Two Curious Passports

It’s been awhile for a family trip!

📍Where: Carlsbad, CA
🤔Why: to run a 5k and half marathon (also to enjoy some beach vibes)

Just absolutely stunning. Colorado never disappoints. Taken on the way up to Aspen for a work trip.

Flew to Bozeman and back to Denver over the past few days. Was pleasantly surprised that the Embraer 175 Jet was equipped with .

The starlink was smooth and easy to connect. Also it was FREE if you are a mileage plus member with United! Streaming songs and sending iMessage texts never had an issue!

We have been fans of United lately but this really solidified future trips with them moving forward!

The U.S. Just Issued a Global Travel Warning—What Travelers Should Know About the Worldwide Security Alert The U.S. Department of State issued a rare security alert advising all Americans to exercise caution while traveling abroad—here's what you need to know.

Another blast of winter weather is wreaking havoc on air travel. Two busy hubs in Texas have already been hit with disruptions, and cancellations are now piling up across parts of the Midwest, South and mid-Atlantic on Friday.

As of 9:30 a.m. EST, airlines have already canceled more than 2,100 flights Friday, according to data from FlightAware. Another 1,300 have been delayed.

The world's busiest airport has been hit the hardest, with at least 300 flights shuttered by early Friday at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL). Following closely is Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT), with more than 280 departures scrapped.

Several major U.S. carriers have issued travel advisories for dozens of airports ranging from Texas to Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina.

Such waivers allow travelers more flexibility to make free ticket changes to avoid travel during a major weather event. (Airlines have also issued similar waivers for parts of Southern California affected by the ongoing wildfires.)

If you're concerned about upcoming travel plans on Friday or this weekend, here's how you can prepare.

📝 Review your options: Now is a good time to check and see if your trip is covered by an airline travel advisory.

🤳 Keep an eye on your airline's app. Make sure you download your airline's app, and keep your reservation pulled up. Look out for notifications about your flight and for any signs of potential trouble with your itinerary.

👀 See a good rebooking option? Don't delay, lock it in.

🤝 Review your refund rights.

🧳 Think twice about checking luggage. Keeping all of your luggage in hand can mean fewer wrinkles if you need to be re-booked.
