This Week in Travel: Vol. 31

There are so many travel blogs & publications I read on a daily basis! Wanted to share some of my favorite links, articles, info graphics and tips from around the web this week.

• United is bringing back free snacks. But seriously, remember when free snacks were a given and not something an airline was looking to be praised for?
• Oh man, Southwest! This does not give me warm fuzzies about flying out of Nashville (but I have no choice).
• After recently finishing Downton Abbey (can’t wait for season 6!) I’m loving these English homes.
• These excuses *might* help if you’re late or miss your flight – but don’t hold me to it.
• An airline class WORSE than coach? It’s happening. PS – My gut says it’s not worth the 10-20% savings. 
• I’m used to service fees and liquor tax – but charing for clean air?
• This is the ultimate travel accessory. I don’t leave home without it!
• These shoes are ugly and hilarious… and I’m not sure they’ll save that much time at security.
• How to pick the best airline for you!
• Working at 10,000 feet? Find out which airline has the best Wi-Fi.
• Thanks for NOTHING, American Airlines.
• Using the restroom should not be an “add-on” for flying! Luckily, some people agree.
• News on Visa Waver (aka, you might actually have to get one when traveling to Europe in the future… annoying!)
• Ah, nothing as magical as Christmas around the world 🙂
• Where to exercise & run in London (so many great running paths in that city!)
