Etihad A380s Flying To Sydney And London!

Several months ago, Etihad Airways revealed their revolutionary new A380, which really is unlike anything we’ve seen from the current A380 operators. Between The Residences, First Class Apartments, Business Class Studios, etc., the branding is genius, in my opinion.

Etihad will be inaugurating A380 service between Abu Dhabi and London Heathrow as of December 27, 2014. The A380 will operate the EY11/12 flights, with the following schedule:

EY11 Abu Dhabi to London departing 2:35AM arriving 6:35AM

EY12 London to Abu Dhabi departing 9:15AM arriving 8:05PM

Everyday Economics: Don’t Want Me to Recline My Airline Seat? You Can Pay Me

I fly a lot. When I fly, I recline. I don’t feel guilty about it. And I’m going to keep doing it, unless you pay me to stop.

I Heart My City: Avery’s Boulder

After a thoroughly East Coast childhood, Avery Stonich traded Boston for Boulder in 1988. Once she experienced the city locals lovingly refer to as the "People's Republic of Boulder," she never looked back. This outdoor enthusiast and freelance adventure and travel writer has more than 40 countries under her belt, but still thinks Boulder is among the greatest places on Earth. Here are a few of her favorite things about her hometown of choice.

No Major Changes To Chase Ink Cards

The Ink Plus® Business Card and Ink Bold® Business Card are probably my two favorite business cards. Not only do they offer very generous sign-up bonuses, but they're also rewarding for everyday spend.

The Ink cards offer 5x points on office supply stores, and on cellular phone, landline, internet, and cable TV services. Add to that the reasonable $95 annual fee (which is waived the first year) and no foreign transaction fees, and the Ink Plus and Ink Bold become really solid business credit cards.

Chase has been tweaking the benefits of some of their cards recently, so it wasn't surprising to see an email this morning announcing changes to the Ink Business cards.

What Happens When There’s an Impossible Schedule Change on an Award Ticket?

Ronald A. asks, I’ve got an Aeroplan award ticket for two booked for next Spring on Turkish Airlines and Brussels Airlines (Istanbul-Brussels-Washnigton Dulles). The Brussels Airlines flight has had a huge schedule change which causes a misconnect in Brussels, so I’ll need to rebook. It looks like there is nothing with saver availability in business […]

Review: Park Hyatt New York

Arguably the most anticipated hotel opening of 2014 is the brand new Park Hyatt New York, which occupies the lower 25 floors of the new One57 building. Even though it just opened, this is actually the flagship Park Hyatt property globally, taking over that title from the Park Hyatt Chicago.

The hotel just had its grand opening this past Tuesday, and I had the opportunity to stay that night after flying in from Frankfurt on Singapore Airlines. It's worth noting that the hotel already had guests for about a week prior, though Tuesday, August 19, 2014, was technically their "grand opening" night.
