Airberlin Cancels Miami To Berlin Flight — Why?!

Airberlin currently operates service to Miami out of both Dusseldorf and Berlin. As it stands, the Miami to Dusseldorf flight is daily, while the Miami to Berlin flight is 5x weekly.

I flew airberlin business class from Miami to Dusseldorf just a few months ago, and quite enjoyed my flight. It's a great use of oneworld miles for travel to Europe, given that they don't impose fuel surcharges, regardless of whether you book through American AAdvantage or British Airways Executive Club.

Airberlin's service to Miami makes sense, given that:

-- Miami is a oneworld hub, so there's lots of connecting traffic on both ends

-- Miami is the second most popular US destination for Germans, after New York

How to piss off someone from Seattle

Drink Starbucks when Café Zoka’s a mere 10-minute walk away. Starbucks nowadays is a burnt-bean mess made by under-experienced, over-caffeinated baristas.

30 Fantastic Photos from Iceland to Inspire Your Next Trip

Last month, I finally visited Iceland. Iceland wasn’t the impossible budget destination people made it out to be. The locals were warm, welcoming, took me around, and showed me their homes. They were incredibly hospitable and I made a lot of Icelandic friends on my trip. And, while locals make any destination better, what blew my mind was magnificence of the natural landscape. It’s bewitching. You find yourself in a spellbound daze as you move from place to place, your […]

Citi AAdvantage Cards Now Have A New Look

American has been going through a major rebranding over the past couple of years, which even predates their announcement to merge with US Airways. I think they've been doing a great job with it, given that they're trying to shake their image as the world's largest operator of MD-80s, to one that actually flies airplanes built in this century.

For the 2014 program year American introduced new elite cards with a sleeker look, and that look is somewhat reflected in their new co-branded Citi AAdvantage Cards as well.

When you go to Citi's website and check out their co-branded American Airlines cards, you'll see the new look:
