Rio 2016 – NoMasCoach style!
As many of you, our loyal readers know, we had the opportunity to head down to Rio de Janeiro just a few weeks ago for the Rio 2016 Olympics. We booked everything fairly last minute so it’s quite a miracle that we managed to get everything lined up so perfectly. Over the next week and change we’ll bring you some of the reviews of the first and business class products that we flew along with some first hand...
Zika Prevention for Rio 2016
So here we are, en route to (being en route to being closer to getting to) Rio de Janeiro for the Olympic Games. As we sit on the Delta Sky Club lounge in Atlanta, we wanted to share with you how we made sure to mitigate the risk of contracting Zika while we’re down there. As much as we love supporting Team USA (and Team Argentina and Team Italy for that matter), we don’t want to come back with a nice Zika surprise....
Latest AARP Discount Update with British
A few weeks back, we broke the news here that British Airways was increasing their discounts on economy and premium economy flights with the AARP discount. Well, I guess all good things must come to an end… Now, according to both the AARP page and the BA page, the discounts have reverted back to normal. But wait, did you see that last part? In the last post, all travel must have been booked by July 31st, effectively...
Guess who’s moving NOW at LAX?
LAX is a great airport, but it really is a fustercluck to get around and move between terminals. There are underground passages, a separate international terminal, shuttle buses to get from one end to the other. It’s not one of my favorite airports to connect if I have to change airlines, that’s for sure. Well apparently Delta feels the same way, as they’re looking to make a change too. I was reading...

US House to propose Cuban flight ban
In what should come as no shock to anyone, 4 members of the US House of Representatives have proposed legislation to ban flights heading to Cuba. Why? Because Congress… Under the guise of increasing the fear mongering campaign in the USA protecting Americans, 4 members of the House (3 republican and 1 democrat) are calling for a law to ban flights to the island. Chance of passing? 0%. The Obama administration sees the...
BREAKING NEWS: Is Pan-Am Relaunching?!
Pan American World Airways, aka Pan Am, was the largest carrier in the United States until its demise in December 1991. Many people think Pan Am relates back to a better time when flying used to be prestigious and cherished experience.

United will serve Illy Coffee Onboard
Not that anyone would choose to fly them anyway, not even for their better than average coffee… But hey, I commend United on trying to upgrade from the pretty nasty caffeinating experience travelers have to go through when flying. While I do know that it is a fact that taste buds are affected by pressurization and dry air, as well as noise levels, I also know for a fact that airlines, especially in the US, have never...
