Hi {{Name|Fellow Traveler}},

I hope you had a good week. Thank you for reading my work each week.

It’s been a crazy week as I spent it putting the final touches on the Asia Playbook, which I finally launched last night. Hence why this week’s newsletter is tardy. So sorry. But…

To make it up to you, I’ve posted a page from the Asia Playbook about Hong Kong. This way, you get an idea of what’s in the Playbook, and you can use this information the next time you are thinking of heading to Hong Kong. My goal is to make you have an amazing time when you travel. So, head over to https://www.passrider.com/hkg-non-rev-playbook/. There is nothing like this on the market!

There is a bit of a lull in travel now until the end of May. So it’s time to take advantage of that and go somewhere.

Where will you go?

Imagine a vacation that’s not only transformative for you but helps open doors for the local women you meet along the way. That’s what Intrepid’s new Women’s Expeditions in Peru, Cambodia and Bhutan are all about.

Designed specifically for women travellers, these trips offer immersive local experiences that support women-run and owned businesses in each destination. With an expert local leader out front, you could trek the lesser-known Chinchero to Urquillos route in the Peruvian Andes alongside an all-female crew, dive into Cambodia’s street food scene on a women-run tuk tuk tour, or unwind with a traditional herbal hot stone bath at a women-owned farmhouse in Bhutan.

First launched in 2018, Intrepid’s Women’s Expedition range is designed to break down barriers, foster discussion and create meaningful connections for travellers and locals alike.

Rebuild St. Elizabeth Project

So far, I’ve received donations to the tune of $1,065! Thank you to all the donors. The fundraising efforts continue slowly but surely. My cousin is assessing how we can get supplies that that money can buy to some of the residents as soon as possible. We were hoping for one big community project, but looks like we have to do it in stages as the donations are not pouring in as expected.

If you have anyone willing to donate to the cause please send them over to https://gofund.me/6938f19d4.

I started this CHARITY AUCTION on Facebook; but it had no bidders. You’re welcome to make your bids by hitting reply. Bids start at $50.

TWA Twin Pack (1:500 Die-Cast, Sealed) TWA. The airline that made flying glamorous.

World Cup Football 2026

Are you a football (soccer) fan? This event runs in North America (Canada, U.S. and Mexico) from June 11 - July 19, 2026. I’m working on a page to help you figure this all out. It’s not quite finished as yet, so stay tuned; watch for the email.

I’ve been to the event in Brazil and Hamburg a few years back. They are amazing events and really worthwhile attending if you can.

New Resources

Here are some resources I created for you. There are a few more, but I’m still working on those. There are also some new ones that I’ll be adding to the paid Passrider Premium part of the site as well.:

Flight Loads

Many new members have joined; thank you and welcome. If you’ve not done so already, remember to sign up for Flight Loads, (https://flightloads.passrider.com), my new free anonymous load-sharing service. And spread the word, please.

Get The Non-Rev Playbooks

If you’ve already purchased; thank you. I’m now working on the third in the series. Can you guess which region is next?

PS: I’ve set the introductory price very low as an introductory offer. My book proceeds go right back into keeping Passrider running and creating travel content to make your travels smoother and maximize your travel benefits. I appreciate your support.

Passrider Schedules Premium

If you want more visibility and easier backup planning when using airline schedules, Passrider Premium adds expanded tools explicitly designed for airline employees.
