Great resource for the airline employee who has already done all of the “obvious” trips.

Handy market-specific travel tips, and un-obvious destination recommendations from a former employee who lives for the next trip – wherever that may be!

Great Guide for active and retired airline employees especially those new in the industry. Kevin has done a great job compiling destinations and possible options on how to arrive to them. He has also given me new ideas for my future traveling. Great Guide to keep. I highly recommend it!
