along the way.

The 15-Minutes Retirement Plan helps you close both gaps with practical guidance on longevity risk, purchasing power, and building a financial plan that doesn't run out before you do.

If you have $1,000,000 or more saved, download your free guide to start.

✈️ Passrider Non-Rev Travel Tip of the Week

Don't Spring Break Is Here!

The flights are super packed plus the airport security lines are long.

Give yourself extra time to get to your flights as the delays are long especially in the early mornings. This does vary by airport so check the airport’s website for delay details.

Have backup plans for your journey. And then even more backup plans and be prepared to purchase a ticket if necessary.

Good luck the next three weeks or so as Easter is also rolling in.

My Caribbean and European Playbooks also has a ton of tips you can use.
