Aeroplan is running a promotion for points and miles transferred into the program until August 24, that has popped on a semi-predictable basis. The last time this ran was in April 2015. For the miles you transfer, you can earn up to a 27% bonus. Programs and partners which directly deposit into Aeroplan, such as…
Last Day for Hyatt Diamond Challenge!
Hyatt is my preferred hotel chain. Their loyalty program is very well balanced, their points are actually worth something, and they have excellent service and hotel quality. Their top-tier Diamond status requires 50 nights/25 stays to maintain status. However, to attract new customers, they’ve ran intermittently some form of Diamond Challenge, allowing you to attain…
Vancouver A380 Service from British Airways Launched!
Updates to Vancouver Airport’s international flights are always interesting to me. This jolted me awake this morning, as British Airways is bringing their Airbus A380 to YVR for the 2016 Summer Schedule! Normally, British Airways operates 10-14 weekly during the Summer in Vancouver, usually with a Boeing 747-400 and/or Boeing 777-200ER. British Airways’ configuration of…
T-Mobile Plans Now Include High Speed Roaming in Canada and Mexico!
I’ve written before about T-Mobile roaming as a my secret weapon for staying connected abroad. While I do get local SIM cards for my longer stays, their plans have been especially useful for my short stays or overnight layovers in foreign countries. As well, it’s extremely useful to have connectivity as soon as I land. On…
Fantastic Transcontinental Business Class Space!
As you may or may not know, United decided to move their premium service flights from JFK to EWR airport, as it facilitates flight connections to United’s destinations better. This starts October 25th. These flights are one of the more comfortable ways to get coast-to-coast, featuring fully flat business class seats in a 2-2 configuration.…
$25 in Wingz Coupon Codes
A friend a while back passed me a link to download Wingz, a car transportation app. I’m a big fan of Uber, and moderately so of Lyft, since these apps are extremely helpful when I’m travelling. There are few major differences between Wingz and Uber/Lyft. Rides are to and from the airport only I find…
Free Lounge Access with LoungeBuddy!
LoungeBuddy is a pretty cool app that will show you, based on your elite statuses, credit cards, and airline ticket, the lounges you’re able to access at any airport. As I mentioned in a post just a few days ago, they are currently offering $10 off your first lounge booking through the app if you use…
Thoughts on my credit card churn…
It’s been quite a while since I’ve written about churning credit cards. For a refresher, see my post on credit cards and churning, which I wrote a few months ago. Credit cards are one of the easiest ways to get free travel in Canada, since issuers just hand out tens of thousands of points for…
Why You Must Fly Lufthansa First Class!
I flew Lufthansa First Class on their the Munich to San Francisco flight a few weeks ago, and it was one of the best flights I’ve ever taken. It seems almost like Lufthansa has upped their product even more after United made it harder for Americans to freeload to redeem for First Class. For this flight,…
An Alternative to the ANA Tool
My favourite site to look for Star Alliance award space used to be ANA. It was the most comprehensive tool and let you see 7 days of direct availability on flights, something really useful if you knew the particular flights you had in mind. However, with the recent ANA award chart changes as well as…
