The Handy Item I Always Pack: "A lacrosse ball. It's small, lightweight, and works wonders on loosening up tight muscles."

Ultimate Bucket List Experience: "Being the first to discover an ancient lost city. Failing that, visiting as many of the already-discovered ancient ruins as possible."

Travel Motto: "Not all those who wander are lost." -J.R.R. Tolkien

Aisle, Window, or Middle Seat: "Aisle."

US Airways stopped sending its weekly last-minute e-Savers newsletters about a month ago, reports the Washington Post (registration required), in order to focus its efforts on its merger with America West. The airline now says the weekly fares will return by June 22.

Don’t expect huge bargains on those fares when they do return, however. Heading into the busy summer travel season, there just aren’t enough empty seats—especially on the most popular routes—to merit large discounts.
