Finding Award Flights - The Easier Way

Use This Tip to Find OneWorld Award Flights

Airline Award Miles Easy Way to RedeemA big complaint The Traveling Professor always hears is that it can be very difficult to redeem accrued award miles for flights.  I agree that airlines do conspire for us to redeem those awards.  For instance, when traveling from North America to Europe, American Airlines seems to want to route you through London as much as they can.   I feel the reason for this is because taxes and fees going through London are so high, it discourages people from redeeming miles when a purchased ticket does not cost a significant amount more.  And of course, the big problem is that flights are simply not available.  However, I have discovered a tool on American Airline's site that makes it easier (not necessarily easy) to find award flights.

Foods I Won't Eat While Traveling Abroad

Even The Professor Has His Limits

worst foods in parisOne of the joys of traveling is experiencing new and different cuisine.   For instance, I love escargot in Paris.   There is not enough pasta to satisfy me in Venice.  I'll even go for bangers and mash in London and reindeer in Norway.   I've had piranha in Peru and alpaca in Bolivia.  The bratwurst in Bavaria is fine with me.   But there are some local foods that, as much  as I try, I can't seem to get used to.  For more, see my blog post.

Traveling Solo

Pointers for Traveling Abroad Alone

solo travel to parisI used to travel alone, especially to Paris, quite a bit.   I loved the freedom of not being tethered to a schedule and go wherever my legs would take me.   To be honest, traveling alone to Paris really was the way I learned the city.   I probably took 15-20 trips to Paris alone before I ever ran group tours.   I've traveled alone to Italy also.  Read my blog post for tips on traveling solo.

The Paris "I See Dead People Tour"

An Offbeat Walking Tour

pere lachaise traveling professorI watched the Bruce Willis classic, "The Sixth Sense" the other night.   After waking up after a few nightmares, I dreamed up some Paris "I See Dead People" tours myself.   It's not really a horror story, but it can be a lot of fun to do this offbeat tour next time on vacation in The City of Light.
