For the 3rd year in a row, I am super excited to be participating in the annual FlyerTalk Secret Santa. Dedicated FT member wharvey has been organizing this FlyerTalk tradition for over a decade, and it’s honestly something I look forward to participating in every year. How the FlyerTalk “Secret Santa†works is that you … [Read More…]
Never Use the United Multi-City Search Tool
I like to book multi-city United awards to add stopovers, open jaws, and free one ways to maximize the value of my miles. There’s a trick to constructing multi-city, though, that you might not know: Never use the multi-city search tool (this is also true for British Airways Avios awards). It’s broken. You won’t see … [Read More…]
Should Passengers be Shamed for Working Out in Flight?
I recently started following the hilarious @passengershaming IG feed (you should too for guaranteed wtf?! laughs), and I can’t help but giggle audibly when a new photo is posted. However, the other day, a photo of a man doing pushups in flight was posted and it had me wondering… should passengers be “shamed” for at … [Read More…]
The Shame in Booking a Standard Award
Two whole weeks since my last update. Wow. I guess my mileage-run from hell really did leave me in bad shape. Nah, in fact, I’ve been really busy with the little man, traveling to Savannah and BAcon in Vegas, as well as working like a beast. September/October is usually a work-heavy time of year for … [Read More…]
I’m Never Doing a Mileage Run Again
I’ve done my fair share of spontaneous trips when there’s been a mistake fare/a deal I couldn’t resist. Even if the trip was a quick one, I’ve always made a point to spend some time at the destination. This past weekend I did something that was both a first and a last. Back in June, … [Read More…]

Weaknesses of SkyMiles (Rebuttal to My Friends)
A few days ago I let some of my Delta-loving friends convince me that “There are Five Destinations Best Served by Delta Miles.” I’ll be honest. I rolled my eyes because I don’t fly Delta. In fact, I rarely pay attention to any SkyTeam partners. I’ve been so focused on Oneworld and Star Alliance that … [Read More…]
I Flooded the Bathroom…
This post is dedicated to Greg, who writes Frequent Miler. Yesterday, he challenged me to take the ice bucket challenge. I’m having a hard time adjusting to Asia time as it is, so soaking myself with freezing-cold ice water during the wee-hours of the night seemed like the appropriate thing to do. I’ve donated $100 … [Read More…]
I was Skeptical But… There are Five Destinations Best Served by Delta Miles
Last night in Seoul, I went to dinner with several points and miles friends who were also in town. While enjoying Korean BBQ (I am officially BBQed out btw), we naturally shifted our conversation to points and miles. My friend Eric started talking about Delta miles and how they actually had some sweet-spot redemptions if … [Read More…]
