    Ewa Hotel Waikiki

    ByThe Skeptical Traveler January 25, 2015

    The hotel is located close to the Honolulu Zoo, Kuhio Beach Park, and the Waikiki Beach. We had a studio with kitchenette that we hardly used it, but it is good it was there. The resort fess was only $10 per night that included Internet access. The hotel looks old  but I did not mind it for the…

    Skiplagged.com, site that is sued by United Airlines and Orbitz

    ByThe Skeptical Traveler December 4, 2014

    A very interesting thread going on at reddit.com I launched Skiplagged.com last year with the goal of helping consumers become savvy travelers. This involved making an airfare search engine that is capable of finding hidden-city opportunities, being kosher about combining two one-ways for cheaper than round-trip costs, etc. The first of these has received the…

    World Cup Here I Come

    ByThe Skeptical Traveler June 12, 2014June 11, 2014

    A friend convinced me to accompany him to the World Cup as he had two tickets for one game. I don’t really know how, but I fell for it, maybe because I am weak. He kept saying that this is a life time opportunity to go to a World Cup in a country like Brazil….

    And they have snacks in the galley

    ByThe Skeptical Traveler June 8, 2014

    I have recently flown KLM from Vancouver to Amsterdam. It was my first long flight in economy class after a long time (no longer I have Air Canada status and eUpgrades) so I was tempted to upgrade to a Economy Comfort seat but I didn’t, and it was a good decision. The plane left Vancouver…

    Lightest Airplane Seat Could Save Airlines Millions of Dollars

    ByThe Skeptical Traveler April 13, 2014

    The seat made from titanium and composites weighs just 4 kg (8.8 lbs) (in comparison the Recaro seats used by United weigh 11 kg). The seat caters to single-aisle aircraft bodies, including A320 and B737, for short and medium hauls and could save up to $500,000 per year per aircraft by reducing fuel consumption. The…

    Las Vegas Shows – Ray Romano and Kevin James

    ByThe Skeptical Traveler April 8, 2014May 11, 2014

    This is the second show I have seen in Las Vegas, I could have not missed one of my favourite comedians Kevin James and having Ray Romano on the stage as well, that was a bonus. A comedian, whose name unfortunately I forgot, started the show. He was good but as he told one of…

    Las Vegas Shows – Marc Savard Comedy Hypnosis

    ByThe Skeptical Traveler April 7, 2014

    I have been three times to Las Vegas (because I had to for various conferences, otherwise very unlikely I would have visited the city any time soon*) and only the last time did I go to a show. And my first show was the Marc Savard Comedy Hypnosis show, the ticket was only $20 bought…

    Las Vegas – List of Hotels that Don’t Charge Resort Fees

    ByThe Skeptical Traveler April 7, 2014April 6, 2014

    There was a long line at the MGM Grand check-out desks so I used one of  the check-out kiosks. And to my surprise there was a resort fee on the bill I didn’t remember seeing it when I made the reservation. I asked one of the MGM employees – she was there telling people in…

    TSA PreCheck Lane

    ByThe Skeptical Traveler April 6, 2014

    I was in the security lane at the Las Vegas airport, and to my utter surprise I did not have to take my shoes off or take the laptop out or remove my belt. What!? When did the rules change (as a matter of fact I had not flown for some 6 months)? So curious…
