My son flies a corporate jet all over the country. He’s also flown people to the Bahamas & Bermuda too. A lot of times he has to stay overnight and has stayed in anaheim california hotels, hotels in the heartland, on the east coast and in those lovely vacation spots and many other places.
I’m so jealous. I have traveled a lot but as I’ve mentioned here so many times I want to go someplace where the weather is warm and the water is crystal clear. I just hope I’m able to do that before I’m too old to enjoy it.

When hubby and I travel we do get discounts. These discounts come because we’re old! *kidding* We do happen to have AARP membership cards. A lot of people think that because you belong to AARP that you’re old. I even thought that way for awhile but having that card can get you discounts at motels/hotels when you travel.
You can save anywhere from 10% to 25% on motel/hotel rates. That card helped us out nicely on our trip to Texas last year. You can also get good savings on rental cars too. If you are 50 or about to turn 50 then you should look into AARP and start saving!

My oldest son is a pilot. He was flying commercial regional jets for a number of years and we, as his parents, got to use his flight benefits. I have gone to Germany twice for only $25 each way and I’ve flown a lot of places in the US for nothing. He has since changed to flying corporate jets and no longer has those wonderful benefits. I really miss them.
As a pilot he was put up in different hotels when he had an overnight layover. He’s stayed in hotels in many different states including vegas hotels. Now he gets to fly celebrities around to many other places and he’s really excited about his new job.
