Most of us with a home office or regular co-working space have a better ergonomic set-up there than when we take our laptop on the road. It’s easy to get slumped and hunched in a bad posture situation. You can set your laptop on two stacks of books or food storage containers to get the screen level with your eyes, but then how do you type? The solution is a portable Bluetooth keyboard that folds up small for travel. I use this one that’s currently 30 bucks and it goes for days between charges.
Three days a week you can fly direct from mainland Mexico to the Baja Peninsula, but there’s another option where you can go on an overnight ferry ride instead. I took it between Mazatlan and La Paz a few weeks ago. It’s a vehicle ferry, which could save you more than 3,000 kilometers of driving. Here’s a detailed post I wrote about it if you’re interested, with a video tour to show what the experience was like. (Or go to YouTube here for the video only.)
Dubai’s airport is reportedly the world’s busiest in terms of passengers, with 87 million coming and going last year. The ruling family thinks that’s too small, so they’re going to spend $35 billion (if they keep to the budget) to build a brand new airport with 5 parallel runways, 400 gates, and a capacity of 250 million annual passengers. It is scheduled to take a decade. “As we build an entire city around the airport in Dubai South, demand for housing for a million people will follow,” Dubai's ruler said. “It will host the world’s leading companies in the logistics and air transport sectors.”
Apparently the way to please customers is… be nice to them. And take care of your employees. Southwest Airlines came out on top a third year in a row in the latest J.D. Power and Associates customer satisfaction survey on 9 U.S. and 2 Canadian airlines, despite some rough patches they had last year with canceled flights. That was for economy class, where Delta came in second and the other legacy airlines were beat out by budget carrier Allegiant. Delta topped the business class category and JetBlue was second. Air Canada was last in two of three categories: business and premium economy. Frontier was last in economy (472 out of 1,000), where even Spirit topped them.
