Why Are You Asking Me So Many Questions?

No, this post isn't about the nearly 200,000 comments that have been left on the blog. ;)

This morning I flew from Frankfurt to New York on Singapore Airlines in Suites Class. It's tough to beat flying Singapore Airlines on a transatlantic flight, though the one downside is the lounge situation in Frankfurt.

Of course Lufthansa has the stunning First Class Terminal and several lovely First Class Lounges, but the issue is that only first class passengers traveling on Lufthansa flights have access.

If you're traveling in first class on a Star Alliance airline you only get access to their Senator Lounge, which is more like a business class lounge.

The Second Worst Miles Just Became Even Worse

I tend to think that Spirit Airlines has the worse miles. Spirit’s miles expire after 90 days of inactivity unless you have their co-branded credit card and charge to it every month (although presumably charging somewhat less frequently can meet the 90 day requirement). Some airlines have close-in redemption fees. Spirit’s fees start within 180 […]
