How to piss off someone from Toronto

When we say "Toronto," it comes out sounding more like: Traw-na, Tuh-ra-no, Toronno, or Ta-raw-no. But do NOT point this out to us. Just go with it.

Which Credit Cards Offer The Best Anniversary Bonuses?

Reader steven k recently made the following request on the "Ask Lucky" page of the blog:

"This is not a question but rather a request. When you get a chance, can you write a post about credit cards with best (most lucrative) anniversary bonus?"

I do keep 20+ credit cards open at a given time, and it's not because I enjoy paying annual fees. ;)

There are two reasons I keep credit cards open long term:

Four Instances When It’s Smarter to Use a Travel Agent Than Book Yourself

Many of us just hop online to book our travel these days, but there are still circumstances where it may be prudent and beneficial to use a professional travel agent. Their knowledge of a destination, access to discounts, connections and clout, ability to book complicated itineraries, and specialization experience are all reasons to consider their […]

True colors: Portraits of India

It's not the sheer quantity of the people in India that make for brilliant portraits — it's their warmth and open hearts, their willingness to pause the day for a moment and give the gift of an image.

Life Outside The oneworld Bubble

Hello! By way of introduction, I'm a friend of Ben and a One Mile at a Time blog reader and I'm honored that he's invited me to guest post now and then.

Unlike many points-and-miles bloggers, I rank fairly low on the totem pole as far as elite status and butt-in-seat miles are concerned. I don't travel often for my job, and were I to do mileage runs left and right and be on a plane for 36 hours a weekend, it would surely lead to impending divorce.

But, I love travel, I love airlines and hotels, and I love the challenge of accruing and redeeming points. I have elite status with Delta and low-level elite status with Hyatt (through my Hyatt Chase Visa) and Starwood (through the AmEx Platinum card) and that's about it, but I hope I can bring you guys my perspective of being a "casual traveler" who still enjoys the points-and-miles hobby in moderation. I also like to think that I bring the perspective of not being in the oneworld "bubble."

Here’s How Hard It Is to Design a Travel Awards Ballot

This blog, View from the Wing, is nominated in the Frequent Business Traveler 'GlobeRunner' awards. I'm struck by everything that goes into building a ballot, all of the design decisions that influence outcomes, and all of the mistakes that can be made. So much so that I've decided to rename this website... Continue to see the new name!

An Amazing (Private) Flight On SriLankan!

Hello from the Maldives (more on that later!)

Over the weekend I flew from New York to Hong Kong on Cathay Pacific, and then from Hong Kong to Bangkok to Colombo to Male on SriLankan. To say that it was a long travel day would be the understatement of the year.

The three flights on SriLankan were especially interesting. Generally I'm a huge fan of the airline, as there's something exotic and unique about them which makes them more "fun" than most airlines.

But the service on the first two sectors was kind of crappy. The crews were lazy and borderline rude.
