Last night I wrote about the hilarious new six-part BBC Three series, entitled "The Airport of Smiles: Bangkok Airport." Here's the 30 second trailer.
Anyway, the first episode has been uploaded to YouTube, and it's hilarious. If you have an hour you have to watch it:

One of the awesome things about US Airways' transition from Star Alliance to oneworld is that it's now possible to redeem British Airways Avios for travel on US Airways.
British Airways has a distance based award chart, making it incredibly lucrative for shorthaul redemptions.
For example, a one way ticket spanning under 650 miles will cost you just 4,500 Avios.
Anyway, ordinarily you can search and book US Airways award seats using Avios directly on ba.com, though for whatever reason US Airways award space isn't showing on ba.com at the moment.

Since I wrote yesterday that Aer Lingus appears poised to accept a third takeover offer from British Airways (and Iberia) parent IAG, I’ve gotten several messages from readers quite concerned. You wouldn’t expect a mostly US audience to worry over consolidation in the European airline sector, especially when it’s a non-alliance member being acquired. But […]

We boarded through the forward left door, where I quickly took a glance into the business class section in the nose, before heading towards the stairs leading to the upper deck.
Nowadays Qantas' 747s are three class, meaning they have just business class, premium economy, and economy. This plane has three business class cabins -- there are 14 business class seats in the nose, 26 business class seats in the cabin behind that, and then 18 business class seats on the upper deck.
When I first booked this flight many recommend reserving a seat in the nose, though I'm partial to the upper deck. The nose sure did look nice, though.
We walked through the main business class cabin, which in general is the cabin to avoid, since it's in a 2-3-2 configuration (eeek, international business class middle seats!).

Korean Air is one of my favorite Chase points transfer partners. First class awards have been so darned easy to get. There are real sweet spots in their Skyteam award chart They offer cheap awards to Hawaii Although they are of course very Korean and their processes for redeeming awards are unique. Korean went offline […]

As I wrote about on Thursday, Korean Air SkyPass transfers are finally returning to Chase Ultimate Rewards.
The option to transfer points from Ultimate Rewards to SkyPass suddenly disappeared last November, and then about a month later we learned that transfers would be returning sometime in January.
Anyway, the option to transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards points to Korean Air SkyPass at a 1:1 ratio has finally returned.

Flying into a city during the week car rentals can be expensive, especially at the airport. I needed a four day rental, and the came out to about $400. Discount codes that I’m actually eligible for weren’t really bringing this down. Now, I find that I do quite well renting cars via Hotwire.com. You’re guaranteed […]
