After spending the night in New York during my Qatar Airways Mileage Run I woke up early and took the subway back to JFK airport for my next Qatar Airways flight back to Doha. Once at JFK and through security I found myself in the duty-free area within JFK’s Terminal 7. As I had about an…
After a short layover in Doha on my way from Vietnam back to the US it was time to board Qatar Airways’ Airbus A350-900 for the 14 hour flight from Doha to New York (JFK). I specifically chose this flight so that I could fly Qatar Airways’ newest aircraft opposed to taking the Boeing 777…

After a series of three positioning flights to begin my 2017 American Airlines Mileage Run on Qatar Airways I finally made it to Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam. I opted to arrive in Vietnam nearly 24 hours before the start of my journey because I wanted to make sure that no matter what, I wouldn’t…
To begin my outrageous Qatar Airways year-end mileage run (to earn American Airlines AAdvantage status) I needed to first get to Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam.
