    Upgrade from a cheap fare

    Hi Crazy Dave, From a regular customers perspective, i find it a bit annoying that often all the "blue" seats are almost full, everyone is squashed in and there are "red seats" empty. On a flight this week, i was in row 4 aisle seat, next to a rather large lady, i'm 6'4 myself, i had my leg in...

    Anecdotal seat allocation

    Always check in online,i look for an aisle seat where the window seat is already asigned in the hope that the middle seat will remain empty for the flight - depends on the flight but i have a 40-50% strike rate. Trying to get a seat futher forward at the airport would wipe that chance out in...

    US Car Rental in Seattle

    I would recomend hiring with Hertz paying the extra $10usd per day and getting a car with the Never Lost system, makes navigating you way around a snap, the last thing you need when driving on the right hand side is worrying about trying to read a map. The only thing is they tend to only fit the...
