This has probably been my most fun week of travel of the year, in terms of the destinations I've visited. In the past week I've visited Longyearbyen, St. Petersburg, and Moscow, all of which have been on my list of places to see for a very long time. Much to my surprise, all three destinations greatly exceeded my expectations as well. I'll start publishing the full trip report from this journey in a couple of days, once I return to the US.
We've also had quite a bit of news in the miles & points world this week, between American formally announcing their reduction in mileage earning rates on partner airlines, Delta allowing systemwide upgrades to be used on Virgin Atlantic, and the Citi Prestige Card sign-up bonus very likely changing on Tuesday.
