THIS
WEEK'S HEADLINES
Lift
airline Ban on Lighters, TSA Urges
June 29, 2006 - The nation's aviation security chief says
Congress should lift a ban on passengers carrying lighters

flight, there might be a new line at the gate for frequent
fliers.
Let
Your Fellow Travelers be Your Guide
June 25, 2006 - I thought I had discovered the ideal hotel
in Paris. Free high-speed Internet access, located on a metro

Business Travelers Should Know About Avian Flu
June 12, 2006 - You're going to want to wash your hands after

(ACTE).

June 29, 2006 - Mark Erickson is the kind of flier that airlines
love. Every Monday, he leaves for New York or California for
his job as a master chef for the Culinary Institute of America.

side!" You endure the long hours in coach with your knees
pushed to your chest and the arm rests biting into your sides.

the first-class cabin, believing that your true seat is up
front.
