Starting Monday, Frontier Airlines will offer new service to Wichita , Kansas’ Mid-Continent Airport on a 76-seat Embraer-170 jet. The flights will operate from Gate 1 on the east concourse, and the move is a strategic one in competing with United Airlines, which runs four flights from Wichita to Denver each day. The change comes on the heels of a name victory with its merge partner, Midwest Airlines.
I don't know about you, but I think there's some old-world charm about long bus trips that you cannot find in an airplane flight, so take note of these important Travel Tips if you are planiing on a bus vacation this year… Although it is true that traveling time can be shortened to a few hours, even minutes, in one short plane ride, but doing so will deprive you of the scenic montage of vast cornfields, picturesque country roads and colorful villages when you take the bus. Bus travel remains a practical alternative to long distance trips and it can be an enjoyable experience if you know how to avoid the common glitches associated to it. The buses of today used for long distance trips are no longer the same cramped and uncomfortable tin foil of a vehicle of yesteryear's

Travelers looking to completely abandon the urban world often avoid popular Hawaiian tourist hangs like Waikiki, and instead choose to embrace the rural comforts of Hawaii’s numerous less populous locales. About an hour’s drive from Kahului airport on the island of Maui lies Napili Point Resort , an idyllic vacation hideout tucked along the coast of secluded Honokeana Bay. Though no more than a 15-minute drive from the busy strip of hotels along tourist hotspot Ka’anapali beach, Napili is heavy on nature’s finest ingredients and enjoyably light on human distractions. A long flight from the east coast on the mainland left me sapped of energy when I arrived in Maui near sunset; the perfect state of mind for drifting asleep to the soft sounds of waves breaking just outside our seaside condo. Waking up just a few hours later to a beautiful pink sunrise resting atop dark morning clouds, we witnessed a whale’s full vertical breach just a few hundred yards from shore, and sea turtles floating calmly in the bay, proving that Hawaii is one of those rare places on earth where it seems like Mother Nature still runs the show. The coastline along the perimeter of Napili Point is made up of steep rock ledges, soft surfaced tide pools, and smooth sandy beaches. Snorkeling in the bay proves most rewarding, as the experience makes you feel a part of a marine wildlife exhibit, with an abundance of fish, eels, sea urchins and giant sea turtles inspecting you as you drift in the warm water. If you prefer to stay above water, head to downtown Lahaina, an old fishing town transformed into western Maui’s hub for whale watches, deep sea fishing, snorkeling excursions to nearby Molokini Crater, and many other marine adventures. When you’re done with your activity of choice, lazy window shopping along downtown Lahaina’s Front St

Aside from the fact that it weighs just slightly more than a pound, is just under an inch thick, and boasts a battery life that will get you across the country (or the Atlantic , for that matter) without a problem, the iPad is also a breeze through security.
