replying to @LandLopers @LandLopers A8 I mean, I like what Virgin and Emirates have tried to do but there's just no way around the fact that planes are awful. Too many seats, too many people, even in 1st class unless you have a private cabin. Cut the passengers by 1/3 to 1/2! š #TravelSkills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills A1 I am both a leisure and business traveller. The hotel design (including in room and on site amenities) can influence my decision to stay there. #TravelSkills

Our hotel room in Rome is the best bargain in the city (ā¬153). We have the whole penthouse of the villa to ourselves with 3 huge terraces overlooking the city. Free parking too. #travelskills

A8. Airline won't change the design; but they could fix the class-focused boarding process that makes everyone SUPER SALTY before they board. #travelskills

replying to @JohnnyJet @JohnnyJet Q5. I love the way those sleek hardcase bags look. I always wanted a silver one with travel stickers all over it. Like a low end James Bond. Like a secret spy pretending to be a tourist. Luxurious and tacky at the same time. #TravelSkills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills A8: I refuse to believe airlines canāt make things comfortable and profitable. Accessible power outlets are a must, 110 and USB. I think some airlines are offloading IFE before theyāre ready. #TravelSkills

replying to @NewYorkHabitat @NewYorkHabitat @Casualtravelist And they come in cool designs now, so you can still look good. Although summoning the energy to get them off after 15 hours can be challenging lol #travelskills

replying to @JohnnyJet @JohnnyJet A6 I wish every hotel bathroom had a makeup mirror! I also love showers that arenāt slippery. #travelskills Check our the vanity at the Curtiss Hotel in Buffalo @CurtissHotel @BuffaloNiagara

A8. Amendment: Airlines should not allow seat reclines on flights less than 6 hours. Anyone who reclines their seat during a 2 hour midday flight is a sociopath and should not be encouraged. #Travelskills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills A2 The Virgin brands (airlines, hotels, cruiseline, mobile, etc), in general, have the best design. #TravelSkills

replying to @BestWestern @BestWestern A9 I love my @BriggsandRiley rolling cabin bag because it fits all my important stuff, fits underneath most seats and is really durable. Iāve had it for over 10 years and I beat it up. #TravelSkills

replying to @BestWestern @BestWestern A9 I use @BriggsandRiley for both my briefcase and carry on. Durable, well-designed, but a little heavy! #TravelSkills

A9. Best bag for carry-on? Love this @eBags simple hard-shall spinner. Durable, easy and you can't overpack it, so it always fits the bag sizer. #TravelSkills https://t.co/oRGKPelxq8

replying to @cjmcginnis @cjmcginnis I love my @away bags although one suitcase broke recently - the shell cracked and the exterior does get pretty banged up and scratched if you check it. But I love the clean lines of its design and the fact that it's super lightweight and easy to maneuver #TravelSkills

A9. Savvy travelers look towards fashionable brands that make an impact. š@IWantHerJob recently interviewed our Vice President of Boutique & Upscale Brands to discuss #TodaysBW and the design process: https://t.co/JoSXaFnPnv #TravelSkills

replying to @JohnnyJet @JohnnyJet A6 #travelskills I prefer a separate mirror/counter outside the bathroom. Always so much easier for showers and wife/daughters doing hair/makeup and leaving the shower open for son and I.

A8 Where to start? Aisles that humans can navigate with their bags, seats that don't squeeze you in like sardines, and air pressure systems that actually work so I don't bust my eardrums #travelskills

replying to @MattsRoadTrip @MattsRoadTrip @LandLopers Years ago we have the BEST flight of our entire lives --- when Open Skies began (not now) used an aircraft meant for about 300 people and flew only 80. HEAVEN! Have never seen so many smiling passengers. Now it's just another airline. #travelskills

replying to @BestWestern @BestWestern TIP Spend more for luggage with a lifetime warranty so if it does break or get damaged you donāt have to buy a new bag #TravelSkills

replying to @LandLopers @LandLopers @PostcardJar Some do and some don't. When traveling as a family, we only use planes if we absolutely have to, because it's so fundamentally unpleasant. Some of that unpleasantness comes from the size and placement of seats. #travelskills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills #TravelSkills bigger seats with more legroom, bigger seats with more legroom and more legroom with bigger seats. A community room would also be of interest.
