Here is some of the best travel news and notes from around the Internet:
- There are many #avgeeks that try to get on an “inaugural flight” for a particular airline, aircraft or route. Personally, I have not yet bothered with that, but I enjoyed One Mile at a Time’s writeup of whether you should bother with an inaugural flight

We were just in Rome last month but actually didn’t take any taxis (we got around on foot and by subway or bus).
