Delta Just Quietly Made a Change to the SkyMiles Terms and Conditions That May Reveal Their Whole Game

Yesterday I asked if Delta was slipping a whole new mileage redemption system in the back door. They’ve made lots of changes lately, totally in the dark and without announcement. They’ve pulled award charts off of their website, and now say that awards cost whatever price members are presented with at the time they search […]

US Airways Brings Back Access to AAnytime Awards on American Airlines

A week ago American and US Airways launched the ability to redeem miles for ‘extra award availability’ at an additional mileage cost on each others’ flights.

Pick Pocketing Or Premeditated Crime? You Tell Me!

This post is a continuation of my earlier post, about how my mom was robbed at the W Barcelona. So if you haven’t yet read that post, I’d suggest reading it first.

When we woke up this morning we thoroughly searched every inch of the room to be sure the purse wasn’t anywhere to be seen. I had my mom talk me through the entire evening, and I even went a bit “Inspector Gadget” on her. I searched the guest bathroom carefully to see if there were any hints as to the guy’s motives for coming to the room.

Below is a summary of what followed. And the more I write this out, the more I realize this almost certainly wasn't a random pick pocketing, but rather something that was at a minimum premeditated, and at worst, much more than that...

Best First Class Amenity Kits in the Skies

There are, as we all know, many perks to flying first class. Chances are good that your reasons for choosing a first class ticket are down to things like legroom, luggage allowances, or simply more personal space.

RyanAir Ground Crew Behaved Totally Inappropriately. The Airline Had This Perfect Response.

The thirteen year old boy in me thinks that if I had to load and unload baggage in the snow I might do something like this, although I acknowledge I’d deserve to get fired if I did. RyanAir’s response, though, was perfect: ‘While our ground crew excel at industry leading 25 minute turnarounds, art isn’t […]
