Airline Rules Contested
The papers today suggest that the announcement: “You must stay in your cabin and class of service”, is not actually an airline rule! However if you breach instructions and ,heaven forbid, push back the curtain or use the business class toilets, yikes, staff might strong arm you. Suggestions here:
1. Get all names of staff involved. If they say they will contact the captain write down his/her name as well. Be discreet.
2. Record witnesses’ statements on your phone.
3. Send a certified letter to the airline asking for an apology- they will not compensate you so just go for the apology then tell the world.… -

Where is The Women's Travel Club?
Some history: The Club was founded by Phyllis Stoller in 1992. It grew into a national organization with accolades and awards. In 2006 Phyllis sold the Club to ABC Destinations, a group tour company.

We reopened as The Women’s Travel Group, same people, same themes with a slight twist. We are now offering longer, more in depth tours with ‘smart itineraries’. We are the only women’s travel group to identify this new untapped area: college educated women who want to learn as well as have fun and who want a more comprehensive tour about the country and its people.…
