Winners in the NoMasCoach Swag Giveaway!
Hello again! And welcome to the drawing for the Swag Giveaway. We wanted to have a little welcome-to-BoardingArea giveaway when we first went live, and what better way than doing this? It’s been a couple of weeks now, and we were trying to figure out how best to compile the results, and we think we’ve got it. Lo and Behold, here’s the winners! In no particular order: Jim from Arizona Jonathan from...
Zambia: Walking with Rhinos
Since our visit to Kruger National Park in South Africa, I had been dead set on seeing rhinos, at least from a shorter distance. It turned out it wasn’t meant to be until we got to Zambia. It is worth noting that in 2010, the population of white rhinos in Zambia was a shocking total of 1. Yes, ONE. Thankfully, the country sprung into action and relocated 4 white rhinos from South Africa to Zambia’s Mosi-oa-Tunya...
The Journey to Victoria Falls…
In continuing our African Journey, we headed from Nelspruit to Victoria Falls to experience something that made Niagara Falls look like a runny faucet. South African Airlink, much like Skywest with Delta, runs some of the shorter flights inside South Africa and beyond, and the flight itself wasn’t too much to write home about. A coach only flight, the seats were pretty cramped and the service basic, but at a total price of...
Eating our way through the South African Bush
One of the best parts of traveling to a new country is getting to sample some of the local food, and what better way that going to a small, out of the way, locals only restaurant in the middle of the bush?

Flying Private – Truly a NoMasCoach experience
It wouldn’t be a truly No Mas Coach experience if we weren’t able to share an experience that truly is not coach at all… flying private in Europe. We headed to Paris this year for Christmas to see a good friend of ours. The plan originally was to stay for three days in Paris and then head down to Malaga, stay for a night, and drive the coast of Spain up and into Valencia for New Years 2016. As the dates approached, he let us know that...
Amazon giving away free money on Prime Day!
As I was reading through my morning’s dose of posts, I ran across Frequent Miler’s post this morning about Prime Day and Amazon’s money grab. Today only, when you buy an Amazon eGift Card for $50, Amazon will send you a $10 promotion code in your email in about two business days. The catch? You have only until August 27th to use the $10 promotional credit… but if we’re being honest, is it really...

Hilton Luxor Hotel and local Tours
Hilton Luxor Hotel and Tours Luxor is a quick one-hour flight down the Nile from Cairo, but it couldn’t be more different. Its not nearly as populated, not nearly as crowded, and the ruins are completely different from those in Cairo and Giza.

Guess who’s going to the Olympics?!
Well, WE are! In a very interesting plot twist, a friend of mine managed to get us Opening Ceremony tickets (obrigado, gato!) and we have decided to attend, which means we had to cancel our plans (and tickets!) for our trip to Helsinki, Tallinn and Saint Petersburg. As this is a last minute change of plans, we had to do our best to secure flights down to Rio, which as you can imagine is not easy given that this is an extremely popular...
Insane 787 Acrobatics
We all know how awesome the Boeing 787 Dreamliner is. But did you know it could do these crazy tricks? In a video released by Boeing on their social media accounts we can see what their pilots are practicing for the 2016 Farnborough Airshow. Some of the moves, in particular the touch and go are apparently not allowed on the show anymore, as it was banned by British aviation authority. So this video is our only opportunity to see them:...
