Alaska Airlines introduces Scan and Fly
If you have ever impatiently waited in line to check your bags at the airport, then this will be great news for you. We usually don’t have to wait in line at all when checking in at SEA (or any other airport, really) thanks to our MVP Gold 75K status with Alaska Airlines, but for everyone who doesn’t have any status, this could be a really good improvement. Alaska Airlines just announced they will be conducting a pilot...

Zambezi River Cruise, Zambia
As we only had a few days left in our trip, and just three days, two nights in Zambia in particular, we didn’t want to just do nothing. So we decided to book a River Cruise tour of the Mighty Zambezi River instead, which would allow us to wine and dine while at the same time requiring no extenuating activity from out part. We booked it once again from Euma Tours, who arranged a hotel pickup not too long after we had arrived to...
Suite Presidencial – Sheraton Libertador Buenos Aires
Debido a nuestra visita a Rio de Janeiro para los Juegos OlÃmpicos, y ya que nos vimos obligados a transitar por Santiago de Chile para poder llegar, decidimos hacer una escala de unos dÃas en Buenos Aires (ya que nos quedaba de paso) y disfrutar unos dÃas en esa ciudad tan linda. También nos dio una oportunidad de experimentar un producto premium de AerolÃneas...
Have grill? Can’t travel!
One of my most favorite guilty pleasures has been following FakeSkyMiles and Fake Oscar UnitedCEO on twitter. But one of my most recent ones has definitely become even funnier than the fake accounts and the best thing is, this one is not a parody! Enter @AskTSA on Twitter. The account aims at helping people sort out the sometimes puzzling reality of going through security screenings, from the ‘can I bring my Glock into the...
Review: Sheraton Libertador Buenos Aires
Since we were in Rio de Janeiro for the Olympic Games, and we’d gone through Santiago de Chile to get there, we figured we could do a stop over in Buenos Aires – since we were soooo close anyway – and enjoy that beautiful city. Also, it gave us the chance to try an amazing Aerolineas Argentinas premium product. We had previously stayed at the InterContinental, the Holiday Inn Express, the Hotel Two and the Sheraton...
AR2295 – Rio to Buenos Aires, No Class
I had high expectations for this flight since I had flown Aerolineas Argentinas multiple times in economy class but never before one of their premium products. I couldn’t have been more surprised! We booked our Club Condor class tickets through Delta at 25K SkyMiles SkyPesos each ticket one way for our friend Bruce and myself, and Jon paid $500 for his – yes, I CRINGE as I type that out but it was the...
Giant Butt Blimp goes Down
The largest flying object ever designed went down on its second test flight. The Airlander 10, which is over 300 feet long, almost 45,000 lbs and is filled with 1,340,000 ft3 of helium, sustained a rough landing during its second 100 minute test on Wednesday in Bedfordshire. No one in the crew or ground was injured and the plane blimp vehicle giant butt-shaped aircraft sustained minor damage on its rear… No, I’m kidding,...
