Malaysia Airlines Offers Refunds on All 2014 Flights

Like most people, I’m still struggling to comprehend the tragedy that is Malaysia Airlines flight 17.

Chase Sapphire Preferred Changes: The Good and Bad

A few weeks ago I wrote a post about what makes a card worth keeping and one example I highlighted was the 7% annual point dividend on the Chase Sapphire Preferred card, which sometimes makes it possible to off-set the $95 annual fee on the card.

One things we haven’t focused on this site is LGBT travel and, as we bring in a wider range of reader interviews, I wanted to highlight LGBT readers as I’m curious to know their experience traveling around the world, as many countries have harsh anti-gay laws.
