Hi Fellow Traveler,

This week was a good one as Houston continued it’s cleanup. Internet is back and power is back for most, but there are still just under 3,000 customers without power. Hang in there folks.

I NEED YOUR HELP

If you’ve taken the survey, THANK YOU! If not, please do so.

The results already received are really good, so thank you. And remember I have a gift for you once you’ve completed the survey.

Starting tomorrow, I’m headed to London for the Farnborough Airshow which occurs every other year.

It promises to be a good show even without the Boeing company flying any of its jets.

Follow me on YouTube and Instagram for updates while I’m there.

It will be a fun trip as apart from my first flight, it will be a low-cost carrier trip and I get to fly two new airlines; what my YouTube and Instagram to find out which ones it will be.

There was a major system outage with many airlines and airports worldwide and that surely created havoc with the flights; hopefully, you were able to weather this storm today. For those of you who had to work through it, Thank you.

Remember that my friends Ian and Tonya over at World Footprints have put together a trip to Egypt later this year. If you’ve not been to Egypt, this is an excellent way to see it in style.

If you’d like to go on, you should, check out the trip they’ve put together here.

Here's what I got this week.

Remember I do update the entire newsletter each week, so scroll down and check it out, in its entirety.

This week, I wrote about my trip to San Sebastian, Spain, as well as I did a video Trip Report of my flight on Hawaiian Airlines’ airbus A321neo.

I also finally published the story about the Olympics in Paris and how to get there, etc. So please take a look at that as well.

And, two new aviation news headlines.

Remember that if you want me to cover a city, just hit reply and let me know and please use the share links to share this newsletter; with only two shares you’ll get my A to Z Airport Guide; featuring 26 airports worldwide.

Planes in LAX

So, what do you do when there’s only one seat left and there are two people in your party?

I’ve gotten on many flights in this situation as the party of two does not want to split or can’t split (parents and small children; children traveling with older parents, etc.)

When your traveling party is more than one, this is something you have to think about and plan for before it happens. It helps the gate agent in getting the flight out on time.

Deciding who stays and who goes at the last minute is not a good option; so please figure this out beforehand.

There’s a lot of logistics to making it to the Olympics in Paris next week; here’s some information you need.

TRAVEL INSURANCE

A friend of mine was on holiday and got sick; unfortunately, she did not have any form of travel insurance. So she had to pay out of pocket and have a doctor and nurse come to her house to get treatment. Four days later she was feeling better and ready to fly home to get further treatment.

I say this to say that travel insurance is just as important as booking your flights and your hotel; it’s a part of the journey. it gives you peace of mind when you travel. At least, it does for me. That’s why I have an annual policy. Consider getting travel insurance for every trip or an annual policy. you don’t need it until you need it.
