Greetings from the United Polaris Lounge in Chicago O’Hare! I want to start out by letting you know that I’m doing things a bit differently this weekend. In the past I would take an entire trip, sit on everything for a few days (weeks), and eventually post my trip report. However, this weekend is different. This…
Often the most easily overlooked way to earn airline miles quickly is dining programs. Many people new to the world of miles and points don’t realize you can link your credit card up to an airline dining program. By adding your credit card to a dining program you can earn extra miles on top of…
During my OneWorld Twice To Oslo trip I spent quite a bit of time in London Heathrow airport. This gave me plenty of time to visit several OneWorld Frequent Flyer lounges during each of my layovers. On each trip while heading east to Oslo I spent much of my time in Terminal 3 visiting the Qantas…
Let me start by saying I generally hate travel blog giveaways. Sorry, but that amenity kit you’re pawning off is trash. With that, I’m going to hold my first “giveaway” which is, well, stuff from an amenity kit… Specifically, I have three (3), $100 off a Cole Haan purchase of $300 or more, discount codes.…
During my OneWorld Twice To Oslo I purposely planned two long layovers in London Heathrow airport. I spent much of the first long layover in the fantastic Cathay Pacific First Class Lounge. For my second long layover I decided to visit another one of the several OneWorld Lounges in Terminal 3. This time, I chose to…
I want to start doing things a bit differently on Sunday. While I love writing posts reviewing airlines, lounges, hotels, and credit cards I don’t think it helps me connect with you (the reader). So, going forward on Sundays I want to write posts that help you better get to know me and pull back…
During my two trips to Oslo I ended up booking two fairly long layovers in London. I did this to protect myself in case of missed flights or delays, but also to give myself plenty of time to visit a few lounges in the airport. See, London Heathrow offers some of the best OneWorld lounges in…
To begin my OneWorld Twice To Oslo trip I needed to first get to London. For both trips I ended up booking the exact same flight East across the Atlantic. With each transatlantic crossing I booked American Airlines flight 98. I specifically booked this flight for both trips for two very specific reasons. The first…
One thing I often forget about writing a points, miles, and travel blog is what it’s like to not thing about miles all day long. I’ve long forgotten the early days of trying to navigate the world of miles and points. Because of this I often forget that your average person probably doesn’t think too…
A few days ago I wrote about how Barclaycard US was working on changing its name to simply Barclays US. I personally am a big fan on the change as I never really loved the name Barclaycard. In my prior post I make the prediction that we would see a whole new app website design…
