During my Qatar Airways business class mileage run one of the things I looked most forward to was visiting the exclusive Qatar Airways Al Mourjan Business Class lounge. The lounge is only available to those traveling in Business Class with Qatar Airways or a OneWorld partner. Sadly, OneWorld elite members don’t have access to the lounge…
Somewhere near the middle of my insane Qatar Airways mileage run I found myself back in Doha, Qatar for the second time in as many days.

To begin my insane Qatar Airway mileage run for AAdvantage Executive Platinum status I first needed to get to Vietnam. It took nearly a full day of flying and a fairly tense bus ride, but before I knew it I finally arrived at the Renaissance Riverside Hotel Saigon. I’d be in Vietnam for about 20…
I don’t want to jinx myself (maybe I shouldn’t write this down), but I’ve only missed one flight in my entire life. Nearly two years ago now I missed a flight from Chicago to Atlanta which continued on to Miami. That trip was one of my first Mileage Runs and ended up being incredibly stressful.…
