Mainly, back in 2009, Cambria actually just had a lot of B&Bs, nowadays though, there are many different hotels, specifically the Colibri Boutique Hotel, which is breathtakingly beautiful!

air_hostess_lead_narrowweb__300x4480Now that we have talked about how you can check into your flight online, it is now time for you to pick your seat.  If you want to upgrade, make sure that you do it before you go to the airport – as you might end up on a waiting list otherwise.  If you want a specific seat, there might be a fee but you could absolutely change your seat to get the one that you want before you even leave for the airport.

Next, you want to make sure that you pack your carry-on items with airport security in mind.  Make sure that you keep your liquids and laptops in easy-to-access places, as they will have to go through the scanner by themselves.  You also want to make sure that you dress accordingly.

That means that you need to have shoes that you can take on and off easily and that you do not have a belt that is going to get in the way on.

Aloft Dallas Downtown HotelWhen it comes to hotels – the constant waiting for a hotel to open is something that many people hate.  Well, finally, the Aloft Dallas Downtown Hotel has opened its doors and it is going to be the first from the brand to actually open up in Dallas proper.  While there are three other Aloft properties nearby, there are none in Dallas.

The building for the Aloft Dallas Downtown Hotel is actually a historic building.  Its former lives involved an eight-story structure that was built in 1924.  It used to be a railroad terminal and a dry good warehouse, now the hotel is there.  Aloft kept a lot of the buildings original features, including the beautiful brick exterior.

The rates themselves start around $159.00 per night and they are so worth it!  This incredible hotel is beautiful on the outside and inside and it includes free internet!  What could be better?
