    ByThe Skeptical Traveler December 18, 2013December 21, 2013

    Inside the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Minneapolis. And the US flag in the church?! Last time I saw a flag in a church was in Cuba Viva la Revolucion.

    30 eUpgrades for Air Canada giveaway

    ByThe Skeptical Traveler December 18, 2013December 17, 2013

    I said 30 but there could be 34 or 40 or even 50 (but no promises) in case the winner requires more to upgrade for a long flight especially as I have no travel plans so rather than have the eUpgrades expire I would give them away. The eUpgrades expire on 28 Feb, 2014 so…

    Peng Heng Space Capsules Hotel, one of China’s weird/amazing hotels

    ByThe Skeptical Traveler December 17, 2013December 17, 2013

    Pengheng Space Capsules Hotel opened a few months ago in Shenzhen (city of 10 mil. people located some 20 km from Hong Kong). The hotel has robots performing menial tasks and rooms shaped as tiny space capsules. It is a pity the hotel’s website is not in English. Perhaps they could have drawn foreign tourists…

    Turkish Airlines, Kobe and Messi

    ByThe Skeptical Traveler December 17, 2013December 16, 2013

    Another successful ad (more than 120 mil. views) from Turkish Airlines, “the carrier that flies to more countries than any other”. I would have thought it was Lufthansa or British Airways or perhaps Air China not Turkish Airlines, but if they say so it has to be true. However, curious as I am had to “check”…

    Vancouver – Minneapolis with Delta

    ByThe Skeptical Traveler December 16, 2013December 15, 2013

    This was my first time I have flown Delta. I would have preferred to fly Air Canada for the upgrade and the Aeroplan miles but not only didn’t they have a direct flight to Minneapolis but they were much more expensive. Air Berlin matched my status so my next option was a member of oneworld,…

    Transition, the Flying Car

    ByThe Skeptical Traveler November 17, 2013November 16, 2013

    In fact Transition is more “roadable airplane” then “flying car”. Two prototypes have been built and over 100 people have advance-ordered them, the first delivery is scheduled for 2015. The company behind the airplane/car is Terrafugia that has already raised $10 million in funding. “Transition, is a two-seater folding-wing aerocar that is designed to comply…

    Ask a Flight Attendant Anything About Her Job

    ByThe Skeptical Traveler October 30, 2013October 30, 2013

    I have just come across a very interesting site: “At Jobstr.com, you can ask people anything about their jobs and answer questions about yours. It’s as though we took the classic “What do you do?” cocktail party question and turned it into a website…minus the awkward small-talk.” The following are the top 4 highest rated…
