I put on my avgeek hat this week and wrote about 10 U.S. cities that you can visit and geek out.

And also updated the 2020 post on my nocturnal visit to Vilnius, Lithuania.

I also prepared an hour-long YouTube video on London, but alas, I didn’t use the software properly so some of has sound, but there is no image; tomorrow I’ll do it over and get it right this time.

And, two new aviation news headlines.

And a Passrider travel tip.

How are things in your neck of the woods?

As a fellow avgeek, I try to seek out aviation stuff when I visit a city. So I compiled a list of the top 10 U.S. that has aviation geek stuff. Let me know what you think by leaving a comment on the post.

PASSRIDER TIP: PACK A CHANGE OF CLOTHES

Winair Twin Otter in St. Maarten (SXM)

When traveling on standby, always pack a change of clothes, toiletries, and any essentials in your carry-on.

You never know when a flight might get delayed or if you might have to overnight unexpectedly as you got bumped.

Having your basics handy can make a world of difference if you find yourself stuck or need to hop on a different flight at the last minute.

PS: This goes for regular travelers as well :-).

In this video, I talk about how to make yourself a little more comfortable when you fly a low-cost airline.

I also talk about the importance of reading the airline's baggage restrictions and abiding by them.

TRAVEL INSURANCE

A dear friend of mine recently fell ill while on holiday and, unfortunately, didn’t have travel insurance. She had to pay out of pocket for a doctor and nurse to visit her at home for treatment.

Thankfully, after four days, she recovered enough to fly back home for further care.

This experience is a reminder that travel insurance is as essential as booking your flights and hotel—it’s a crucial part of your journey. It offers peace of mind when you’re on the road, which is why I always carry an annual policy.

Consider getting travel insurance for each trip or an annual plan. You never know when you’ll need it—until you do.

Note: If you purchase travel insurance via this link, I receive a small commission. Thank you in advance.

TRAVEL CREDIT CARD OFFERS

If you use credit cards, consider one that earns points for every dollar spent, helping you travel nearly free when the time comes.

Here are some travel offers that recently arrived in my mailbox.

Note: I earn points as a commission if you apply and are approved for any of these cards. Thank you!
