Reader Sam L. flew San Francisco – Newark yesterday on United and provides feedback on the brand new improved United meal service. 3 choices on a long-ish haul, up from 2. Had the mac and cheese and, while certainly calorific, it was excellent. Probably the best airplane food I’ve had in awhile. Ice cream was […]

Avianca’s LifeMiles program has just announced that they’ll be offering a 100% bonus on transferred miles between February 2 and February 16, 2015.
The rules of the promotion are kind of confusing because LifeMiles doesn't actually publish them, but:
-- The terms state you can transfer at most 75,000 miles during the promotion (not including the 100% bonus), but I can't seem to actually get the system to accept that; I've had no issue getting to the purchase page with a 50,000 mile transfer, though
-- The cost to transfer miles is 1.5 cents per mile, which is cheaper than buying LifeMiles

Through February 15, 2015, Hyatt Gold Passport is offering a 30% bonus on the first purchase of points during the promotion period.
If you max out the promotion and purchase 55,000 points you’d receive a total of 71,500 Gold Passport points. That would cost you $1,320, which is a rate of ~1.85 cents per Gold Passport point.
How does this stack up to Hyatt’s past promotions on the purchase of points?

Over the summer I flew Ethiopian Airlines business class from Beijing to Addis Ababa on a 787, and then from Addis Ababa to Frankfurt on a 767.
While the 787 itself was sparkly, I was dumbfounded by the fact that Ethiopian chose to install angled business class seats on a brand new plane. Don't get me wrong, I'm not picking on Ethiopian specifically here, as there are lots of airlines that do the same. Just look at Air France and Lufthansa with their A380s, for example.
While the flight was otherwise decent enough, the fact that the seats were angled just made it a not-so-pleasant flight.
