Airport lounge access can typically be restrictive and confusing, requiring elite status, exclusive memberships, or premium credit cards. TravelMint fixes that by improving lounge access for everyone, with intelligent search, real-time availability tracking, and user-generated reviews. That helps everyone find the best lounge, regardless of travel status, ticket class, or airline.

David Cicarelli said: “Airports are often synonymous with stress, long lines, and uncomfortable waiting areas. TravelMint changes that by providing travelers with an effortless way to access premium spaces, ensuring their journey is calm, elevated, and enjoyable. Our mission is to make airport lounges more accessible for everyone, removing unnecessary barriers and simplifying the entire experience.”

How one dad traveled to 30 countries with two kids under 4 (and stayed sane)

Tamiz Ahmed

Traveling with kids can feel a little overwhelming, even for those of us without any! Honestly, there are days I can barely get myself through airport security without a minor meltdown (mine, not a toddler's). So it’s completely fair if the idea of navigating international airports, jet lag, and public transport with little ones in tow feels like a lot. But here’s the thing: being nervous about family travel doesn’t mean you should skip it.

To prove just how doable, and even fun, it can be, I chatted with Tamiz Ahmed, seasoned family traveler and Co-Founder of bootstrapped baby registry Poppylist. Tamiz is a tech founder and dad of two kids under 4, and somehow, in just four years, he and his family have managed to visit 30 destinations around the world, from Japan to Portugal, Australia to Denmark.
