Travel Thursday: American Airlines Changes Upgrade Policy

news / reading, travel / Leave a Comment

It’s Thursday, and I’m thrilled to be on my way back to Denver tonight. Well… I guess to be more accurate, I would say that I’m thrilled to be going home. But I’m not-so-thrilled to go from the sunny beaches of Florida to the apparent winter wonderland that is Colorado right now. The power went out in my neighborhood this afternoon, it’s snowing now and supposed to continue through tomorrow, and I’m pretty worried about both the garden of annuals I planted last weekend (probably a goner) and the status of my sprinkler system (I am still holding out hope …

Travel Thursday: My Thoughts on the Extended Laptop Ban

travel / 6 Comments

I’ve been thinking for a while about writing more about the airline industry. While I do feature lots of travel industry news in my Sunday Links I Love series, I never thought most of you would be interested in that kind of content. But customer experience for travel and transportation is my field of specialization at work, and news in that space has been quite a mainstream topic these days! Yesterday, I posted on Instagram (follow me here) about the forthcoming announcement of the extension of the laptop ban to transatlantic European flights. That story got more comments than anything I’ve previously shared… so …

Restful Nights and Bright, Bright Sunshine-y Days

I’ve written a bit about my struggles with insomnia lately – and I’m still really not sure what’s going on. I had originally attributed it to my East Coast travel, but last Friday morning I woke up at 3:30am East Coast time (or 1:30am Mountain Time) and couldn’t get back to sleep. So clearly, the cross-country travel isn’t the issue, and I’m not sure what is. But the truly weird thing is, the lack of sleep didn’t really bother me too much. This will surprise anyone who knows me well, as usually if I get anything less than 7 hours, I’m a …

Getting Through the Day on 4.5 Hours of Sleep

My flight to Florida last night landed at 11:45pm, at which point I had to go get my rental car and then drive 90 minutes up I-95, check into my hotel, and finally crash into bed. To stay awake on the drive, I blasted a lot of Lady Gaga and sang along at the top of my lungs… which worked surprisingly well. But when I got checked in, washed up, and got into bed? I finally got to sleep around 2am, and was exhausted when I woke up after only getting 4.5 hours of sleep last night. But I remembered reading an …

Weekend Recap: Fail to Plan and Plan to Fail

This weekend started off pretty fabulously. On Friday afternoon, I learned that I’ve been selected as one of BizWest Magazine’s “40 Under Forty” – a huge honor that I still can’t believe I’ve received! Fortunately, I already had plans for a Galentine’s party that night with my best friends, so it was easy to pop open a bottle of bubbly and celebrate 🙂 On Saturday and Sunday, though, things were much more low key – but not for good reasons. As wonderful as my new client is, I’ve been struggling to figure out a sleep schedule that will help me …
