The Transcontinental Business Class Comparison “Which airline has the best Business Class from New York to the west coast?”  This question is raised often.  While there are a lot of opinions, there are a number of important factors and this isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer.  The correct answer to which is best depends on how you [...]

I’ve got my next two trips booked!  The first is to Las Vegas for work.  ;)  I’m going for my industry’s largest trade event later this year.  Something memorable always comes about… I was also able to redeem Delta SkyMiles for four non-stop low-miles business class awards on Air France’s A380 from JFK to Paris-CDG [...]

Next week, I’m heading to London for a few days.  Though I’ve stopped over there enroute to the Gulf, I realized tonight that haven’t been into the City there since 2007.  Pushing 5 years since my last visit…it will be interesting to see what has changed!

The lounge is located in the South Satellite, upstairs from where the old Northwest Club [...]

Earlier in the summer, I was considering a business trip to Dubai (DXB).  Though it turns out I didn’t need to make it out to the Gulf, in the process of making my booking with Amex’s Platinum Travel Service (PTS), I did learn about a relatively new additional undocumented travel benefit that comes with the [...]

UPDATE (5/14/2011) SpaFinder ended the 40 milers per dollar offer early.  They have stated that they will honor any gift certificates already purchased under the program, but will not offer it any longer.  They are offering 10 miles per dollar on Delta instead at present.  Disappointing to see it end early (found this out only [...]
