👋 Greetings!

It's mild here in LA so I'm happy to be on the west coast right now. Hope everyone's staying warm out there! There are plenty of tips and stories this week so scroll down to see them all, including unbeatable fares between California and New York, expert advice for anyone who's planning a trip to Europe this summer and 30% off select Scottevest items, thanks to their anniversary sale, running now until February 8.

✈️ Today's Travel Outlook 


As of 9:35 am PST, there have been 67 canceled flights to, from or within the United States and 1,503 delayed. Here's a link to the up-to-date stats and a live look at the FAA's National Airspace System Status. Here's what to do during weather delays and flight cancellations.

🧳 Scottevest Anniversary Sale


Scottevest is a former sponsor and a brand I'm still a big fan of. Their multi-pocket jackets and vests can hold enough stuff to act as a secret third carry-on and the pants, shorts and shirts and pullovers are all multifunctional, making them perfect for travel. If you've been thinking about investing in a Scottevest product, now's the time! They are currently offering 30% off select items in their anniversary sale, which runs until Wednesday, February 8. Get all the details here.

❤️ Valentine's Day Solved


When we first started dating, my wife lived in Toronto and I lived in Los Angeles. Whenever she visited, I would take her to all around LA to discover new neighborhoods and to try new restaurants and bakeries. She quickly fell in love with SusieCakes in Manhattan Beach so imagine her delight when their PR team reached out and offered to send a Valentine's Day cake. Their cakes and cupcakes really are delicious and now, they're offering shipping across the continental United States. So, if you're looking for a great treat for someone special this Valentine's Day, consider SusieCakes. Check out Natalie's story here.

 TRAVEL TWEET OF THE DAY

@jonostrower: This is the second major runway incursion incident in a little over two weeks. The entire U.S. air traffic system is throwing off serious warning signs of being exceedingly fragile, understaffed (ATC & airlines) and over capacity as demand continues to surge.
