  • 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.…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • The Hobbit and Air New Zealand Flight NZ2

    Last month, several family members flew Air New Zealand Flight NZ2 from Los Angeles to London and back (NZ1). We’ve been waiting for the opportune time to review their flight, as well as to debut the Hobbit safety video on the tripchi blog. Now that it’s after Christmas, and many of our readers are finally thinking about…

  • The Airport Battle of Baltimore-Washington

    It’s rare in this day and age of air travel to have three large airports centered around one metropolitan area. The Baltimore–Washington metropolitan area is home to around nine millions residents and can lay claim to having Dulles International Airport, Baltimore-Washington International and Ronald Reagan National Airport at its disposal. In terms of non-stop domestic and international routes,…

  • Boston Logan Lands El Al

    Cut another notch in the belt for Boston Logan International Airport! In a report released on 11/11, Massport the authority that operates Boston Logan announced they had reached an agreement with El Al Airlines, which will offer three nonstop flights a week to Israel, beginning in June. Today’s count has Boston Logan serving 41 international destination. By…

  • A Visit To The Military Aviation Museum

    The best surprises come in really big packages. Even better when the packages are WWI and WWII military aircraft. I had rather low expectations of my visit to the Military Aviation Museum in Virginia Beach, VA. I had done some research and read mixed reviews stating the planes were great but not much else to see. The museum had…
