Happy Valentine’s Day everyone and Happy Friday! It’s been a rough week in New York this week with all the bad weather, so I decided to head to Los Angeles this week! My JFK-LAX is delayed about 30 minutes, which means more time to spend in the SkyClub. For today’s Happy Hour starting with a…
It’s another snowy morning in Atlanta which means snow days for kids and delays or cancellations for travelers.
