If you need a winter break from the freezing temperatures of the Northeast winter, you are in luck. You can find a roundtrip flight to the Caribbean, French-speaking island of Martinique for less than $200! Although, the French-speaking bit is incorrect. Martinique is a France territory, albeit with a strong creole influence, which is why Norwegian Airlines, being a… Continue Reading

“Happy New Year” State of the Hobby Address (yes, LOL)
Let’s get one thing straight. We have lost a lot this year, but nothing else compares to this. The American Airlines AAdvantage program’s bloody massacre was not unexpected to anyone who doesn’t live on the Moon. What was unexpected—to me, at least—is the extent of the barbarity. That violent outbreak came right out of the United and Delta… Continue Reading
Book Etihad First Apartment — MAJOR UPDATE!
THE GREAT! A few days ago I wrote a piece about booking Etihad First Apartments with [soon to be devalued] AA miles. Book Etihad First Apartment While You Still Can! I noted that there was no A380 Apartment availability on the U.S.- Abu Dhabi flights till the end of the schedule (and yes, I did… Continue Reading
Kuala Lumpur Part A: Bangkok Airport Lounges, Malaysia Airlines Short Hop, Hilton DoubleTree Kuala Lumpur
This was the next stop in my Asian trip. I’d never been to Kuala Lumpur. We stayed at the Hilton DoubleTree Kuala Lumpur for 3 days, and I really liked it. I had talked to folks who told me there was nothing to do there. That’s simply not true. In my opinion, Kuala Lumpur… Continue Reading
Book Etihad First Apartment While You Still Can!
MAJOR UPDATE The Etihad First Apartment doesn’t come cheap, but I’ve become much more willing to spend waste my miles on the first class travel since the AA devaluation news. I used to argue a lot against it. All that Earn’n’Burn philosophy was kind of foreign to me. I was sitting on my high… Continue Reading
Two New Credit Card Bonus Offers
Hilton gave me the Diamond status. I have never held the highest elite status before. Yey! I used Marriott Gold to match it. Grateful to Hilton for coming through with this. I tried to build on that success and match it to Hyatt. I had attempted the Hyatt match on Twitter with SPG gold and… Continue Reading
Should I Transfer AMEX Points to Iberia?
I decided to take a closer look after reading a few posts about the option to transfer AMEX points to Iberia with a 25% bonus. I don’t have any AMEX points right now since I transferred all of them to ANA a few months back before closing my AMEX Business Platinum card. However, my cousin owes… Continue Reading
Why am I blogging? Why indeed?
It was never my intention to be a blogger—in fact, I had no idea how to blog (not too much has changed since then in this respect). I wrote a book first. Then a few more. I started this blog to promote it as a book companion of a sort. The idea was simple: buy my… Continue Reading
American Has SKYMILED AAdvantage: Now What?
12.03: Update for the AA Region List see below (thanks Jig!) In one of my most popular posts, Delta Smacks United I speculated that American would kill AAdvantage immediately after the merger with US Air. I was wrong. When DOJ gives its blessing to the sacred union between US Air and American, nothing will matter anymore.”… Continue Reading
