After my connecting flight from Chicago to Los Angeles (LAX) I decided to quickly stop by the Terminal 7 United Club location. Although I’m not too familiar with United Club locations it’s my understanding that the Terminal 7 United Club is the best United Club location lounge within LAX. For that reason alone I figured…
Greetings from Doha, Qatar! I’m exactly halfway through my insane American Airlines premium cabin mileage run. I’m in Doha because of an incredible Qatar Airways business class fare sale from Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam to the United States. As you can guess there’s one small issue with this particular mileage run; it begins in…
A few days ago I wrote about a major improvement to the United mobile app. United’s app update now allows passengers to check-in to flights with partner airlines booked through United. Additionally, ticketed and checked in passengers may also retrieve a partner airline’s mobile boarding pass through the United app. I’m extremely excited about this…
While Delta Air Lines definitely has the best mobile app overall, I’d argue Untied’s comes in as a close second. What the app lacks in day of travel functionality, it gains in the booking experience. The United app makes it incredibly easy to book flights. Even better, it’s equally easy to book award flights through…
I’ve already gained a ton of value from my United MIleagePlus Explorer card. I opened the card because of an enticing 70,000 MileagePlus mile sign-up offer, but have decided to keep the card open for now. I’ve decided to keep the card open because I believe I get enough value from the card to justify…
United introduced Basic Economy fares a few months ago and it seems the fares with all their restrictions are here to stay. In fact, United recently doubled down on basic economy and expanded the fares to even more markets. This expansion comes just after United announced the rollout of these restrictive fares has been less…
United’s introduction of basic economy fares are simply not good news for casual travelers and frequent flyers alike. At face value, the airlines want to convince consumers that basic economy fares are good for travelers because they allow the legacy, full-service, airlines to compete with low and ultra-low cost carriers. Sadly, that’s simply not true.…
A few months ago I received a targeted sign-up offer of 70,000 United MileagePlus miles for the United MileagePlus Explorer card from Chase. In the past I avoided opening a United credit card for two reasons. First, I try to avoid co-branded credit cards as I find the points too limiting. Secondly, I rarely fly…
For me the most valuable benefit of the United MileagePlus Explorer card are the two one-time United Club passes card members receive each year. What’s great is the passes are available right as you sign up so you don’t have to wait until a card member anniversary to receive them. A few weeks after opening…
Booking Lufthansa first class is as easy as booking any other airline ticket. Simply go to Lufthansa’s website, search for availability, and pay for your flight. The only issue is that most round trips in Lufthansa first class cost well over $4,000. Obviously not everyone can afford to fly Lufthansa first class by paying cash.…
