    tripchi airport app newsletter, Feb 2015, Winter Freeze Edition Brrr. Tired or shoveling snow? Maybe it’s time to take that Winter getaway somewhere warm. Because, the only thing that should ever be in a deep freeze is a deep-fried frozen Oreo (or Twinkie) – not you!

  • Richmond Airport Review

    I recently flew from Boston to Richmond and back on JetBlue and was excited about the trip for a number of reasons. I had never flown into Richmond International Airport but I had heard very good things about the layout, stores, accessibility and quick security. Richmond to me feels like the beginning of the South.…

  • An Airport Valentine’s Day

  • The Boarding Process Examined

  • 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,…
