Lufthansa has uploaded a couple of cool videos lately that I figured would be worth sharing.
The first is of a Lufthansa MD-11 captain doing the ice bucket challenge. Pretty hilarious, though I'm kind of shocked he didn't even take his badge off while getting drenched:

A week and a half ago I wrote about how you can get instant and free car rental status from Avis and from National. PointCentric points out that when you sign up for your Avis status you will be given a free 2-day weekend car rental. [W]hen I got my confirmation email from Avis above, […]

I've written in the past about the Virgin Atlantic MasterCard. It's not the most lucrative credit card out there given that I don't find it to be very rewarding for everyday spend, and I don't find their Flying Club miles to be all that valuable.
That being said, the previous sign-up bonus was marketed as offering up to 65,000 miles as a sign-up bonus, which was broken down as follows:

Qatar Airways first revealed their A380 schedule back in late April, when they announced that they'd inaugurate A380 service between Doha and London Heathrow as of June 17, 2014.
As soon as they updated the route to reflect the A380 they stopped releasing first and business class award space on those flights. That trend continued when they announced A380 service to Paris, and has also continued throughout the delivery delays.
As it stands now, the Qatar Airways A380 inaugural flight to London is scheduled for October 10, 2014, while the A380 inaugural to Paris is scheduled for October 16, 2014. However, I would bet that's not actually realistic, and would optimistically guess it will be closer to the end of the year before Qatar Airways actually starts flying the A380.

Last week American Express opened their latest airline lounge, which is the Centurion Lounge at New York LaGuardia Airport.
It's interesting to see a credit card company get in the business of building airport lounges, though I think it's brilliant. Over the past couple of years quite a bit of value has been lost in terms of the lounge privileges of the American Express Platinum Card. It used to get you access to American Admirals Clubs and US Airways Clubs, though that was discontinued in March. Furthermore, guesting privileges have been reduced at Delta SkyClubs as of May.
So now they're building their own lounges. As it stands their US lounge locations include Dallas Ft. Worth Airport and Las Vegas. Furthermore, over the coming months they'll be opening lounges in Miami and San Francisco.

I receive compensation for many links on this blog. You don’t have to use these links, but I am grateful to you if you do. I do not write about all credit cards that are available — instead focusing on miles, points, and cash back (and currencies that can be converted into the same). Last […]
