Greetings!

I hope you had a wonderful long weekend! We have a lot to be thankful for, including Mother Nature. I also think we need to give the airlines praise as they've done a fantastic job turning around their horrible operations from the spring and summer. Have they finally realized that it only hurts them when they overschedule aircraft and crew?

If you missed out on Black Friday deals, don't worry because most are still available and tomorrow is Cyber Monday so there are lots more bargains to be had.

📱 INIU Portable Charger
Flight attendants say they never leave home without a portable phone charger and that's a great tip for all travelers. This popular charger is 57% off for Cyber Monday so it's a great time to grab one for yourself (or another one as a back-up) or for a holiday gift. Check out the deal here.

🧥 Scottevest Vests and Jackets
I've written about Scottevest vests, jackets, pants and even underwear before - they're great for travelers. The vests and jackets can act as a secret third carry-on when you travel. They're offering great deals for Cyber Monday, up to 30% off. Check them out here.
