While my preferred airline alliance is Star Alliance (the largest alliance), I still find myself flying with the oneworld alliance quite a bit. With top carriers such as Cathay Pacific, Japan Airlines, and Qantas, you can also experience pure luxury during your travels. The oneworld alliance doesn’t actually consist of a lot of member airlines […]

Alaska Airlines Miles: Partners, Routing Rules and Best Ways to Earn
Alaska Airlines, based in Seattle, is an airline operating flights within North America – the US, Mexico, Canada, and select international destinations such as Costa Rica.

North American Lufthansa First Class Award Availability
In my eyes, Lufthansa First Class is the world’s best First Class product. No other airline offers such an incredible and consistent flying experience – both in the air and on the ground. However, Lufthansa has been unfortunately reducing the First Class cabin from many of their aircraft – their Airbus A340-300s no longer feature […]
How Long Do AMEX and Chase Transfers Take?
