Hilton San Jose Downtown, Hotel Review
We had a bad Hilton experience a few months back. It isn’t worth repeating and isn’t very blog worthy, however, we did get a free night certificate anywhere in the Hilton portfolio of hotels as compensation. Because Hilton is not our main hotel chain, we were perplexed on where and how to use it. For our recent trip to Hawaii, we couldn’t find any decent upgrade space on Alaska...
ERROR FARE! San Francisco or Los Angeles to London, $1498 Air France FIRST CLASS
Quick post here guys, as there isn’t too much more to say. Just get on this one quick as possible. Don’t think. Don’t call. Don’t ask the wife or husband, just book the damn thing. Right now, through the end of the schedule, you can get a ticket on Air France’s First Class Le Premiere for only $1500 round trip to London.

Island Air’s Final Day, Flight Review
Island Air’s last day was November 10, 2017, and we were lucky enough (or perhaps unlucky enough??) to have purchased a ticket on their final day of operations. Emotions were running high for everyone involved. Ground crew was taking pictures, flight attendants were crying, and a large amount of passengers were none the wiser. We landed into Honolulu from San Jose, CA and only had about 75 minutes to make our...

Another In-Flight Sexual Harassment Case
And here we are again, with another case of a woman sexually harassed in flight. Only this time, we believe her. As news broke last night that another woman had been sexually harassed by a passenger during a flight, I couldn’t help but feel even more disgusted than I did when I wrote my earlier post about the same topic. But as soon as I started digging into what happened, some things started to create noise. I first found...
Delta Removes Earning Charts from their Website
If there were awards to give out to airlines in 2017 for ineptitude and lack of transparency, Delta would win every one! In the past couple of years, Delta has done everything possible to make earning and redeeming SkyMiles as opaque as possible. I was looking to upgrade my flight from Coach (uggggh) to First Class today, but I wanted to know how many MQM I would earn for doing so. Remember that when you pay to upgrade your seat to...
