Venice rebels against cruise ship intrusions
MSNBC Travel &bull Feb 5, 2012
VENICE, Italy - It's a matter of perspective. From aboard a 12-deck cruise liner, the sight of St. Mark's Square, the Doge's Palace and Bridge of Sighs gliding past from a cabin balcony is a breathtaking thrill. But against the backdrop of Venice's storied canals and Byzantine architecture, these floating condominiums present a jarring sight, out of scale and sync with the surroundings. The fatal grounding of the Costa Concordia off the Tuscan coast has sharpened the focus on the largely unchecked boom of these ever-larger luxury liners, and nowhere more so than in Venice, a fragile city already struggling… Full Story »

Anatomy of an airport security breach
CNN.com Travel &bull Feb 2, 2012
Washington (CNN) -- By all accounts, it started innocently. An airport screener missed a bag. But by the time it was over, authorities had shut down an airport terminal for two hours, airlines delayed almost a dozen flights and scores of air travelers probably were wondering whether they should have taken the train. The shutdown of the A-2 terminal at Newark Liberty International Airport on Wednesday is probably typical in many ways. But a Port Authority police report… Full Story »

Chasing the A380: Lufthansa First Class Terminal Frankfurt, Lufthansa First Class Frankfurt to Orlando
One Mile at a Time &bull Jan 31, 2012
Since my friend was returning on the Lufthansa flight to Seattle and I was returning to Orlando, we got to the airport at around 9AM (even though my flight was only at 1PM). Since we had stayed at the Westin we took a taxi to the First Class Terminal, given that it's a bit further from the train station than the InterContinental. The First Class Terminal experience was as it always is - awesome. We were immediately greeted by our personal assistant, who actually recognized me from a previous trip, which I thought was impressive given how many guests they… Full Story »

Chasing the A380: ANA First Class Lounge Tokyo Narita, Lufthansa A380 First Class Tokyo to Frankfurt
One Mile at a Time &bull Jan 29, 2012
We took the 6:30AM "Friendly Airport Limousine" to Narita Airport, arriving at around 8AM. We were dropped off at terminal 1, which is the Star Alliance terminal. The terminal really is a brilliant example of how alliances can improve the customer experience. Instead of segregating check-in by airline, all airlines share ground staff. There are separate counters for coach, business class, first class, and Star Gold members. We headed to the "B" counter, which is for first class, though once the agent verified that we were actually in first class, she escorted us over to the private first class check-in… Full Story »
