In the leftover holiday spirit, now we want to know your best experience while sitting next to a stranger on a plane. Did someone help you when you needed a hand, or show some generosity when you least expected it? We want to know your best airplane...

Coffee Fest Seattle 2009 was held downtown at the Washington State Convention & Trade Center September 25-27. This was the first coffee-themed show for the tugo team, and we knew it was going to be fun… …and it was! The smell of fresh pulls started shortly before the doors opened each day, and lasted until the final attendees filtered out. The energy was high (perhaps due to the availability...

Where else do you end up in a confined space, sitting elbow to elbow with someone (or two people, if you are the unlucky middle seat!) you have never met for an extended period of time? This situation can lead to some extreme but...

We are lucky to have had a lot of interest in our new tugo product, and have had great feedback from a wide range of bloggers and publications. One of our personal favorites, however, has to be the online magazine from KLM Airlines called iFly. In their special summer edition, the tugo was included in their “Travel Goodies” section. Following are snapshots of the company the tugo keeps. Allow us...

Convenience. During my “dwell time,” that time once through security spent waiting at the gate, the tugo makes shopping, walking and sitting easier because then I don’t have to juggle my coffee along with all my other belongings (usually a rolling bag, purse, laptop, jacket, ticket, travel pillow, and of course my coffee!). Conversation. It never fails to draw comments and attention while...

tugo luggage drink holders and the folks at Fli, LLC are consciously making decisions to make the smallest environmental impact possible. From the very beginning the only option in our eyes was to use a material for the product that is made without phthalates. Phthalates are mainly used to increase the flexibility, transparency, durability and longevity of plastics, and are being phased out of many products...
