Happy New Year! As well as fireworks and elite status counters resetting, the Aeroplan changes (which I wrote a series of posts about here) now take effect today. This means there are some good changes and some not so good changes, the important ones I will be mentioning in this post. Aeroplan Changes: One-Way Awards One-Way…
Thai First Class Ground Services BKK Thoughts
I am travelling at this time, so expect delays to responses on Twitter and email. It might also explain why I’m writing so many trip report posts. Thanks 🙂 Greetings from Hong Kong! I just got off my Thai Airways flight from Bangkok to Hong Kong a few hours ago, and I’m very jetlagged thus…
Asiana First Class Suites Initial Thoughts
I just got off my Asiana First Class Suites on their new closed-door suites on their 777-200ER from New York to Seoul, which is part of a trip to Hong Kong with US Airways Dividend miles. The plane that I flew was less than half a year old so it still had a slight new…
My Travel Hacking Christmas
It’s unbelievable what travel hacking does for you. I still don’t like the term, but miles/points arbitrage doesn’t come off as catchy or awesome 😉 So right now as many of you know I am in New York. My flights in First Class are on points and less than $300 in taxes. My hotel stay…
Does free elite status really make you elite?
I’m currently in NYC right now, and I just finished my university exams, so I’m still taking a bit of a breather from all the posting after that exciting post yesterday. Anyways, I ran into this Flyertalk thread while I was doing my reading. We all know that Accor gives away it’s top tier Platinum status…

Expertflyer Star Alliance Alerts Alternatives
Full Disclosure: Seth did not pay me anything or compensate me in any way to write this post. I do have access to Expertflyer, although I’ve never been a heavy user of it. Most often I use it to check paid loads, award space, MPM and MCT, and seatmaps. But anyways, as you may (or may…
Award Alert: Great American Airlines A321 First Class Space!
American Airlines will be the only carrier that will have 3 class service on their LAX-JFK and SFO-JFK transcon flights on their new A321T, which I’m really excited to fly because it looks like there’s pretty good award space! The pictures from First Class look really good: So today a friend told me about seeing…
Sunday Summary – Posts to Look at!
I hope you didn’t miss the 50k Lufthansa Miles & More Offer which should have already ended which as of 2am Pacific still seems to show the 50k offer. Anyways, the stories which I have not written separate posts about this week but I think are important: BA introduces Family & Friends List to Household…
Did SQ just pull all Oceania Business Class Space?
I got tweeted by a follower that Singapore had pulled Oceania award space in business class. This is not the same as united.com pulling all SQ Award space from showing as Aeroplan and ANA still show Singapore Airlines space, but no business class space is showing up. SQ actually had really great space on their Auckland, Sydney,…
