Beantown Trolley Video

May 30th, 2008 by ben c

We have a new video up starring the Beantown Trolley Tour. You can pick up tickets for the bus right next to the Boston Common. It was an amazing way to get around the downtown and Cambridge area. Instead of paying for public transportation with the T, why not take the trolley, take in the sites, and listen to a funny guide tell you interesting tidbits and stories about the city? It works just like public transportation too, since you can get on and off at any stop you want, at any time during the day. If you’re visiting Boston, and you’re a multitasker, this is a great way to get the sightseeing out of the way while you’re headed somewhere.

Boston Duck Tours Video

May 30th, 2008 by ben c

Hey everyone, I’m beginning to upload videos all over the internet about the Go Card. You can find them on Youtube, Flickr, and other popular sites. We’re not going to make you scour the web, though. I’ll post them right here! Check out this video about the Boston Duck Tours.

Those satisfied Go Card customers visited Boston all the way from Utah. They found the card online and saved a bunch of money. By the way, another hint if you want to ride on the Boston Duck Tours for free, but don’t have a Go Boston Card: bring a giant camera and tell them you’re filming for Go Boston Card. It worked for me! If you liked the video, leave a comment, or check out other Go Card videos using the video player.

Travel Tips for the Airport

May 1st, 2008 by will n

Logan Airport

I recently took a trip overseas and came across some interesting concerns. First off I had a 5:00am flight out of Logan, which I was informed I had to be at the airport no later than 3:00am. Do we still need to be at the airport that early? Has Logan had any efficiency improvements?

Early Arrival - Arriving at 3:00am I was one of the first people in line to check in. This may be worth getting in early for as you will have first dibs for seat changes or any potential free upgrades. Keep in mind that airlines are barely making any money nowadays and will do anything to make sure that every flight taking off is at capacity. Thus, it is common for flights to be overbooked, so the last person checking in has a high chance of being bumped.

Carry on Luggage- If possible, avoid having any carry on luggage. I know this may be tough for the ladies, but it will surely speed up the security process. This was extremely helpful when making a closely scheduled connecting flight.

Gate Numbers - You may also want to figure out the gate numbers before arriving at the airport. This can easily be found on the Logan or airline website. It surely made my trip easier as I didn’t have to search or ask for directions. (more…)
