Looking for inexpensive travel? Try sleeping in airports; other travelers are doing it too! Sleeping in Airports is a site dedicated to helping the budget-conscious satisfy their wanderlust. It features traveler reviews, photos and videos about the best and worst airports to sleep in and how. Who knew airport slumber parties would catch on?
Wired.com bought Brendan Ross, Wired.com’s Terminal Man, the wildly popular JetBlue AllYouCanJet Pass, under special conditions: If he’s off the plane he can’t leave the airport, meaning no hotels. He must fly every day during the month-long pass time limit to complete nearly 68 flights. Read more about it in Ross’s blog, Autopia, on Wired at the link below.
