You could say Southwest Airlines has some perks. Depending on the length of the flight, they serve snacks. They’re generous with checked bags. Oh, and they’ve got internet access. Currently, through Anuvu, their sole internet provider, Southwest Airlines charges $8 per day to use wi-fi. In other words, on any given calendar day, no matter how […]

The Wednesday Who: Heriberto Jara Corona (Veracruz, Mexico)
For today’s Wednesday Who, we will be taking a look at Heriberto Jara Corona, whose name was adopted for Veracruz International Airport (VER) in Mexico. This particular airport has a bit more meaning to me than other Wednesday Who posts. I used to fly to Veracruz to visit a friend, who coincidentally hails from Orizaba, […]
Kansas City, Missouri’s New Airport Terminal is Opening This Month
Way back in 2013, with the goal of trying to eat as much KC barbeque as possible, I flew to Kansas City, MO’s international airport (MCI). After a long weekend of trying local staples such as Arthur Bryant’s and Gates Bar-B-Q, I headed back to the airport. Indeed, when MCI opened in 1972, the idea […]
Travel Photography: Maps v. Reality
In part, I’m writing this brief post because I’m looking for suggestions for a new offline Android maps app. You see, for years I was a loyal user of maps.me; simply search for the destination, then download a map of that region. That’s it. For whatever reason, in the middle of 2022, I noticed major, […]
The Wednesday Who of Airport Names: George Tackaberry
Here’s a bizarre axiom for you: if you want an airport in Canada named after you, don’t have anything to do with aviation. Out of all the Canadian airports that have adopted titles with aviators in mind, there are only seven … and two are named for the same person (that being World War I ace […]
TAP Air Portugal Expands its Stopover Program
The first exposure I recall having with something Portuguese was Macao, Portugal’s former colony and present-day gambling hub, which I had visited while studying abroad in Hong Kong. Coincidentally, Hong Kong is where I had my first Portuguese-influenced bite, egg tarts. Although I’m still a novice when it comes to knowing about Portuguese food — […]
Tokyo Narita’s Terminal 3 Is Getting a 24-Hour Fast Food Spot
Parts of the terminal buildings at Tokyo Narita (NRT) might be open all day long, but don’t expect a Dubai or Bangkok 24-hour atmosphere of passenger hubbub and last-minute shopping. Even though I’ve flown into Narita many times, in 2012 I had a delayed flight that landed just before the airport curfew — except for […]
