WELCOME

This blog is about the adventure of traveling and especially the interesting people that you meet. We will share stories about people and places we have encountered from around the United States, Ireland, Scotland, England, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, France, Canada, Spain, Mexico, The Vatican, The Netherlands, Belgium, Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Liechtenstein, Portugal, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, and more. This is not a travelogue -- we leave that to Rick Steves -- this is a collection of fragments in the journey of life.

The Best Airline


Various websites ask us to name the best airline. The answers really depend on subjective factors. I have not flown them all. One experience on a specific airline may or may not reflect all other flights. 

The picture above is the "Tinkerbell" flight of Alaska Airlines. We have flown Alaska a good deal as they go where we want to go domestically. They serve complementary wine and micro-brew beer and are almost always on time. We find them consistent.

One of my favorites is Virgin Atlantic to London. They seem to get it right for us. Flying to the continent we have had good fortune with Air France.

I do not like Aer Lingus or Alitalia based on one bad experience with each. I have found United and Continental/Delta passable. 

I hear good things about Swiss Air, but we have not flown with them.

In the end, I have a half dozen frequent flyer cards and have only earned enough for perks on Alaska as my other miles are lost because I do not use them. Maybe I should be more loyal.
