In order to fly Lufthansa First Class back across the Atlantic I had to connect. When I looked though Lufthansa’s First Class availability on the United website I found a few flights that connected in New York and a few flights that connected in Washington DC. All of the DC options required a change in airports so…
After an extremely short trip to Frankfurt (4 hours) it was finally time to head home. I originally planned on booking either a paid flight on OneWorld or an award economy flight with United. Instead I decided to fly Lufthansa First Class home on the beautiful Boeing 747-8i. I opted to fly Lufthansa First Class…
After an incredible flight on Singapore Airlines Suites Class to Frankfurt it was almost time to turn around and head home. I would have loved to stay in Germany longer than a few hours, but sadly I had an obligation on Monday morning and had to go back to Chicago. I didn’t really think this trip through…
After a long day of traveling to New York from Chicago via Atlanta, it was finally time to board my Singapore Airlines Suites Class flight to Frankfurt. Prior to my flight I enjoyed complimentary access to the Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse since I was flying Singapore Airlines Suites Class. After a light dinner, a few drinks, and a hot shower…
Shortly after finalizing my award bookings for my Star Alliance First Class Weekend I was on a Delta flight to Atlanta. Luckily on this trip I finally had time to visit the Delta Sky Club located in Atlanta’s Concourse F. Atlanta is one of the biggest airports I’ve ever been to. There are currently 6 different concourses,…
I have been searching for an amazing chance to use miles and points ever since I started collecting them a few years ago. Over the past few years I’ve used miles for hotels nights, a few domestic flights, and to buy some merchandise (stupid)! Until this last-minute trip I had never used points for an “unforgettable” experience.…
If you’ve ever flown on a commercial airline flight I’m guessing you’ve heard the somewhat repetitive request to keep your seatbelt fasted when in your seat. Flight crews constantly remind passengers to keep their seatbelts fastened during all phases of flight. This often includes during cruise while the seatbelt sign is off. Over the past…
First off, I want to start by explaining that I’m not complaining. The flight from EWR to ORD was less than two hours, I don’t really care about sitting in domestic first class, and United did a great job handling my situation. I’m writing this because of how absurd the whole thing is and because this…
After an amazing week in Paris it was finally time to come home. I originally booked our flight home on American’s newly retrofitted 767 aircraft, but weeks before departure American swapped the plane to a 787-800. I originally selected our flight because of the 2-4-2 configuration in economy, but the swap meant a 3-3-3 configuration. Once I noticed the change…
A short while ago everyone’s favorite travel blogger, ThePointsGuy, wrote about his issue with American Airlines’ new EQD requirement. Essentially ThePointsGuy’s issue with American’s new EQD requirement is with Special Fares. Because he’s booking through Amex travel, he’s earning EQD based on miles flown rather than the cost paid for his tickets. Over time he figures he’ll end…
