How to Book a Nested 2-in-1 Trip

We’ve seen countless cheap premium cabin fares from Europe to the US. However, cheap flights from the US to Europe seem to be much less common. That’s great for people that live in Europe, but doesn’t really help you if you live in the US. Buttttt you still want in on some of those sweet, sweet premium cabin deals. Are you out of luck? NO! Of course not! What do you mean by a “nested 2-in-1 trip”? Before...

Are Delta Agents Empowered to Lie on the Phones?

Companies make most information available on their websites for you to do your research on your own without calling the phone agents. When you can’t find what you need however, you should be a able to dial in to your trusty customer service representatives to get an answer. Twice yesterday I called into Delta to have them help me with something and was blatantly lied to. This isn’t the first time this has happened nor will...

Booked: The World’s Cheapest (and Most Obscure?) Business Class Redemption

We recently shared a post about how to get a credit card as an expat. It’s a pretty simple way to continue earning American Express Membership Rewards while abroad and something I’ve personally taken advantage of. From that, we’ve earned over 50,000 points on our Gold Card in less than a calendar year. 20,000 of those points came from the sign-up bonus, while the rest has come from spend. I’m not cheap to feed....

How To Get A Credit Card As An Expat

The problem Moving to another country is an exciting time. However, it can also be very stressful. You have to worry about finding a place to live, making new friends, and figuring out how everything works in an unfamiliar environment. Figuring out your credit card situation is probably pretty low on your list of concerns. After all, you probably have at least one credit card with no foreign transaction fees. These are great if you...

Which Routes Have Qatar Airways Qsuites?

Qatar Airways Qsuites is widely regarded as the world’s best business class…at least for now. It’s easy to assume that if you’re flying business class on Qatar, you’ll end up in Qsuites. However, that’s far from the case. Within their own fleet, Qatar’s business class configuration ranges from the highly desirable Qsuites, to 1-2-1 reverse herringbone, to 2-2-2 where not all seats have...

The Most Powerful Feature of the British Airways App… that you’re NOT using!

As the general public moves away from desktops and onto mobile devices, the need for companies to develop powerful apps has grown. No longer is the mobile version of a website going to suffice for most users. Airlines in general have been slow to advance beyond booking trips, managing bookings, and seeing your mileage balances. British Airways has come leaps and bounds ahead of its competition with this amazing feature that every...

How to Upgrade with miles to First or Business Class on British Airways

Yesterday we posted about an amazing Premium Economy fare from the West Coast to parts of Europe, which seem to be few and far between as of late. While Premium Economy is fantastic (much like a domestic first class seat) flying in Business class or First class is even better. Knowing how to move up to those forward cabins is the secret to how we almost always fly in premium cabins at a fraction of the cost. Let’s walk through...

What Happens if You Have an Issue With Your Airbnb?

It’s something that we all dread. You’re on vacation and something goes wrong. Maybe the shower won’t drain, the Wi-Fi isn’t working, or you’re in Motley Crue and a TV found its way out the window. If you’re staying at a hotel, the procedure is pretty straight forward. You call the front desk and let them know. If it’s the hotel’s fault, they’re usually pretty quick to rectify it....
