One of the best tricks to finding often pesky SkyTeam (think Delta Skymiles) frequent flier mileage awards has been the Air France website. Unlike Delta, Air France’s website shows connecting flights between almost all SkyTeam carriers, including China Airlines, Vietnam Airlines and Kenya Airways, and also more readily shows availability on trips that involve more than one…
Virgin Atlantic is my pick for world’s best airline, hands down, no close challengers. Before you start commenting about Q-Suites, reverse herringbone blah blah and showers, please let me make my case. My feelings about Virgin Atlantic are not retrospective of seat dimensions, amouse bouches, or the likes. This is an all encompassing look not…
I’m sure we’d all agree that credit card companies have a lot of rules. And I have some rules, too. My number one rule in this credit card and miles/points hobby is my Cousins Rule. It’s my C.O.C. No, not code of conduct, but rather code of cousins. You see, we’re a big clan of…
Asia Miles, the frequent flyer program of Cathay Pacific and Cathay Dragon, has long been a niche program for many of us in the US.

Seems to me hotel loyalty program points fall into a few different categories. Some points you know you’ll put to great use, and some points you’ll likely use and even have a general travel plan for. And some hotel points you scratch your head and wonder how the heck you’ll use them! Whether or not…
Hawaii has done something no other state in the country has done…….yet. In fact, it’s the first law of its kind anywhere in the world. It’s banning sunscreen that use chemicals believed to kill coral reefs. If you’ve been to Hawaii and spent any time at all in the beautiful ocean, both the coral reefs…
In addition to its recent wave of targeted email offers, American Airlines is also sending out paper mailers through snail mail giving away free status from now through September. The offer seems to be identical to those sent out through email, but this is the first time that I’ve seen/heard of physical mailers being sent…
