The regular Chase United Club Credit Card carries $395 annual fee with a $100 statement credit. As I mentioned in my yesterday Definitive Guide to Free or Cheap access to Airport Lounges, it is possible to get this card with the annual fee waived for the first year, although this won’t work for everyone. Out… Continue Reading

The Definitive Guide to Free or Very Cheap Access to Airport Lounges
Cathay Pacific Lounge in Honk Kong Are you still paying ridiculous amounts of money for access to airport lounges? Please stop. Unless you fly with your family over a dozen times a year, or are a frequent business traveler who must fly/meet/entertain clients at airports, your $400-700 is better spent elsewhere. As in almost anywhere… Continue Reading
Weekend MishMash 01.11.14 Credit Cards, Merger Sweet Spots, etc.
I meant to post this on Friday just like the last week—I’m trying to bring some order into my chaotic blog—but it was not to be. I read about that newest SkyClub rate hike perpetrated by Delta, promptly got outraged and just had to say a few words about it. Sorry. Won’t happen again. Oh,… Continue Reading
SkyClub Comedy Club. Delta Rocks Again!
Good news today folks, and by good I mean terrific. Delta Airlines has advised their loyal members that they will soon have the privilege of paying slightly more for their SkyClub membership.

Check out my posts here: European Rail Travel— A Viable Alternative… Continue Reading
Friday Mishmash: Free Book, New Southwest & Capital One Bonus, LAN to Latin America, Atlantic City
This is going to be a long post. Sorry about that. I’ve been criticized that I don’t post every day, but the reason for that is simple. It’s very hard for me to say something when I’ve got nothing to say. I know it doesn’t stop other bloggers who keep talking no matter what, but… Continue Reading

Today this… Continue Reading
Just a Few Words Before I Start Drinking…
It has been a good year, and the next one is going to be even better. Despite all the past and future devaluations, mergers, and anguish, it doesn’t seem we have lost or going to lose the ability to travel for next to nothing. True, travel is never nothing, it’s always gonna cost us. But next… Continue Reading
Stay Lazy!
Those of you who understand that the titles of this website and my book series are not a cute marketing gimmick (it would be a terrible marketing gimmick, by the way) know that my philosophy about getting free travel is very simple. I do not want to invest my whole life into this hobby. Of… Continue Reading
