EVA Air is an Taiwanese airline based in Taipei Taoyuan Airport, and is shortly joining Star Alliance (on the 18th, actually). Their award availability will be up shortly, but it seems like Lifemiles has jumped the gun and opened the option to book EVA Air Flights. Their results will show up in the award search…

Daily Getaways Week Three Preview is out!
I am on Facebook and Twitter – don’t miss any more posts like these! The preview of the third week of Daily Getaways have now been released. From a cursory glance, it seems like there isn’t anything spectacular, but the IHG points sale are back. I am still waiting for Hyatt points and SPG points to be on sale.…
The rush from award bookings…
As One Mile At a Time very aptly puts it, there’s that rush when you book (award) tickets, especially when there’s an aspirational redemption or a mistake fare dangling in front of you. The award that I feel most deserves to win the “award that will give you that high” is probably going to be…

June 11 – Timelapses and Presentations
Not so much “news” today so I though I’d feature this timelapse from Vimeo from Shanghai. Absolutely stunning! The sound and light is simply so amazing! Probably the best I’ve seen yet.

A Wheel Dilemma…
I am looking for new luggage – it’s not that my spinners are worn out, but I’m looking for something new. I definitely want a spinner preferably with a built-in TSA lock. I’m not a big fan of formal wear and neither do I need a lot of space, so I don’t need the garment…

I am on Facebook and Twitter – don’t miss any more posts like these! June is definitely the month of credit card promotions and it’s been great so far! I’m really excited, because this is the highest offer historically that I have seen – last year they had a 50,000 points offer, but this is higher!

Twenty Dollar Trick: My Experience in Las Vegas
As you may well know, I was just in Vegas. It’s been quite a few years since I’ve been there, and the last time I was there all we collected were Aeroplan points and I actually had no recollection of where we stayed (I was around 13?), so what better time than to try the…
