Quite a use of checked luggage that we saw last week

We've flown @frontierair before and encountered a LOT of passengers that should have been taped down to seats. Bravo to the flight crew - even without reading more details than what's in this article, we hope suspended employees are reinstated. abcnews.go.com/GMA/Travel/fr…

We've been grounded for a while ... but if you're chomping at the bit to start flying again, look at some of the shivers-inducing plane photos in this great collection of awful travelers: toocool2betrue.com/nightmare…

You know we love #FoodTrucks and Washington state. So ... apnews.com/f9ed665ddf5de7665…

Travel reality vs. fantasy

Excellent article arguing against #TravelShaming from @thepointsguy thepointsguy.com/news/critic…

Great and wonderful fishing trip for Charlie in Sitka AK last week. Lots of masks, gloves in transit and everybody on the trip got Covid test the day before. Tested after return, still negative. Tip of the cap to Alaska the state and airline @AlaskaAir for precautions.

Terrible work by @BestBuy today. Ordered 2 monitors and 2 HDMI cables, 2 hours later they said come get your order. Curbside pick up brought out 2 HDMI cables and says they don’t have the monitors til tomorrow, even though website said they were in stock. Back to @Amazon !

Great guide to credit repair services from @OGreporter cnet.com/personal-finance/wh… Make sure you really need these services; you likely can get on the road to credit repair better yourself, just as Oscar says in the article

Has anybody else out there completely forgotten how to pack for a trip?

Greetings from Points Pilot's Brad in #GlacierNationalPark - heading to Yellowstone shortly.

Ambitious travel is still tough in Covid era, and campgrounds in national parks are getting shut down again ... but you can still make day reservations in #Yosemite. It's been too long, we're gonna call and drive into Yosemite this week. Photo here of a Merced rafting day.

You may already do what's in these 5 tips when booking hotel rooms, but read it anyway even as a refresher travelandleisure.com/hotels-… My favorite microtip: Follow and tweet a week in advance to hotel stay, maybe they'll thank you with an upgrade. It's happened to us!

If you are travel-antsy and ready to get back out there, take a breath before planning for going to Europe afar.com/magazine/europe-fin…

Double decker seats and more room in coach? Yes, please! And much better for distancing? Yes please! dmarge.com/2020/06/double-de… - Thx for the article @booth1112 @IamDMarge How can we make this happen?

We are definitely travel starved, but Charlie here in San Diego was so glad to get to Palm Springs to have socially distanced drinks and dinner with great friends. Normally PS in 105 degree heat isn't our first vacation choice but Covid has changed a lot of things!

Great list of Vegas secret bars, restaurants, speakeasies: tripsavvy.com/the-best-secre… - We are suckers for a secret lounge. Have only been to 1 of the Vegas ones on this list, but we've been to 2 other ones. This photo is of our favorite: The Mob Museum's speakeasy downtown Vegas

To our knowledge, an abandoned airport was never a location in a Scooby Doo cartoon. But there is one in Greece just wasting away cnn.com/travel/article/greec…
