Double Miles on Aerolineas Argentinas’ Club Condor
Aerolineas Argentinas, the national flag carrier of Argentina, is offering perhaps their most generous promotion so far. This comes after the airline got pretty close to winning a few of the categories they were nominated for during the Freddie Awards. Any Aerolineas Plus members traveling between Buenos Aires and Miami or Buenos Aires and New York have the chance to get double the miles if they fly in Club Condor class –...
Athens British Airways Galleries Lounge – Hold it in!
In a surprise move to no one, the BA Galleries lounge in Athens airport closed last year. It kept going on a downward spiral very, very fast. In addition to old, dirty, jaded and flat out humiliating furniture for a major airline, things didn’t really improve from then on. But one of the more surprising things about this lounge isn’t the disgustingly bad furniture or the horrible service. In fact, its lack of one basic...
Begpacking – the latest trend in white privilege!
In what seems to be the latest trend of travel white privilege run amok, apparently there has been an uptick of ‘begpacking’ around the world. For anyone who’s wondering – just like I was before I came across the term- a ‘begpacker’ is apparently mainly a traveler from a western country who decides to backpack, but since they don’t have a lot of funds to do so, they resort to begging. I learnt this after I ran into this LeMonde...
Fly the UnFriendly Skies – United Drags Passenger Off Plane
After a rather terrible PR coverage a few weeks ago, United went ahead and screwed up even more. News broke today that a passenger was forcibly removed from an overbooked flight causing outrage among the millions who have seen the videos. The issue came up after the airline, which is in the business of overselling their seats in hopes that they wouldn’t incur in any losses in case of last minute cancellations, found themselves in need...

Virgin Atlantic Seattle to London New Route
Virgin Atlantic’s new route London to Seattle started today, and we were there at SeaTac to see it all happen. Take a look!
Emirates vs Etihad: Battle of the Seats
Once again we’ll start this post agreeing that when it comes to First Class and luxury, the Gulf carries are most definitely the way to go, as they offer more than any other airline does for similar routes. From their top notch champagne and caviar service, to their on demand meals and their spacious seats and suites to the million amenities, one can’t help but feel pampered at 40,000 feet in the air. But when it comes to...
Huge Alaska Airlines Virgin America Merger News
Alaska Airlines just announced their vision and plans for the future of the airline after its merger with Virgin America in their latest blog post. Here are some of the Alaska Airlines Virgin America Merger changes coming soon. The words they used to describe the vision for Alaska Airlines is “fresh” and “modern”, which I’d say is about all Alaska Airlines has been needing for a while, and something I was...
Emirates vs Etihad: Battle of the Showers
There’s no doubt that both Emirates and Etihad are two of the most luxurious services in the air, but here’s a deeper look at their on-board shower services to see how they stack up against one another.
St Pancras Renaissance Hotel – Haywood Suite
As is our default whenever we visit London, we booked ourselves a Junior Suite at the St Pancras Renaissance Hotel. Not particularly because this is a default hotel, since this really couldn’t be anything further from a standard hotel. For anyone who doesn’t know which hotel we’re talking about, you may have caught a glimpse of it in the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets movie when Harry and Ron aren’t able to make their...
