The Secret Way to Score Delta One to Australia for Half the Skymiles
It’s no secret that flying to Australia using your miles is the unofficial Holy Grail of award travel. Airlines are notoriously stingy with releasing space because they know that there just aren’t that many good options to get there. We recently ran across a way to have space “open up” on those long haul flights with Delta Airlines in their Delta One business class cabin using just a little magic and some good...
A Perfect Storm of Problems cause MAJOR delays at Sea-Tac Airport
For the past two days, a bit of travel “hunger games” has been going on at Seattle’s Sea-Tac airport. Seattle has been experiencing ridiculous amounts of rain and combined with a quasi baggage “strike” and holiday travel overloads, the travel experience has been a disaster. Flooding has been rampant all over the city and with fog and low ceilings, airport operations are limited or slowed. An...

Bullshit: No Airline Is Selling Manifests to Criminals
In light of the incredibly irresponsible post and later resharing of that post about the two British tourists attacked at gunpoint in Buenos Aires, I felt compelled to write this up to make things clear. Yes, a British tourist, Matthew Gibbard, was gunned down when he resisted during an armed robbery right outside the Faena hotel in Buenos Aires a few days ago, along with his stepson who was injured but survived. Are airline employees...

The Never-Ending Status Dilemma
When you think elite status, you probably think upgrades, lounge access, priority check-in, and top-notch treatment. The higher status you hold, the better treatment you get. That all that sounds great, so why wouldn’t you want to hold elite status with an airline? Unfortunately, just focusing on elite status can overlook another important part of the equation – airline miles. While elite status comes with some great...
The Sky Is NOT Falling: Thoughts on Hyatt’s New Award Rates

Hyatt is making some changes to their award chart. While many bloggers got their posts quickly (and good ones at that), I decided to take my time. That’s not to say that there’s anything wrong with that approach. I...
