In San Francisco, after watching the Cavs win their first NBA Finals, the PreCheck line seemed significantly longer than the already long regular line. I had never seen that before and was almost tempted to join the regular line with my brother JJ who didn’t have Pre-Check. I stuck with Pre-Check though and finished a full half an hour before he came through security. … [Read more...] about DDFB Question Of The Day: Global Entry Or TSA PreCheck?

Guest Post: Halachic Zmanim In Polar Regions On The Kosher Antarctica Cruise
Reb Yaakov Emden first posed the problem in the eighteenth century, albeit with regards to the North Pole. The issue was debated by a number of Poskim of that era, but the matter then receded into the background, presumably because the issue was not of a practical nature to most people. It was revived only in recent times, when modern travel made such questions practical. The most celebrated example was when Colonel Ilan Ramon, the first Israeli astronaut, joined a crew of NASA astronauts aboard space shuttle Columbia, which circled Earth once every 90 minutes. This meant that the astronauts experienced a day-night cycle every 90 minutes, and a “week” of seven such cycles lasted a mere ten and a half hours from start to finish! Would Ilan need to keep Shabbos every half day? (Even so, the issue of Shabbos observance in orbit is a somewhat opposite reality than Shabbos observance in the polar regions; at the Poles, the shift between daylight and darkness takes much longer … [Read more...] about Guest Post: Halachic Zmanim In Polar Regions On The Kosher Antarctica Cruise

But if you might need to fly it’s worth hedging that bet for the cancellation penalty of $5.60 each way. … [Read more...] about 1 Day Left Until British Airways Avios Devaluation; Info On Changing Dates After 02/02 And On Transferring Points To Iberia Avios
