Overheard on my Alaska Airlines flight this morning
I love Alaska Airlines, and it’s no secret. We’re fanboys of the airline for sure. Living in Seattle it makes it quite easy to hop on flights to wherever we need to get to, and their customer service is second to none. The miles that we earn have a ton of flexibility and they are currently the only US airline to give you a mile for every mile flown. That last point alone is enough to make sure that Alaska earns our travel dollars. But...
How we upgraded from Business to First on Emirates
Earlier this year, Alaska Airlines upped their redemption rates on one-way tickets with Emirates. They took a lot of flak for doing so, especially for doing so with no advance notification. Luckily, Ben and I made a reservation 2 days beforehand from India back to the USA. We booked it at 90,000 miles each way, and now the cost has risen over 66% to 150,000 miles For me, even the increased price is WELL worth it, as the service is...
London to Athens, British Airways A321 (old BMI)
Many many moons ago there was this great little airline called British Midland, International, aka BMI. When I think of BMI, it’s usually Body Mass Index, so when I heard there was an airline called BMI, I steered away. Apparently so did most people because it was absorbed by British Airways a few years back. They did have a few really cool planes however, including a few A321 aircraft with a very interesting configuration. Usually...
Seattle to London, British Airways 747 Club World
We were admittedly a bit concerned when we approached SeaTac airport, as it’s one of the airports where the security lines we have noticed reached hours in wait time. Since this was a BA operated flight, we wouldn’t have any PreCheck available to us, which meant regular lines for us. Our saving grace however, as we noticed the lines WERE long but not unbearable, was that we were able to access the premium line. From luggage drop off...
Flight 10 of 10, SFO-SEA, Underwhelming Delta #NMCLaborDay
The time has finally arrived, our last flight in the #NMCLaborDay mileage run to end all mileage runs. We’re beyond tired and sore but it was all worth it! We headed back once again to the Admiral’s club in San Fran for a quick coffee and muffin before heading over to Terminal 1 to catch our Delta flight. We almost headed out of security but I asked the TSA officer how to get to Delta’s gates and he turned me back...
Flight 9 of 10. UPGRADED! AA Trans Con, #NMCLaborDay
As part of our SEA-SFO-LAX… ok you know the trip by now, we booked our way back from LAX-JFK in business class on board the new A321T, but when we exited the airplane, we noticed how freaking awesome the first class cabin looked. We decided that it would be pretty awesome to get ourselves into those seats! A quick call to to the Platinum line and 15,000 miles later, before you knew it, we were sitting up front! What a...
Flight 8 of 10, ORD to JFK, Almost Home! #NMCLaborDay
Eighth flight, AA 737-800, service makes the difference! After an underwhelming visit to the Flagship lounge in Chicago (every club in the system seems to be undergoing renovation right now) we headed down 5 gates to get on our flight from Chicago to JFK. Boarding was already underway, and so we headed to the Priority line and were waived through without incident. Once onboard we were greeted by Zelina, our awesome flight attendant...
