About a year and a half ago American Airlines introduced a new safety video. The video was part of a much larger marketing campaign to introduce the new American identity following the US Airways merger. Personally, I’ve never really liked the new safety video. The whole video seems a bit cold, especially when compared to…
So, I know what you’re thinking, of course it is, and you’re right. Mileage Running is perfectly legal, but that doesn’t mean that customs agents aren’t going to give you a hard time when doing it. Over the past few months my international travels have increased exponentially. In the past year I’ve been around the…
I’ve been using Bose headphones for the better part of a decade now. Since my first pair of Bose QC2s I’ve owned the QC15, QC20, QC25, and now QC35 headphones. I’ve also had two sets of Bose SoundSport wired headphones. Overall I just love Bose. While their products are a bit on the pricy side…
I’ve spent the first part of 2018 trying to come up with a few aviation related goals. For starters, I want to review one or two OneWorld Partner Airline’s First Class products. I’ve already booked one flight in Qantas First Class for later in the year and am trying to decided on which other airline to…
Every now and then I like to share little snippets of things I see when traveling. I especially enjoy sharing stories of “things not to do when traveling” based on first hand things I’ve seen. A great example of this is a prior post about not eating fruit in a customs line where they’re asking…

If you’ve ever been on a commercial airline there’s a good chance you’ve heard this phrase before. As some point during the safety video or demonstration you’ll hear some version of the following; “Make sure your mask is secure before helping others.” Here’s an example from United Airlines. I’m sure you’ve heard this announcement several…
Earlier this morning I received an email from American Airlines. The subject of the email read simply, “Your Year In Review.” When I opened the email I found a Thank You note from American Airlines which thanked me for remaining loyal to the airline for another year. The email also included a few statistics that…
If it’s not already obvious, I’m obsessed with airline travel. For myself I usually truly do enjoy the journey more than the destination. I rarely start planning a trip with a destination in mind. Instead, I scour the internet for flight deals. When I locate a deal that intrigues me I book it. I’ve been…
One of my favorite past times is watching anything aviation related on television. The Smithsonian channel often has fantastic segments called “Great Planes” on which they discuss the history of the most important aircraft in the history of aviation. Smithsonian also does a great series called “Air Disasters” in which they document various incidents throughout…
