...and someone was had a Stroopwafel in their hand.

United really needs to get a San Francisco to Warsaw route going; the polish airline has a monopoly on non-stop US travel and could really use another choice. The market that needs it most is DTW-WAW, and it would be golden opportunity because the XLR is right-sized for this route, but unfortunat...

First off, I love your blog and appreciate your insights. However, this is a big issue for me. The question is not whether you should change your valuation, it’s why you haven’t already. Same issue with Hyatt, you report well on a devaluation, but how can you maintain the same valuation if you...

Eh No baltics again :/ You could easily fill up a 767 or A321XLR to RIX during summer. BT could provide connections / feeder routes. Even with smaller fleet they are regoinal powerhouse @RIX. Why do US airlines chooses to ignore this region?

@mickyb You got lucky there! Was that in J? If so, which Delft Blue House did you pick from MNL-AMS?

@1990_ I thought about doing a reader story, but I don't want to wait until the end of the trip (in which case 5 photos will not be nearly enough), and I didn't want to a full report for each item on the list (plus whatever else I think might be interesting). Figured a rolling stream as a forum topi...

@ord_is_my_second_home *facepalm* ORD!

sometimes i think the bot allegations really are true man. if you couldnt tell this was sarcasm I think you might be beyond help

Today is the 94th anniversary of Amelia Earhart's solo transcontinental flight. Thus marking the only time a woman was tolerable on an LAX-EWR flight.

DL miles are absolutely fine for awards outside of the USA.

There are more planets in the solar system than Hyatts in Central Europe.

Lounges are now often worse than the terminal with people putting their feet onto the tables, leaving massive messes, somehow being allowed in with animals that clearly aren't service trained, etc. I miss the days when lounges were restricted to people who earned their way in and knew how to ha...

lololololololololol shaming me at my own game

With a Co-brand card United basically guarantees you get at least ¢1.1 per mile since that’s the rate of dynamic pricing. Upside exists but requires work.

@samar Woah! Epic! You can also submit a Reader Story (up to 5 photos). If you go to your OMAAT profile, you can select "Share your story" and needs to be 500 words minimum. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on many of those arrangements. Super jelly that you got to 85K PHX-TPE on JX! Both Cap...

AA has also drastically raised the dynamic pricing on their own metal and cut off AS and other partner access to more flights, not just the ones within 6 days. Tough times to be an AA flyer when they still aren't up to the quality of UA or DL but eager to match their stinginess.

Good Day Ben: As I reported to you a couple of months ago it looks like AA is not always abiding by their published chart when it comes to Air Tahiti Nui business class seating . When available the cost of a seat beween LAX/US airports and CDG is 57.500 miles + $5.60. At this time close to departur...

Welcome back! 😉

Does your back hurt carrying that much water for multi-billion dollar corporations?
