Alaska Airlines flights to Havana now Bookable!

Havana has been one of those destinations that has fascinated the American public for generations. It’s been off limits to Americans who didn’t want to take flights to Canada or Mexico first to get there, while non-Americans have been enjoying the island nation non-stop. Well, luckily things have changed for the better! We posted many months back that the US DOT gave permission to Alaska to start flying to Havana from Los...

Alaska Airlines introduces Scan and Fly

If you have ever impatiently waited in line to check your bags at the airport, then this will be great news for you. We usually don’t have to wait in line at all when checking in at SEA (or any other airport, really) thanks to our MVP Gold 75K status with Alaska Airlines, but for everyone who doesn’t have any status, this could be a really good improvement. Alaska Airlines just announced they will be conducting a pilot...

CHECK YOUR EMAIL: Travel agency goes bankrupt, strands passengers

Imagine that you’re at the airport, boarding your plane to a far flung destination, perhaps a honeymoon or well deserved family vacation, and you get an email stating that your hotel, transfers, and potentially all activities have all been cancelled, so deal with it.  What would you do?  In today’s digital age with confirmations galore, how could this happen? Well it happened last month for tens of thousands of people, and...

Why we aren’t using Delta’s mileage sale

Delta has been come under a lot of pressure lately for removing their award charts from their website.  I mean, seriously.  Who the hell doesn’t show you how much you’re paying for something until you’re at checkout? Usually only lobster or expensive seafood is “market price,” but as of late, it seems that with Delta, even flights are changing prices at a whim. So call me crazy for not wanting to jump on...

Man lands on Moon, gets confused about airlines…

Via The Points Guy yesterday, Buzz Aldrin headed to Nepal for the first time! He’s heading to speak to a group of students at the Everest Science Center in celebration of National Science Day.  He instagrammed a picture of himself heading to Nepal in, you guessed it, Emirates First Class.  Because once you’ve been cramped in that small Apollo 11 capsule, then you absolutely have to have a little more room!   Heading...

What the !@%# is wrong with us Americans anyway?

I caught myself reading this article from the Washington Post a week or so ago titled “Are you a Work Martyr?” and it caught my eye. I’ve never thought of myself as one, but apparently most Americans do. This Labor Day, with most people taking a well deserved day off, I have one question.  Simply put, what the !@#% is wrong with us Americans? Two weeks on average. That’s the average most full time employees (including us) get for...

Delta throws 10% off (along with some shade)

Ok, this is starting to get really old.  ONCE again, Delta takes the Battle in Seattle one step closer to being ridiculous. Since 2011, Alaska Airlines has offered a program called Club 49.  This program was created by Alaska Airlines as a way to give thanks to the people of Alaska for supporting the airline for over 80 years.  In their own words: Club 49™ is a free program within Mileage Plan™ that offers additional benefits for...
