T Magazine: Murder, They Wrote

For over a century, the cloistered luxury of the Orient Express has mingled intrigue and decadence. Two mystery novelists board in search of inspiration.

Amazing Summer Business Class Fares To Europe!

We've seen a lot of amazing business class fares to Europe lately. Over peak times they sure look a whole lot more like economy fares, actually.


SkyTeam has just published some truly spectacular business class fares to Europe, which are even valid throughout all of next summer. SkyTeam is charging ~$1,500 roundtrip for business class travel between the west coast and Europe.


Two such fares are for travel between Portland and Madrid as well as for travel between San Francisco and Barcelona. I'm sure there are other city pairs with equally good fares as well.


These fares have wide open availability for travel on Air France, Delta, and KLM, so you can fly nonstop from the west coast, or connect further east. The routing rules are extremely generous, so you can take almost any SkyTeam flight you want. You can even fly nonstop on Air France or KLM from the west coast to their hubs in Europe.

Trending Urban: Reinventing the City

Traditionally we have molded our lives to accommodate the physical dictates of cities. That is changing—fast. Our cities increasingly are reflecting the architecture and aspirations of tomorrow in their buildings, street life, social connectivity, technologies, transportation systems—even how they welcome and entertain travelers.

How to Move Abroad and Save Money

There are many people I look up to in travel writing. Tim Leffel is one of them. He’s been writing about budget travel long before I knew what travel, let alone budget travel, even was. He’s been places I’ve only dreamed about and was even kind of enough to give notes and feedback on my book. I respect Tim a lot. He’s the master at finding good value destinations to live in around the world. I get a lot of […]

New American AAdvantage Program Details

American AAdvantage has just unveiled the details of the 2015 AAdvantage program, which will be the combined program for US Airways and American Airlines as the merger continues.


I had the chance to speak to Suzanne Rubin, President of AAdvantage, as well as a handful of other people at AAdvantage, about the changes yesterday.


Before I dig too deep into the 2015 program details (and there's a lot to cover), let me explain a few things upfront:


These changes (or lack thereof) are awesome.


If your heart is beating at a million miles an hour, you should be at ease. You have nothing to worry about.
