Happy Saturday!
I flew back from London on Sunday, and have spent most of the week at my desk covering the various Cyber Monday deals and writing trip reports.
Needless to say, I’m looking forward to spending as much time outdoors this weekend as possible!

Awards To Book Before The Upcoming Aeroplan Devaluation
Aeroplan announced earlier this year that their award costs would be adjusted for bookings made as of December 15, 2015, which is two weeks from today.
While the changes aren’t as drastic as the could have been, some of the most lucratively priced awards, which really set Aeroplan apart, are going up in price.
If you’d still like to redeem Aeroplan miles at the old award levels, this is a good time to start finalizing those awards.
Introduction: Thanksgiving In London
In mid-October Ford and I decided we were going to London for Thanksgiving. Ford loves London and has lots of friends there, while I actually haven’t explored London as in-depth as I’d like to (well, other than transiting Heathrow more times than I care to recall).
Generally Thanksgiving is a fairly slow period for transatlantic travel. There were some award options, but not great ones. Ultimately we were able to take advantage of a massive British Airways transatlantic business class fare sale, which gave me the opportunity to fly British Airways Club World for the first time.
