Airline lounges are 75 years old. The first one was an American Airlines lounge in New York. American has a great online history of its lounges. The original club opened in 1939.

Boston’s North End (aka “Little Italy”) is among the most historic neighborhoods in one of the most historic cities in the United States.

Reader Jeff emailed me yesterday to say that he's taking his first longhaul flight in first class soon (flying Cathay Pacific from Hong Kong to New York, for what it's worth), and wanted to know what my "routine" is for longhaul flights -- when do I change into pajamas, eat, watch movies, etc.
Now, what I'd recommend doing and what I actually do are two very different things.
What I should be recommending is to:
-- Drink lots of water
-- Don't overeat or drink a lot of alcohol or carbonated beverages
-- As soon as you board the plane (or ideally even before that) adjust your time to what it would be at the destination, and sleep accordingly

Ideally we’d all have enough miles to get everywhere we wanted to go, but that isn’t always the case, particularly for couples and families. So I thought it might be helpful to go through some examples of how to book awards from multiple accounts, or when you have miles in different programs.
I’ll try not to get as deep in the weeds this time, but anyone who has tried booking awards for multiple people from multiple accounts will understand that this stuff is innately complicated.
As an example, let’s say we have a couple in New York who wants to go skiing in Verbier for the Valentines/President’s Day weekend. Just because they can, I suppose.
We’re going to call them Chris and Sam.
