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…
After a fairly short Delta flight from Atlanta to New York we parked at JFK’s terminal 2 and I was one step closer to my Singapore Airlines Suites flight to Frankfurt. I quickly made my way to the tarmac bus transfer station and took a short bus over to terminal 4. Once in terminal 4…
Shortly after finalizing my award bookings for my Star Alliance First Class Weekend I was on a Delta flight to Atlanta.

The other day I shared how I started earning points and miles through credit card spending and sign-up bonuses. I decided to share my start to show readers how my wallet has evolved from when I first started. That post also highlights some of the mistakes I’ve made over the past few years.
