Richard Branson Does It Again: Virgin America Is the Only Way to Fly in the U.S.

I had a wonderful opportunity of traveling in an airline that’s, well let’s just say different from the other leading airlines. I am talking about Sir Richard Branson’s well-thought out creation, Virgin America. So, what’s so different about Virgin America? Well, for one, the airplanes have a unique interior to them. It doesn’t feel like you’re entering into a regular airplane. The mood lighting throughout the airplane and the elegant seats add to the sleek interior.

Now, I am…

WTL talks to the Egyptian people: The mood is absolutely celebratory

Today, the seventh day of the revolt against President Mubarak and for democracy in Egypt, 2 million people are said protesting in Cairo. Some have estimated 8 million nationwide; that’s 10% of the population and that, technically speaking, is a…

Why are they considered the best airline in the world? Start with the newest, most sumptuous…

Well, my Wall Street backers bought the company and…

How I got started on a lifelong journey in the travel business
