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
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
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
Random Grunts
What a year it has been! A roller coaster, no less! Endless devaluations, endless rants, arguments, blogger wars, you name it. Our tiny, overcrowded niche is spilling over. Never before has our hobby been so entertaining, and not just to us–certified nutheads–but even to the folks standing on a sidewalk looking in. Ah, the hell with… Continue Reading
Good Atlantic City Deal and Why I Haven’t Posted Much Lately
There is a good Atlantic City deal from TravelZoo for those of us here in the North East who wouldn’t mind a short getaway. You can get an upgraded room at the Showboat on boardwalk, $40 dining credit, and $20 in free booze for $59 a night. Since I can always use free food and… Continue Reading
Record-High 50,000-mile Alaska Airlines Credit Card Offer
I was dragging my feet before posting it here, but it seems that folks have been getting confirmation of the bonus, so I think the risk is low at this point. Alaskan is a fantastic airline, but what’s even more fantastic is all the partners you can redeem their miles on, including Delta and Emirates.… Continue Reading
Now That the Draw is Over–Fly to World Cup in Brazil for Free
Listen! I know that when something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Not only do I know this adage, I also subscribe to it. It works all the time! But, there is always but… The adage says probably. It doesn’t say always. If it said “always is” I would have an issue with that. Just like I have… Continue Reading
Free Ticket? Sure, but Don’t Forget to Fill Us Up!
British Airways is being sued by a group of flyers for imposing fuel surcharges on award tickets. If British should lose, it might open the floodgates of lawsuits against other “greedies” who brazenly and routinely use bogus “fuel surcharges” (also coded as YQ or YR), in order to pad their bottom-line. These infamous fuel… Continue Reading
