United Airlines Cancels More Flights

United Airlines is still recovering from weekend storms that buried them Chicago. They had to cancel dozens more flights Thursday as another storm is predicted to lay a blanket of 20 inches of snow on Colorado. This is the second major storm since Christmas.

United, the largest airline at Denver International Airport, is canceling dozens of flights to divert planes from passing through Denver and then being stuck there.

Green Hotels Growth Continues

Our green hotel guide continues to expand as we near the end of the year. We have over 3,000 places rated and many hundreds more to come. We have recently been adding the rating icon and information to each regular listing as well. So even someone who isn't looking for a green hotel will see it in the city pages and maybe it will spark some thought and consideration.

We are currently getting more and more information on RV Parks that are interested in this as well. We just haven't quite set something up yet for them. Do we include them and just make it an overall green lodging of any kind guide? Or do we keep them separate? One could argue that camping in general is more green. But then you factor in the types of RV Parks out there and the gas guzzlers using them, and it's not so green. But we're not rating guests, just the establishments.

And should we give hotels negative ratings for extreme carelessness? This would probably be made up of golf resorts and casinos at the start.

Let us know what you think.

American Airlines Flight Reschedules

American Airlines is allowing passengers to re-schedule their flights at no charge right now. They hope to alleviate some of the hassles at airports during this December snow storm, now hitting the northeast. Kudos to them for doing something decent ahead of time.

Our travel resource contact page has information for all airlines, rental cars and trains.

Walmart Pushing Green Trucks

Wal-mart, with the second largest truck fleet on the road, is pushing semi manufacturers to build a hybrid truck. They hope to be testing the first models in 2008.

We only mention this because of our green view point and the fact that we have our overnight parking guides which includes Wal-mart.
