Hello from Florida! I hope everyone’s new year is off to a great start! I’m grateful to have spent the past couple of weeks with family, and am excited to get started with my first review trip of the year this coming week.
It has been nice to have a couple of quiet weeks, though the mid-week holidays have meant that it has felt like a Friday just about every day, and I’m looking forward to getting back into a regular(ish) schedule.
On the points & travel front, this was a mostly quiet week on the news front, since it was a holiday week. Nonetheless, a last minute year-end mileage run to Mexico went viral, there are rumors of Singapore Airlines launching a Tokyo to New York flight, we found out that all US Qatar Airways routes will soon feature Qsuites, and more.
With that out of the way, here’s a recap of this week on the blog:

The 19 Most Popular OMAAT Reviews Of 2019
The internet is a weird place, and it’s perfectly normal for a post that it takes me 10 minutes to write to get significantly more traffic than a post that it takes me hours and hours to write, and which requires a significant investment (in cash or miles).
In this post I thought it would be fun to share the 19 most read airline, airport lounge, and hotel reviews of 2019.
Which Credit Card Is Best For Airline Tickets?
Using the right credit card for airfare purchases can help you rack up points quickly, especially if you’re anything like me, and spend a lot on air travel.
A lot has changed regarding the best credit cards to use for airfare purchases, so in this post I wanted to take a closer look at that. There are a couple of key things to consider:
– Which card offers the most points for airfare purchases?
– Which card offers the best travel protection for airfare purchases?
Ideally you’ll find a card that ticks both of those boxes. So with that in mind, let’s talk about the all-around best cards for purchasing your airline tickets.
Planning A Spring Points Trip To Kyoto (And Beyond?)
Obviously my review trips are solely about maximizing the number of interesting airlines and hotels that I can experience in as short of a period as possible.
However, even when it comes to vacations with Ford, my first thought is always what interesting hotel and airline reviews I could get out of a destination.
So when Ford tells me he wants to go a certain place, I immediately start thinking about the interesting ways we could fly there, and the interesting hotels we could stay at. Of course I try to do that without having too crazy of a routing, given that Ford isn’t a huge fan of flying unnecessarily.
