A few days ago I wrote about an amazing fare I booked with Qatar Airways from Philadelphia to Kyiv Ukraine. It’s one of the first time I’ve ever seen Qatar Airways offer business class fares from the United States for less than $2,000. The only issue with this particular fare is the required minimum stay.…
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…
Earlier this year British Airways announced that the airline would be flying the massive Airbus A380 between Chicago and London. This aircraft shift is part of a summer seasonal service which has since ended. Thankfully, the A380 service is expected to return in April 2019. While British Airways was flying the A380 to Chicago I…
Well, it’s hard to believe but the end of the year is just a few weeks away. With that most of us have a pretty good idea of where we will land in terms of airline elite status. However, many of us will realize that we’re “right there” and will miss the next tier or…

Typically I don’t pay much attention to emails like this. In this case though I am…
Hello and greetings from Munich! Those are words I didn’t expect to type yesterday morning during my 2 hour ground delay in Chicago. As you might recall from previous installments of this live blog trip report, I nearly missed my flight to London yesterday. Missing that flight would have been catastrophic so I’m quite thankful…
At this point in the journey I had just left my Lyft from New York’s LaGuardia airport to New York’s JFK airport. The ride took just over 40 minutes and cost about $35. Although the price wasn’t terrible, American would have covered the cost had I booked this trip as a single itinerary. Instead, since…
British Airways is one of the few remaining international carriers which operates the magnificent Boeing 747. In fact, not to long ago British Airways announced plans to overall their fleet of 747s rather than introducing plans to replace the aging aircraft. However, in time, British Airways 747s will end up in the boneyard. Until then,…
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…
