It all started last Wednesday when, during an afternoon break from doing some work, I decided to go online and look up random airfares from Bucharest. Always a sucker for the beach, the first destination I looked up was Goa, … Read more →

I checked in for my flight yesterday.
And was about to head to the airport this morning, when I saw that I had a "schedule change" on my itinerary.

On Saturday I ran a contest offering a $100 American gift card or amenity kit to readers who shared their favorite use of AAdvantage miles.
As I mentioned in that post, between my paid travel and the sign up bonus on my CitiBusiness® / AAdvantage® Platinum Select® World MasterCard®, I'm earning over 220,000 AAdvantage miles in January.
That's a ton of miles, so I thought it would be fun to talk about everyone's favorite redemptions. I had a great time reading the comments, and the stories on Facebook were especially fun!
Anyway, the giveaway ended on Saturday night, and the winners have now been chosen.

I’ve written extensively about Etihad’s Pre-Clearance facility in Abu Dhabi, whereby you clear immigration for select US-bound flights before even leaving the UAE.
My two experiences with the facility were really disappointing. It was just a total mess, and in both cases the flight took a substantial delay because of the facility. And that was the norm for months, when US-bound flights were running next to a zero percent on-time record.
First of all, based on all the feedback I’ve received lately, I think it’s worth noting that the Pre-Clearance facility has apparently improved substantially. Flights are actually departing (close to) on-time, and apparently the facility isn’t a mess.

The next USA TODAY TRAVEL Frequent Traveler University is April 17-19 at the Hyatt Regency DFW, minutes from the Dallas Fort Worth airport. I’ve had conversations at the last week, and with a number of other commitments through 2015 this will be the only large Frequent Traveler University this year. As you’re only chance to […]

On Friday I wrote a post entitled "I WANT TO REDEEM MILES FOR THIS FLIGHT SO BAD!"
As I explained at the time, I’m enroute to the Middle East in order to catch Qatar Airways’ inaugural A350 flight from Doha to Frankfurt on January 15. I actually already flew the Qatar Airways A350 for a media flight in Toulouse a couple of weeks back, so the inaugural flight won't even be my first.
As I was trying to find award space from London to the Middle East, I noticed a mysterious flight in the schedule between London and Doha, QR3352. It was an odd flight number, and after some further digging I realized that it's actually operated by an A350.
