Mapping foreigners in every US state

Despite living in a “nation of immigrants,” as the old saying goes, Americans are pretty divided in how they feel about newcomers to the US. After a recent decision to make the path to citizenship easier for undocumented immigrants, a Pew poll found that approximately 50 percent of respondents disapproved of the decision, and 46 […]

Visiting the Hidden Speakeasy in Downtown Sydney, Australia

Searching for a great cocktail in Australia is a quest of its own. For most Australians, a cocktail means "gin and tonic" or "margarita"—they have great wines in this part of the world, but legit mixed drinks are hard to come by. That just means you have to look harder, of course. I found a modern-day speakeasy hidden away in the Central Business District of Sydney. Finding the general area wasn’t difficult, but there was a trick to finding the speakeasy itself: you had to avoid an imposter bar located right outside. The imposter bar looked fine—just a normal pub with the typical overpriced drinks of Sydney.

The 5 Most Amazing Airbus A380 Amenities!

I'm a huge fan of the Airbus A380. While it might not be the prettiest plane in the world from the outside, there's no denying that it has had a huge impact on commercial aviation. Not only has it allowed airlines to add capacity on routes which are otherwise slot restricted, but it has also given airlines room to be creative with amenities, given that they have more room to work with.

I've been lucky enough to fly A380 first class on every airline which presently operates the whale-jet.

I figured I'd share what I consider to be the five coolest A380 amenities. If you follow the industry closely you're probably already quite familiar with all of these. That being said, a lot of my non-aviation friends don't get why I'm so obsessed with collecting miles & points, so this might be a fun way to show them what they're missing out on. ;)

HOT FARE: From $528 for Air France PREMIUM ECONOMY US – Istanbul Roundtrip

The Flight Deal scoops a deal about Air France premium economy for under $600 roundtrip. Premium economy can often be thought of as similar to domestic first class, so a real step up from coach, and for less than the price of coach. This should be a $2500 – $3000 roundtrip ticket. And yet I […]

Review: American Airlines Admirals Club Honolulu Airport

While the flights to/from Honolulu were utterly unremarkable/boring/had the most apathetic flight attendants I've ever had, I figured I'd review the Admirals Club in Honolulu.

The Admirals Club Honolulu is especially interesting because it's not exclusively an Admirals Club. It's actually a shared facility between American Airlines and Japan Airlines. So it's not that one airline runs it and the other airline uses it, but instead there are elements of both airlines incorporated into the lounge.

Honolulu Airport, while well past its prime, has to be one of the cutest airports ever. It's largely open air with great tarmac views, Japanese gardens, etc. I mean, hell, the TSA is even friendly.
