American Airlines is launching new nonstop seasonal service starting in May from DFW to Rome and Amsterdam. The service complements existing European service to …
This is perhaps my favorite type of post to write about because I get to show off some of my favorite landscapes :). There is no denying the benefit of having a fantastic scenery at your doorstep or from the comfort of your hotel room both in terms of time …
