For those of you who follow this blog regularly you may have already noticed a theme. That is, this year, I’ve been to Asia… a lot. Looking back to earlier this year I’ve already been to Hong Kong three times. My first visit was back in January 2019 when I flew over in Premium Economy…
A few months ago I decided to upload my collection of boarding passes into the Flight Memory website. For those who haven’t heard of Flight Memory, the website is a place where users can save their flights. The website stores data such as the airline flown, flight number, seat, aircraft, flight time, etc. Once you…
Well, I’m a few months late on this, but I was going through old emails and I found one from American Express that stuck out. Earlier this year, in February to be exact, American Express sent me a year-in-review with my new Rose Gold card which I found entertaining. I’m not sure why but I…
One of the most common questions I get from family and friends is, “where I can I find these flights?” Usually the question comes after I talk about how I flew to Asia or Europe in business class for less than they paid to cross the US in a middle seat. However, the answer isn’t…

After spending a few days in beautiful Sydney it was time to head over to Auckland for the second half of our trip. To get to Sydney my girlfriend and I took a “unique” route; the United States to Hong Kong then down to Sydney in Singapore Airlines New Suites and Old Suites. For the…
Well, 2019 has been shaping up to be an interesting year. I went into this year thinking that I would be doing minimal flying. That’s relative because I’ll of course fly over 100,000 miles to re-qualify, but I thought flying beyond that would be limited. However, I’ve actually been doing a quite a bit more…
A few days ago I hit publish on yet another post where I discuss the Citi Prestige card. In that post I went through some of the benefits of the refreshed card, but also considered how it would fit into My Wallet. In that post I compare the Citi Prestige card to the Chase Sapphire…
When planning our trip to Sydney my girlfriend and I decided it would be fun to go through Hong Kong in order to fly Singapore Airlines Suites class. We especially wanted to fly in SQ Suites to finally experience the famed double bed in the sky. Luckily, when we searched for flights we found two…
