What to know when flying intra Europe’s low cost carriers
We flew Volotea from Naples to Palermo for its low 55-euro price, including priority boarding. Despite a solid pre-flight experience at the Pearl Lounge, the journey was plagued by a disorganized boarding process and a significant delay due to paperwork. It’s an affordable but frustrating necessity for this direct route.
Marriott vs. European Boutiques: When is the Points Redemption Actually Worth It?
On our trip to Paris and Naples, I utilized Marriott Bonvoy points for redemptions averaging 50,000 points per night. I found great value in the central locations and excellent breakfasts. Highlights included receiving a "courtesy room" for a post-flight nap in Paris and enjoying rooftop views in Naples.
