The Not So Secret way to Alaska Airlines First Class upgrades

Ever walk onto a plane and see all those people sitting in the first few rows of the airplane, sipping a pre departure drink, not burdened by uncomfortable seat cushions and wonder “How the hell did they get up here?” I know you have, because I hear it all the time when people walk by us to coach… “Hey Larry! Hey Larry! Look at these big comfy seats! Are these ours?”  No Susan, you’re back in...

Nepal Airlines Review, Flight from KTM-DEL

There are three airlines that fly between Kathmandu and Delhi, one of which is Nepal Airlines. Some other day we could probably find a flight on Jet Airways and Air India, but having the opportunity to fly on Nepal’s flag carrier seemed like an opportunity we didn’t want to miss! Nepal Airlines only operates with a fleet of 10 aircraft, only two of which are A320’s which they...

London Air Traffic Control to move 80 miles away from Airport

When you fly into an airport, pretty much any airport in the world, you’ll see the control tower. Inside is, you guessed it, Air Traffic Control! But just outside of London’s downtown lies LCY, or London City airport. It was opened just over 30 years ago and handles about 4.5 million passengers each year, the majority looking for stress free access to London and the financial district. The control tower at London City is...

How we used Credit Cards to get One Free Month at a Beach Resort!

PLEASE NOTE: THE HILTON DEAL HAS SINCE EXPIRED Credit Cards are probably the easiest way to earn points and miles in a hurry. Usually, you can earn 1 mile or point per $1 spent, but a lot of the cards give you 2, 3, 4, 5, even 12x the points per dollar earned. It may sound crazy, but there are ways to stay completely free, for up to a MONTH, at a 5 star beach resort, and not pay a dime. Whether you can get a full month off from your...

ITC Mughal Kaya Kalp Spa Review

The ITC Mughal Kaya Kalp Spa is just another addition to the long list of reasons to stay at this hotel when you’re in Agra.
