Jackie in Trenton, NJ asked on Twitter: Are families with children eligible for the PreCheck TSA system?

No, unless your family and children are mega-million milers themselves. This program is dedicated to the big fliers out there. The are for travelers who are members of the frequent-flier programs and have mega-million miles in their accounts.

Kelly asked on Facebook: It’s a big year for Britain this year. Is there much interest in the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in the U.S.?

Not really. The reason for that is we’re still trying to recover from the wedding of Kate and William last April! However, there is something happening in the first weekend of June and I’ll be over there for it because it’s very, very cool.. On June 2, they’re going to have 1,000 boats on the Thames to celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee. That is a photo op I don’t want to miss.

They’ve also got the Olympics in London this year. My advice: Don’t go during the Queen’s Jubilee or the Olympics. Go the week after. You’ll have all of the UK to yourself. They have all those rooms to fill and they have no idea how to fill them. You’ll go and get a deal. You don’t want to go to the Olympics…I’m sorry, but the only time I go to the Rose Bowl if my team is in it. (And I’m sick of that because I’ve gone two years in a row and they’ve lost both times!) Just watch it on TV—it’s a better seat and a better experience. OK, if you can actually score a ticket to the opening ceremony and you’ve never been, yes, go. But don’t mortgage your house in the process.
