Senior photographers: Selfie Could Get You A Freebee


Those expert self-portraits of your face shot while posing at a luxury hotel’s entrance, garden or ballroom could be worth something. Now called braggies, they could earn you a free night or more for your next travel venture. Post it on a social website, such as Facebook, and the grateful hotel chain may reward you for it.

Several cruise lines and other travel-related sources offer similar promotions for creative photographers. Check with your travel agent and search the internet for braggie/selfie contests and awards. For more info, go to www.yahoo.com/travel/are-braggies-the-new-selfies

Southwest Says No Refunds For No-Shows PDF Print E-mail


SW Airlines now enforces a no-show policy. Passengers are still permitted to make ticket changes at no charge. However, SW must be notified at least 10 minutes before a scheduled flight.

Previously, passengers could opt to miss their flights and later apply the credit for future ones. SW hopes the new rule will discourage inconsiderate passengers who book several flights, and then take the most convenient one. This too often creates empty seats and revenue loss to the airlines.
