Noted travel writer Arthur Frommer released his New Year’s resolutions for travel that include these promises to change his ways:
1. I will limit myself to carry-ons, and never check a single bag;
2. I will carry sandwiches from home, and never bite into a single airline snack;
3. I will use public transportation from airport into town;
4. I will never book a connecting flight; if there’s no non-stop to my destination, I won’t go there (with some exceptions);
5. I will share courses with my wife, ordering a single main plate for the two of us;
6. I will stop patronizing “duty-free” shops;
7. I will never book an uncomfortable “boutique hotel” designed by a famous fashionista;
8. I will never use a credit card that doesn’t earn frequent flyer mileage;
9. I will never board a cruise ship carrying more than 700 passengers; and
10. I will remain calm and unperturbed by refusing to read the travel section of the New York Times.
