The airline’s claim is that they will be more fuel-efficient and safe from in-air glass breakage. Also, there will be fake windows that show continuous video screening of pleasant air and ground scenery.

Your travel4seniors.com editor has reservations about it. He enjoys watching the real take-off, in-air and landing scenery. Of course, if the fuel savings bring on lower ticket prices, he’s all for the fake windows.

Shell out $1,700 to buy a private photo shoot on site in Toontown or Cars Land. You can share the price when you bring seven other other snappers, and you'll get into the park an hour before opening. Your tour will include a pro photogger to show how to do it right. If Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and/or Pluto are there, you gotta pay extra to foto them.

OK, so you don’t wanna pay so much to foto Disney characters? Just haul your camera or smartphone to Hollywood Boulevard or New York’s Time Square. There will be many (illegally) costumed as Mickey and pals. You can shoot them for free, but it would be nice to offer a buck or two for the privilege.

A Southwest Airlines jet from LA to San Francisco made an emergency landing in San Jose. A passenger was caught smoking in a john, causing the immediate order to land the flight. The offender was met by local police and hauled away to face charges.

Of course, all the other passengers had to scramble around the airport looking to complete their interrupted journeys. Let’s hope the nicotine addict was appropriately punished, and SW paid mucho dinero to the the passengers who suffered the delay that day in San Jose.

The website asked travel-savvy readers to vote for its annual Travelers Choice Awards. Angkor Wat, the ancient temple in Cambodia, won for the second straight year.

Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay was tops in the USA, and No. 8 in TripAdvisor world rankings. Of course, everyone is much more eager to see Al Capone’s former residence, rather than such uninteresting American locations as the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone Park, Statue of Liberty, Independence Hall, Lincoln Memorial and Mount Rushmore.
