The End of an Era
After many great years, it’s time to part ways with the building that has been the heart of Mihelin Travel Bureau for the past 34 plus years.
While it is a bittersweet moment, we're ready for new beginnings. Thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) could soon rule on whether or not airlines will be able to make passenger seats even smaller.
Congress in 2018 directed the FAA to issue rules for minimum dimensions for passenger seats that are necessary for passenger safety. The FAA undertook a number of simulated emergency evacuations to see what the minimum seat size could be while also keeping passengers safe in the event of an emergency.
Now, ahead of the ruling, the FAA is asking for public comments, which could influence the final say.
“The FAA seeks public comment on the minimum seat dimensions that are necessary for passenger safety,” the FAA said this week.
The FAA wants to allow airlines to pack cabins as much as possible as long as the maximum seat capacity of the airplane can be evacuated to the ground under simulated emergency conditions within 90 seconds.
That could potentially allow seats to get even smaller, which could further exacerbate the pain people with disabilities or those with children or pets experience during travel—the seat pitch, width, and length of passenger seats on aircraft could all be dictated by the ruling.
According to the office of New York Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who is leading calls for public comments on the FAA ruling, legroom has dropped from 35 inches prior to airline deregulation in the 1970s to about 31 inches today. Airline seat width has also dropped, going from 18.5 inches in the 1990s to about 17 inches today.
The FAA it will not make a ruling until it allows for public comments through Oct. 31.
“The FAA invites comments on minimum seat dimensions necessary for passenger safety,” it said.
It is not requesting comments “regarding matters unrelated to the agency’s determination…such as how the dimensions of passengers seats might relate to passenger comfort or convenience,” it said.
Rather, it wants to know how smaller seats could impact safety during an evacuation, in particular how it could impact those passengers with children or with disabilities.

TRAVEL TIP TUESDAY:
Flying this summer is ROUGH!!! I feel like as a Flight Attendant I should attempt to share some tips to get you through airline travel for the foreseeable future. ✈️✈️
1. Things are not good..... if its less than 7 hours - DRIVE! I'm not kidding. There is nothing enjoyable about flying right now. On any airline. If you must fly, keep reading. 🚗
2. Download and use the app of the airline you are flying. You can do everything on it - get your boarding pass, track your bags, see your incoming plane, and change a flight. It sure beats waiting in the long line to talk to an agent! Trust me - Usually these apps will tell you a flight is cancelled before the crew even knows! 📲
3. Fly MUCH earlier than you need to - a whole day early if its important!! This week I saw many people miss important things like weddings, funerals, cruises, international connections, and graduations. The tears were very real, for very real reasons, and there was nothing I could do! If you have to be somewhere, spend the extra money, go a day early. Have a glass of wine and stay in a hotel, enjoy your night not being stressed while everyone else misses their events. 🍷
4. ALWAYS fly the first flight in the morning so you have all day to be rebooked if the s**t hits the fan. Yes, that means it might be a 3:00 alarm, but morning flights don't cancel nearly as often.⏰
5. This is not unique to this year, but keep in mind summer is thunderstorm season. A single storm can shut down a whole airport. We can't fly through them. Storms usually build as the day gets later. Book early flights! ⛈
6. Schedule long layovers - Your 1 hour layover is NOT enough anymore. 30 minutes, not a chance. 3 hours minimum. 🏃♀️🏃🏃♂️
7. What you see on the news is an understatement. We are short staffed and overworked. Not just pilots and flight attendants, but also ground crews. Without ground crews there is no one to park the planes, drive jetways, get your bags on/off planes, or scan boarding passes. This causes many delays that snowball throughout the day. Sometimes HOURS.(Another reason morning flights are best!) 👀
8. When flight crews get delayed we time out. We can NOT fly longer than 16 hours. Its illegal. So it doesn't matter if you have a wedding to get to, when we are done we are done. The way things are now, there are no back up crews, so when this happens your flight cancels. (Now you are starting to see why those morning flights are best!) 😴
9. Avoid connecting in Newark. It is literal hell. You have a 50/50 chance your flight will cancel or missing your connection. They have been cancelling flights at their starting points just to keep the planes out of Newark because there just aren't enough people to manage the planes, so the gates stay full. Also the restaurants are expensive, it is not a great place to be stuck. 💩
10. Be nice. As stated above, we are overworked and tired. We will not help you if you are mean. No one cares that you are going to miss your cruise if you are an as***le. So even if we can help, we will save our help for someone nice. Tensions are high. Our patience is gone. If you make us mad - you will not be flying on our planes. We will leave you behind without a second thought, and laugh about you later. 🥰
11. Being drunk on an airplane is a federal offense, so don't overdo it. If you drink too much at the bar waiting for your delayed flight you risk not being allowed to fly at all. We are too tired to deal with your drunk ass when we have legitimate issues to deal with. 🍻
12. Get trip insurance if you have a lot of money invested. I hate the whole idea of this, but I also hate the idea of losing money. Example: I was working a flight yesterday that waited over an hour for a gate. A family of 8 missed their flight to Rome. The only flight of the day. They were going to a cruise which they would now miss. They were all crying, there was nothing I could do. (Also a reason to fly a day early!) 🛳
13. Flights are FULL. If you buy the cheap seats you will not be able to sit with your family. It says so when you purchase your ticket!! Flight Attendants aren't there to rearrange the whole plane just so you can sit with your family because you tried to save $100 on a third party website. 💸
14. Speaking of third party websites and saving money..... Like I said flights are FULL. If a flight is oversold, and no one volunteers to give up their seats, who do you think is the first to be bumped? You guessed it, the family that saved a few $$ by using sites like Expedia, Kayak, Hotwire etc. 🤷♀️
Happy Travels!
