How You Know You’ve Been Flying Too Much…
I’m in New York now, finally getting a breather from all the flights I’ve been doing for the past few days. I landed at 2:30pm a few days ago, having either been at an airport, a lounge, or a flight for a period of three days. During that time, I’ve flown just over 16,000 miles…
SLS Beverly Hills, A SPG Luxury Collection Property
I’m in Shanghai right now, right in the middle of my humongous December trip. Apologies to not having to much content these past few days (thanks to exams), but thankfully I have a brief respite until the next semester starts in January. I decided to take a spontaneous trip to San Francisco and Los Angeles…
Fairmont Gift Card Black Friday Promotion
Disclaimer: Please be aware that offers for credit cards referenced in this post may have changed since the time of publication. Good morning from Taipei! I’ll be in Asia for just a short trip, before heading back to Vancouver. Unfortunately, that’ll mean I’ll miss Black Friday in the Americas, but that means I’ll be able…
First Air Aeroplan Redemptions
It’s taken me a while (in my defence, as the weather cooled Resolute, Nunavut seemed less and less enticing), but finally, we come to probably the most important (or second most, after Canadian North) domestic Aeroplan partner – First Air.

These next two weeks I’ll be a BoardingArea “featured blogger”. That means my posts will show up in the upper spots on the BA homepage. However, I can’t think of anything particularly piquing my interest that I want to write about right now. That’s why I’m asking you! Is there anything you want me to…

Australia’s Channel 9 “The Embassy” TV Show
Reality TV is sometimes pretty fun to watch. The travel-related shows are especially relevant and often insightful. I quite like the Border Security episodes (even though it is very sensationalist and amusing). As well, I quite liked the British Airways series that was on BBC a few months back. Searching around on the web today, I…
$50 Travel Credit with the Canadian American Express Gold Rewards Card!
Today, I received a strange email from American Express Canada about a weird redemption “I made” on a Gold Rewards Card account I manage. At first I thought it was spam or my account got hacked, but looking at it more closely, I was a bit puzzled. I’d never seen this type of redemption with…
Twitter and Turkish Airlines
Disclaimer: This is totally a FirstWorldProblem. Please keep this in mind while reading! Twitter is extremely useful when you want to keep current with what’s happening in the miles and points world. It is probably the best way to stay on-top of things without the snark that you get from forums like Flyertalk. Many deals…
