  • Airport Loyalty Programs

    As airport loyalty programs continue to pop up at an airport near you, we wanted to look more closely at the key components that make airport loyalty programs successful. In our next blog, we will compare a number of airport loyalty models in existence today and break them down in terms of program effectiveness and guest experience.

  • Winter Weather and Cancelled Flights

    As winter sinks its teeth into the Midwest and the Northeast of the United States, cancellations and delays become a big issue for airports, airlines and passengers alike. Airlines have taken a much more proactive approach to winter storms in recent years. Previously many airlines would wait and see how bad a storm is before…

  • PHX for the Superbowl

    It’s been a while since we’ve visited Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, but now’s a great time to revisit and review PHX for the Superbowl. Whether you’re a PHX local, or just passed through PHX for the Superbowl, you’ll love the Southwest inspired art, architecture, shopping and dining that this airport has to offer. In…

  • 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…

  • 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…
