Suddenly, poof! After a few chapters of my audiobook, (also located on my phone) I had reached my destination. I couldn’t help but think about how far travel technology has come in just a few short years. Where would we be without the evolution of travel?

Whether you travel frequently for your job, or travel once a year for a big vacation, frequent flyer programs may be beneficial for you. These programs reward a person with travel benefits based on the number of miles they fly on certain airlines. Rewards can include free tickets or free seat upgrades.
