The Best “Legitimate” Business Class Fare I’ve Ever Seen?

Qatar Airways offers global fare sales as often as JoS. A. Bank offers "the spectacular semi-weekly buy one get seven suits free" sale."

Qatar Airways' latest global fare sale is valid for bookings made through March 13, 2015, and for travel through July 10, 2015.

I've written in the past about how airlines publish some great premium cabin fares out of Colombo, Sri Lanka and Cairo, Egypt, though I think this Qatar Airways fare sale may just have the best value premium cabin tickets I've ever seen.

In particular, Qatar Airways has some amazing fares published out of Cairo, Egypt. Ordinarily Qatar Airways charges ~$2,000 for roundtrip business class between Cairo and the US, though now it's even cheaper.

Does My Airline Owe Me Anything?

It’s an inevitable fact that comes with the flying experience: At some point, every flyer will be inconvenienced by an overbooked, delayed and even cancelled flight. Luggage may start at the point of origin but end up on a vacation of its own. Albeit not the worst-case scenarios, these things happen to travelers more often […]

Why the Value of SkyMiles is So Much Lower Than Other Currencies (and What Delta Can Do About It)

Over the weekend I suggested that Delta had backed off of their 21 day unannounced advance purchase requirement to obtain a domestic saver award. That was technically true, kind of.

You Really Don’t Need to Visit Capri.

I know I was supposed to go Capri and love it. That just what people do – they paddle through the Blue Grotto and eat pizza at a cafe and fall in love with the place. But none of that happened during our visit. The grotto was closed on account of weather, and seemingly every […]
