Along with the Lifemiles Sale, they are releasing Singapore Business Class Space! The routes where I see award availability are SQ 22/21 (SIN-EWR) which is the longest flight in the world and will be cancelled in November this year: I also see award space on the rest of the other routes, including SQ1/2 (SFO-HKG), no…
My Bucket List, Part I
So to start things off, here’s are my lofty objectives. 😀 Still a work in progress right now, but here are the top things I want to do that are travel-related: Airplanes Take a shower in the sky (on Emirates A380 First Class) This picture always cracks me up (from One Mile at a Time)…
I’ve joined BoardingArea!
Hi everyone! Those of you who have been following me before my move, welcome back! I am very happy to be blogging at BoardingArea. For those of you who have not, thanks for clicking on my page. I’m alive (barely) and trying to survive my school exams, so I’ll have more posts, soon. Right now…
Etihad Airways is now a Transfer Partner of AMEX!
Before I disappoint all of you, Etihad for some reason only (as far as I know) partners with Membership Rewards Canada. They were there earlier in the year, but the transfer option hasn’t been present due to some technical difficulties, as I’ve been told. Finally, we have something that the US don’t. It is a…
Why I don’t like Fixed Value Miles
A lot of the travel I’m interested in is based from miles. I don’t spend as much money as others, and that’s why this hobby is so gratifying for me. I can travel (and laugh) while others who are not willing to spend just a small amount of time learning about travel hacking and end…
(Limited?) Discount One-Ways on Aeroplan!
Update: Aeroplan has posted the official details here. It is indeed until January 13. For those who still collect Aeroplan miles for domestic itineraries, there is a unannounced promotion (perhaps similar to last year’s Business Class for Economy Promotion) where one-way trips are only 50% of the miles of a round-trip, as opposed to 60-66% of the…
Award Space Updates
There are some developments in First class space that are quite nice (if you can pony up the miles). Both of them are incidentally on the A380. Singapore Suites on the A380 are now eligible for redemption through KrisFlyer miles. If you add the 15% discount for online bookings, a one way is just 74375…
SPG Bonus Beginnings
This occurs roughly every quarter, and SPG is now again sending out targeted offers (mostly to new members) for a chance to earn a hefty reward just for staying at any hotel on any eligible (points-earning) rate, which is pretty sweet and awesome. Make sure you check! You never know! To check, go to http://www.spgpromos.com/bonusbeginnings. Unfortunately…
A few more giveaways…
There are several giveaways/contests today, so I thought I would mention them. Austrian Airlines is holding a Facebook giveaway for roundtrip business class tickets to Vienna: Please vote for my story here! If I do win, I’ll promise to share the experience with everyone (by blogging about it here, of course). Lufthansa Flyer illustrates it in…
