American Airlines Business Class New York to San Francisco
Outside of my hastily put together award trip to Australia and New Zealand and a very brief visit to Montreal, roughly 134k of the 144k miles I flew last year were domestic, primarily flying to Los Angeles and the Bay … Continue reading
Asia, the Long Way: Luftansa Senator Lounge Berlin and United BusinessFirst Berlin to Newark
I had about an hour before boarding started, so I visited the Senator lounge next to my gate to check up on my email as my hotel imposed somewhat outrageous prices for internet access. Traditionally, Continental operated the Newark-Berlin route … Continue reading

A Weekend Jaunt to Europe: United Business Class Washington to London
When I was booking this trip in late December, I was able to find business class upgrade space on United 924, the late evening redeye from Washington to London operated with a 777. Unfortunately, the United 777 fleet is in … Continue reading
A Weekend Jaunt to Europe: An Introduction
As I approached United 1K status last year, I began to eye a possible uses of the 6 systemwide upgrades that I would receive for crossing the 100k mile mark. Unlike American’s systemwide upgrades which work on any fare, United … Continue reading
