JohnnyJet

Welcome to the ultimate hub where travel aficionados come together to share their insights and knowledge, helping you become a travel pro. This platform is not just about learning; it's a space to have fun, discover new places, and relax. I started this newsletter and website as a personal project. It all began when I reached out to a few friends who loved to travel and wanted to accumulate mileage like I did. We challenged each other to see who could rack up the most miles, and after surpassing them (having traveled an impressive 150,000 miles a year for the last decade), I decided to lend a helping hand. My initial emails provided them with tips on which numbers to call for earning double miles or points. As my creativity grew, so did my email list. I began adding features like travel tips, live webcams, and valuable travel websites. Soon, I received requests from people I didn’t even know, wanting to join my distribution list. When my subscriber count hit 500, I realized it was time to create a dedicated website. I saw that while there were many helpful sites out there, none had everything I needed in one place. With countless travel bookmarks that I couldn’t easily navigate, I organized them all into one user-friendly portal: The Johnny Jet Portal! This website is designed to connect travelers with all the resources the internet has to offer, whether you jet-set every week or travel just once every few years. It has become the go-to destination for thousands of travelers. Those who contribute to Johnny Jet share my passion for travel, and together we uncover the best ways to travel efficiently, comfortably, stylishly, and affordably. Spread the word and encourage your family, friends, and colleagues to subscribe to our free Johnny Jet Travel News, Tips, and Stories newsletter (here) and make use of our search engines when planning their trips.

Why You Should Avoid Taking a Hot Shower After a Flight and What to Do Instead

1 week ago | johnnyjet.com | Johnny Jet

After a long flight, the first thing I want to do is head straight to the shower. In fact my post-travel ritual goes like this: Toss my clothes into the laundry, then take a long hot shower, often in the dark if it’s late, to relax, decompress and rinse off all those nasty plane germs. Sound familiar? Well, I just read an article on Islands.com that’s making me seriously rethink that habit.
