Gatwick Testing New Boarding Process
Boarding an airplane can be one of the most stressful parts of the travel experience. People start crowding around the gate before the boarding process even starts. Once the process begins, even more people rush up to try to get space in the overhead bin.

American Express Didn’t Post my 35% Platinum Card Rebate – Now what?
One of the fantastic features of the American Express Business Platinum card is the 35% rebate on Business and First class flights when you redeem your membership rewards.

That all sounds great on paper, but what happens when the points DON’T post like...
Free Money: $50 from SoFi Money
Typically when somebody says free money, you run the other way. There’s a catch, something is too good to be true, and you end up walking away with less money than you started with. As much fun as I’m sure grifting must be, I’d rather tell you about a way where you can actually get money with no strings attached.

In the ongoing saga of on-again-off-again Emirates route between Barcelona and Mexico City, it looks like we finally have some good news. A little background To describe Emirates route between Mexico City and Barcelona as a soap opera might be selling it short. Emirates initially announced their intentions to fly the route in 2018. However, Mexico wouldn’t grant Emirates as many slots as they’d hoped. As a result, Emirates...
Lounge Review: Aspire Lounge, Heathrow Terminal 5
Terminal 5 is Heathrow’s newest terminal. Opened in 2008, the terminal exclusively serves British Airways and Iberia.
