Lewis and Clark Universal 4 in 1 Adapter Plug

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

I was in the Crew Out Fitters Store when I asked what new stuff was in to try. My ears perked up when they said they had a compact electrical adapter. ! have a big bag with all the adapters I need when I travel. Here is another tool I can use that saves space in my suitcase. Not only that, but it has a surge protector and an indicator of the voltage , 110 or 220. This is important to me because I use this for my computer.

I added up all the features in my head and calculated it was cheaper to buy this product than to get all the separate items, which I had done. So I told them I would try it on my next trip which was to London. I had problems with that countries adapters working properly. I sometimes would ask the hotel desk to borrow one only to find they didn’t have one to give. This was very serendipitous.

When I got the room in London, I was eager to get my emails so I pulled out the Lewis and Clark adapter. It extended the contacts and folded out the ground. This concerned me because it was my last adapter was difficult to fit in the outlet because the ground had issues. To my surprise, it slipped right in perfectly. I was getting excited on how well this was working.

The next thing I noticed was the lights on adapter for protection.. I had heard several crew members whose converters received surges in the older establishments we stay in. More then that, I heard horror stories of people frying their computers because it was 220 volts instead of 110. Then I saw the other light on the adapted which indicated only 110 volts. It seamed this was the perfect product who wanted to do work on their computer when they are on the road, like me. Whether it is putting the dels I found on my website, www.NonRevWebsite.com , or finding what the weather and delays I will be posting on twitter.

I really like this product for it ease of use, its compact size, and the protection of my computer. The more products I use from Crew Outfitters, the more space I seam to have in my bag. Right now, I highly recommend this product, but I am not completely convinced. So I am going to use it on several trips and tell you how it is doing. So stay tuned for the next country I use the Lewis and Clark Universal 4 in 1 plug.

At 10% off at Crew Outfitters, they are lower then any other place I have found on the web. If you would like to purchase a pair, go to Crew Outfitters and use the promo code LW15.

But don’t take my word this is the best deal on the web, search the web for yourself. Just put in Lewis and Clark Adapter Plug in my custom search engine, programmed to find deals, and see what you get.

GoToob to Get Through Security

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

Next Month my schedule takes me to the UK which means extreme adherence to the 3 once liquid policy for security. To make my life a little easier, my friends at Crew Outfitters Suggested I try to GoToob. These container is perfect for getting through security, soft sided for ease of use, and food safe.

If you are like me, you are tired of cleaning out and filling those small plastic containers that make it possible for you to make it through security. These containers are not so easy to find. I have had to use the small shampoo containers to guarantee security won’t be a hassle. And then they were not the best for use and refilling.

The GoToob is soft sided which makes it much easier to dispense shampoo in a slippery dark shower when you are trying to get ready for pick-up and have had not slept well. Instead of doing the ‘get the little bit out that is left,’ you can squeeze the last of the contence out.

The other great feature is the big opening at the top. It is wide enough to get the thickest liquid to the bottom without clogging to top. Another nice feature on the top is an indicator for shampoo, conditioner, and others removes the guessing of the contence.

Finally it is food safe which means you can guarantee your hot sauce won’t be taken out of your flight kit. The money you save on getting the economy size of shampoo, shaving cream, even hot sauce instead of those tiny expensive containers will pay for the GoToob in no time.

So next monthwhen I have those 4 trips to the UK, I won’t have to worry about the 3 once security rule. I also won’t have to struggle in the bathroom as much when my body is on the back side of the clock. One last thing, want some hotsauce to go with that bland meal?

At 15% off at Crew Outfitters, they are lower then any other place I have found on the web. If you would like to purchase a pair, go to Crew Outfitters and use the promo code LW15.

But don’t take my word this is the best deal on the web, search the web for yourself. Just put in Gotoob in my custom search engine, programmed to find deals, and see what you get.

How to Get More Stuff In Your Suitcase

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009

I had the opportunity to try out the Eagle Creek Clothes Pack-it Folder  on my trip to Moscow. It says it holds up to 7 shirts. I put in 3 shirts, a sweater, and a pair of pants with room to spair. It fit well into my Pretty Neat Domestic bag. ( I have yet to get an International bag.) The first thing I noticed is how it saved space in my bag because it compressed the clothes I put in. This left me with more to put the great deals I found in my suitcase.

