I love layovers on airline tickets as they can allow you to stop in a city for up to 24 hours for free – the airline won’t cover your hotel or meals, but they will allow you to “transit” for up to 23 hours and 59 minutes on the same ticket. This can be a […]

Air France Calendar Is Back!:  After FlyingBlue changed their award chart, many noticed that their award calendar was not available anymore.  This was a bummer because it was one of the best ways to check out SkyTeam award availability, even Delta availability from the US to Hawaii (hint:  Korean Air Sweet Spot). Now it’s back […]

Iberia, a Spanish oneworld airline, recently ran the most generous promotion this year as far as airline promotions go – you could earn 9k Avios points for purchasing any ticket online through their website, up to 90k Avios points.

I think everyone by now is convinced that Delta Air Lines wants to make the world’s worst loyalty program. SkyMiles is probably the most un-trusted loyalty program in the world. The entire foundation for Delta’s program is the fact that Delta makes any changes they want, whenever they want, without notifying members in advance. Oh […]

Lufthansa’s Miles & More Frequent Flyer Program is very valuable – you are able to book Lufthansa First Class whenever you please and aren’t subject to the 14 day restriction other Star Alliance partners are.

American Airlines AAdvantage Miles aren’t as valuable as they once were a few years ago – mainly due to the fact that there was a massive award chart devaluation a few years ago and also the fact that it is increasingly harder to earn AA miles as the only transfer partner available is Starwood Preferred […]
