Why Not Combine Easy Lufthansa First Class Awards With First Class Awards on Asiana and Thai?

Last night I shared a rare find, that Lufthansa first class award space for 2 passengers at a time is available far in advance even when booking using miles from one of their partner airline programs like United, Singapore, Aeroplan, or ANA. Between mid-January and the end of March more flights between Denver and Frankfurt […]

Review: Park Hyatt Seoul

People often leave comments at the end of my posts saying "I want five minutes of my life back." Let me save you five minutes with a one sentence summary. The Park Hyatt Seoul is perfect.

You've been warned...

Incheon Airport is a long distance from the city, so upon arrival I headed to the bus counter, where I booked a bus that would drop me off at the Park Hyatt. The wait was about 20 minutes, and from there it was a roughly 75 minute drive.

As far as I'm concerned this hotel perfectly embodies everything which is the Park Hyatt brand, and that starts with the exterior. The hotel is housed in an all glass building -- very elegant and understated. Perhaps the helipad on top isn't understated, though. ;)

Stunning Footage Of Mexico City Airport

While I love travel and miles & points, I might just love aviation even more. From airplanes to airports to everything inbetween, I'm as enthused by all of it as a toddler.

So there's nothing I love more than some good airplane and airport video footage.

I can't even say how excited I am about "Aviation: The Invisible Highway" movie coming out next year, as I get goosebumps every time I watch the trailer (and trust me, I've watched the trailer plenty):
