British Airways AARP Discount Extended

We've seen quite a few excellent business class fare sales this year for travel between the US and Europe, often around $2,000 roundtrip.

While that's a good fare to begin with, if traveling with British Airways there are a couple of ways to knock the fare down even further:

-- AARP members receive a $400 discount on roundtrip business class tickets, also valid for travel on their partner airlines

-- British Airways Visa Signature Cardmembers receive a 10% discount for travel exclusively on British Airways

Chicago Seminars 2014 Recap

Hundreds of other crazies taking over a hotel just north of O’Hare airport outside of Chicago talking travel, points, miles and seeing the world at prices we can all afford … its like a homecoming. This was our 5th year hosting the Chicago Seminars at the Holiday […]

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

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 […]
