Tips, Tricks, and Travel with Lucky
As I posted about just yesterday, United sent out an email to some of their frequent flyers encouraging them to approach pilots in airports. Being the natural skeptic I am I questioned how the unions would feel about this, and not surprisingly they responded. How they responded, though, is beyond disgusting in my opinion. Here’s their [...]

Up until yesterday you could just listen to XM via the AOL Radio Player for free, but that agreement is over as of today, sadly. If you sign up through this offer you can get a free 14 day trial, which is much better than the standard free three day trial they offer.

As promised, I took some pictures of the Admirals Club at DFW in the A concourse. As a UA flyer my standards are of course pretty low as far as airline lounges go, and all the reviews I’ve heard of the Admirals Club have been quite positive, at least when compared to UA. I have [...]
