He made nine celebratory drops, seemingly without injury. And if you’re heavily covered by an ironclad insurance policy, you can do that, too. For most of us, though, we’d rather do our flying inside a plane, even if it’s crowded and uncomfortable. But there’s good news! Major air carriers, in their quests to be more profitable, are actually coming up with affordable individual upgrades, which you can cherry pick to enhance your flights. Delta is leading the pack by offering extra comfy seating, more individual floor space with adjustable foot rests, and generous snacks in their coach sections on many long haul flights. Also if you want a comfortable break between flights, you can purchase an affordable day pass to Delta’s air club where you’ll find the hidden delights of a complementary buffet, luxury seating and resting areas, computer hook ups, hot showers, news and weather updates, and delightful hosts who will even keep you apprised of the status of your next flight. 46 So when my husband Ray and I decided to host a European tour, Collette’s Spotlight on Tuscany tour with Florence, Lucca, Siena, and more was a natural choice. Plus, we’ll actually be under the Tuscan Sun, and there’ll be no pesky packing and unpacking. We’ll be staying in the delightful spa resort town of Montecatini in a four star hotel just a short walk from the charming city center. In fact, one of my best friends, Iris Newman, who already had the good sense to take this trip, has told me that exploring Montecatini, meeting its locals, and enjoying spontaneous casual gatherings at the end of the day were unexpected trip highlights.