When I got to Moscow, my clothes were wrinkle free. It looked like I ironed them before I went out to see the sights. My clothes are usually wrinkled but I don’t care because I am usually to tired to iron them anyway.

When I was done with my trip and I had to commute home, then benefits of the Pack-it System realy hit home. I caught an earlier flight home then the jumpseat I had reserved so I wanted to change out of my uniform so as not to get asked the usual questions like “ have you ever been scared flying?’ I also wanted to have an adult beverage. I simply pulled out the Pack-it System , went into the bathroom, and changed. Then when I came back to my seat on a full flight, I slipped the Pack-it System into the overhead bin instead of pulling out my suitcase. The crew would not have appreciated that.

I think this is the prefect device for the professional traveler who wants to keep their clothes looking like they just came from the cleaners. It is also great for increasing the room in your bag. All in all I would recommend this for the traveler who wants to look professional, stay organized, and travel as compact as possible.

At 15% off at Crew Outfitters, they are lower then any other place I have found on the web. If you would like to purchase a pair, go to Crew Outfitters and use the promo code LW15.

But don’t take my word this is the best deal on the web, search the web for yourself. Just put in Eagle Creek Clothes Pack-it Folder  in my custom search engine, programmed to find deals, and see what you get.

Screw Your Buddy Pass

Sunday, August 16th, 2009

I was in the pilot lounge today when I heard a conversation about someone trying to get a friend from Seattle to Atlanta. He jumped through the hoops in the pass bureau to find it would cost $320 round trip. His friend Said thanks but no thanks because on line he could get a one way ticket for $139… for everything including Tax! You do the math. The pilot called the pass bureau again because he thought there was a mistake made with the buddy pass.

The person at the pass bureau said that that was correct fare. He asked why it was so high. The answer was ‘you have to understand that YOU have to pay for the taxes. The pilot said, if that is true, the fare on the internet has less tax than our buddy passes, right? There was silence. Not to let this fact go he added ..’Or is the company making money off us?’

So I went to my company’s pass webpage and got the price. Then I went to the Internet and used my search engine at NONREWEBSITE.  And put in the city pair. The prices at the top and right side were more than enough proof of this story. But as I always say, don’t take my word for it, go to my search engine with the city pair, look at the results, especially at the top and right and click on the to see what the total price is. Then, try the same with Google to be sure. The results will surprise you.

Top Reason You Can’t Nonrev

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

If you want to Nonrev this summer because you got a great Interline Deal, I have some Bad news for you, Cargo. It seems the Airlines are getting more cargo to supplement the light loads and that can ruin your nonrev travel plans.
Interline Travel has not yet gotten world on the influx of cargo on passenger aircraft because no one has told them and they believe this will be a great summer to non-rev. Unfortunately the hardest flights that will be hit is non rev international travel. These flights are carrying the most cargo.
But if you are lucky, it will just be a weight and balance issue meaning you will have to ride in coach. So if you are boarding and are going to the back of the airplane and see open seats up front, don’t push them too hard about an upgrade or you will be kissing your non rev discount goodbye.
So if you are going to try those non-rev travel passes, try to find out if the flight will have a cargo issue. This will also be helpful in finding your chance of getting business class.

If you get stuck and need information on how to get out of a city, try the Nonrev Timetable.

Get On The Flights They say are FULL

Monday, June 8th, 2009

Ever have someone tell you the flight is full only to find out from a friend it wasn’t? Then you need to know the tips below so you will NEVER miss that important flight. I almost gave up on trying to attempt this feat, The System showed full. THE COMPUTERS WERE WRONG. These are this advice.

  1. First, go to the code share WEB SITE and find the flights you want.
  2. Next CALL THE PARTNER. By NOT calling the airline you get BAD INFORMATION. I tried getting code share loads through my airline, they only give availability for the Seats they reserve. Over a quarter of a 747 was empty even though my airline said less then 18 seats available.
  3. Then you show up at the airport on the day of the flight at the CODE SHARE TICKET COUNTER. They will help you get of the flight, just tell them you are a code share employee, show identification, and most importantly – SMILE.
  4. HAVE PAPER TICKETS WITH YOU. If you need to fill out a paper ticket to get of the flight, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE EXTRA TICKET STOCK.
  5. Finally, go to the gate and check in, then sit back and RELAX, you have done all the work, and now it will pay off!
  6. Always, Always, Always dress business professional and you should get just about anywhere you want to fly.
