We get ideas on proposals for new places to travel all the time. Most of them come from travelers we meet at trade shows or on trips they are currently on. We are also approached by many different sources (mostly tourist board or tour operators) to run trips. A lot of new and exciting things will be going on in 2016, and we think it might be the biggest year yet for The Traveling Professor's tours. To take a look at where we are thinking of going in 2016, take a look at today's travel blog post.
A tour to Peru and Machu Picchu takes a lot of planning. It is an adventure that travelers usually only do once in their lifetimes, so let's make sure a trip to Machu Picchu is done the right way. Go the right time of year, stay in the best hotels in Machu Picchu, make sure to see everything to be seen in Machu Picchu. In this blog post, The Traveling Professor, Steve Solosky gives his top ten pieces of advice for visiting Machu Picchu.
Thanks to my friend Johnny Jet (www.johnnyjet.com) I was tipped off to the airfare deal of the year on American Airlines. $321 round-trip from Newark (adjacent to NYC) or Los Angeles (LAX) airport to Copenhagen for $321. I am sure this deal won't last long so it travelers need to act quickly. In this blog post, The Traveling Professor gives a tutorial on how to find your super deal in a matter of seconds instead of typing in random dates on the AA website, for instance, looking for availability. Check out the blog post to find the airfare deal of the summer.
The Traveling Professor has been looking at credit card deals as they apply to travelers. We primarily look at what types of travel benefits these cards give in terms of miles, waived fees, and priority access. In today's blog post we look at another card that offers the benefit of Admiral's Club membership as a perk. Read The Professor's blog post to find out more about a great travel credit card deal.
Picking the best travel credit card can be a windfall in terms of mileage awards, free checked bags, priority boarding and a whole bunch of other benefits. In the first part of this two-part series on travel credit card deals, I talk about the US Airways Barclays credit card. Read the blog post to find out about a terrific travel credit card deal, maybe the best to be found anywhere.
