>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>WHERE'S JOHNNY JET?<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
I'm speechless. I still can't believe the Yankees lost, because I thought it was meant to be, but I guess it wasn't.  I just wanted one more championship! Oh well, the good news is I did get to take in a game at Yankee Stadium.  Yeah Baby! The World Series! My brother and his buddy Sean treated me to game 5. (which was the last game of the year at the stadium, and the first game ever for MLB in November!)  What a great experience, except the fact that my bro made me leave in the bottom of the ninth  with two outs so we would avoid traffic. What a mistake! Wouldn't you know right when I walked out, Brosius hit the miracle homer. I turned around and tried to re-enter but security wouldn't let me.  I was so ticked, yet happy.  Anyway, I was lucky to go and I can't be upset with Frank because if it wasn't for him I wouldn't of been there anyway.
Only in NY: During the moment of silence you could hear a pin drop until some dude yells "FREEDOM!", and then from the other side someone else yells A--HOLE!

That wasn't the only sporting event I went to this week.  I visited Madison Square Garden to see the Rangers play the Dallas Stars.  If you want to go to a game just show up 5 minutes before it starts and scalp a ticket. I did, because I needed an extra ticket for my Dad and it only cost $20. The face value was $45, not bad, huh?.  It was a great night not only because the Rangers won, but Amber and I made it on the big screen. Tip: Eat at Ranch 1 instead of the other concession stands in the Garden.

Halloween was my favorite holiday growing up, and the big reason was for where we lived.  Connecticut really brings out the best of October 31st. Walking down our street you can just smell all the leaves, it's hard to explain but trick or treating in New England is really a great experience. Amber and I carved pumpkins, then took my niece and nephew trick or treating. We had so much fun!  It was just like the old days except slower because we stopped and chatted with all the neighbors. My sister, brother-in-law, brother, his girlfriend and my Pops joined us to make it a fantastic night.  Our lane is really dark and spooky because there are no street lights and watch out for all kinds of characters including this 3 headed witch. When it was all done Uncle Johnny Jet had to test all the goodies just too make sure they weren't laced :-).

Friday afternoon I attended Business Traveler Magazine's (See Website of the Week) annual Travel Awards at the Plaza Hotel in NYC.   It was a great chance to run into old friends (Jackie works for BT), and meet a lot of new ones!  Including the NYPD  and Queen Noor! Not to mention eat a fine meal and find out who won the top awards for the travel industry.  Most people have to wait until January to find out who won, but since I was there I can tell you the big winner was Singapore Airlines for best overall airline and United for best Frequent Flier Program. Congratulations!

TIP OF THE WEEK:   By Chris McGinnis
QUESTION:
 I am a Travel Administrator . We have always used a corporate travel agent to book our corporate travel.  However, due to the September 11th Tragedy, our agent increased our service fees to $25.00 per ticket plus $25.00 to do an exchange or a void.  Needless to say, our management is not very happy with these increased costs, even though it's beyond the travel agent's control.

Last year, based on a $15.00 per ticket service fee, our company spent $19,000 in service fees.  They want me to now book everything on the internet.  We have over 35 travelers that I book travel for during the week.  Booking travel on the internet for 3 or 4 people is okay, but for a large group it's extremely time-consuming and difficult.

Do you know of any other options for saving money while booking corporate travel?  I've tried MYOBTravel.com and do not like it - it's not user-friendly at all.  All travel agencies seem to be charging fees.  Is there a corporate website that is user-friendly who will let you store each employee profile and securely store their credit cards?

Thank you,  Norma W

ANSWER FROM CHRIS:
 My advice to this lady would be to tell her to gently insist that travelers wanting to avoid travel agency fees start booking their own travel on airline sites, or MYOB (which is designed for travelers to make their own bookings, not the travel administrator). The reality of the situation regarding the evolving role of travel agents is that with declining airline commissions, there is no free lunch. Business travelers are going to have to pay good money for the luxury of using travel agents, or they are going to have to do the work themselves.

GOOD TO KNOW!
When Airlines Go Bust, Where Do Your Miles Go?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
All the airlines have been staggered. Some will probably never recover.
What can frequent flyers do to protect their miles in the event their airline doesn't have what it takes to get through these trying times? Should they do anything at all? Hard-to-answer questions. We explore some options at http://frequentflier.com/ff101801.htm
