Tripso

Do you know who Christopher Elliott is? He is Tripso’s editorial director who gives phenomenal travel expert tips and advice, solves travel problems, and comments on trends and news within the travel industry. He’s written numerous travel articles for CNN.com, MarketWatch.com, MSN, The New York Times, ABCNEWS.com, and USAToday.com, but some of his best material can be viewed on his personal site elliott.org.

So, why do I like him so much?

Some of the core reasons why I enjoy Elliott's writing style over other travel writers is because he keeps his material real and relevant (... with a twist of his own humour thrown in!). From advice on how to handle the recession to dealing with unfriendly airline staff, Elliott is your go-to man for everything travel-related.

Here are a few of my personal favourite Elliott entries (taken from his blog):

“You have no idea what this tube of toothpaste could do to a plane”

The real reason airlines still serve free drinks

Southwest Airlines: Sorry, your lost bag never existed

Rapping flight attendant: Why shouldn’t in-flight announcements be fun?

Absurd: your airline ticket costs $60; your baby’s ticket is $1,280
