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.
