Up To 25% Off Virgin Atlantic Awards

Virgin Atlantic's Flying Club program is offering 25% off many economy and premium economy award tickets.

The good news is that this promotion is valid through the end of the schedule, so this isn't something just available in the off season.

For example, here's a small sampling of the markets on sale to/from London in premium economy:

A Frugal Fishing Vacation

Growing up around hundreds of fresh-water lakes, fishing is in my blood. In fact, I love it. In my opinion, there is nothing better for a kid than taking them fishing and I was lucky to be able to fish nearly every day of my childhood. As an adult however, I rarely take the time […]

My Beef With American’s New Catering

American and US Airways aligned their domestic first class catering as of September 1, 2014.

I don't usually take much of an interest in domestic airplane food, though I did share my first experience with the new catering over the weekend, which was underwhelming. The "salad" consisted mostly of shredded lettuce, and the chicken was possibly the worst chicken I've ever had in a premium cabin.

Today I had a lunch flight from San Francisco to Dallas, which is under three hours in the air.

North American National Park #42: Badlands, South Dakota

Technically, Badlands National Park was the first national park I ever visited. My family visited here on a road trip in the late 70’s. I’ve visited several times since then and it never ceases to amaze me. What makes Badlands special is its colorful landscape. The erosional features of the park are actually the remains [...]
