  • The Boarding Process Examined

    This week I am going more the op-ed route and expressing my opinion (like I don’t already) rather than providing factual insight into the travel industry. For any of you that have traveled extensively and can’t afford the business or first class treatment, boarding is a grueling processes.  In the US, a domestic route almost…

Jan 2015, New Year Edition The New Year has just begun, and tripchi is excited to bring you new airport and travel hacking tips, as well as new airport coverage in our airport app in 2015.

  • Ryanair Beats Back Screen Scrapers

    Ryanair was back in the news last week but it had nothing to do with angry passengers or their 737’s landing at the wrong airport. They brought a suit against a Dutch screen scraper website called PR Aviation. In a role reversal of sorts, Ryanair found itself on the defensive, instead of being the aggressor,…

  • Best Airport Fitness

    We’re all trying to lose that holiday weight – you know, from the extra Christmas mashed potatoes, that scoop of ice cream on the scrumptious pumpkin pie, and the second helping of fruitcake. Or maybe from that awesome round-the-world New Year’s Eve double-airport celebration. But it’s such a busy time of year, and with business…

  • AirAsia CEO Handles Tragedy With Leadership

    Many times in 2014 airlines were in the news for all the wrong reasons. In the airline business customers are quick to throw stones when airlines mess up and reluctant to applaud you for a job well done. I think many passengers forget how difficult it is to run an airline, not to mention make it…

  • Denver Airport Gift Giving

    Throughout the month of December, tripchi covered airport holiday celebrations, a special double-dose of an airport New Year’s Eve, and holiday flying freebies (including a mention of Denver Airport gift giving promotion). Since Seth only scratched the surface on coverage of the Denver Airport holiday promotion, I thought I’d do a more in-depth review based on my…

  • iBeacon’s Improve Pax Experience in 2015

    As we leave 2014 in the dust, its time to look ahead to whats on tap for 2015 in terms of airport tech. As I previously discussed in my Bluetooth tech blog, iBeacons have already started to enter some airports. This is a big deal because now airports and app’s like tripchi can easily connect with…

  • PIT Airport not the Pits

    Our 5th airport to build out for the tripchi airport mobile app is PIT Airport (Pittsburgh International Airport). It was kind of a spontaneous airport to decide to include, but we had the fortune of taking an extended layover through PIT Airport on the way back from IAD Airport (Washington-Dulles International Airport) in early Dec…

  • 2014 Flights In Review

    It’s been a fun year of travel for me. This was one of my best years for international travel mainly due to the fact I spent much of the year in Cape Town, South Africa tagging along while my girlfriend was getting a graduate degree at the University of Cape Town. Many of the flights…
