Usually my travel goals don’t require too much planning since I easily hit the thresholds I want and I just stop there. This year is different. With increased travel and the double elite qualifying miles (EQM) promotion earlier in the year, I’m sitting at 155,000 EQM’s already, with two trips booked bringing me to 170,000 [...]

Thanks to FlyerTalker flygirl94 for posting a link to this video on FlyerTalk. On one hand it’s absolutely hilarious, but at the same time it’s largely true and sad.
That being said, some of Steve’s points don’t add up. He complains about legroom at United, which is probably the one department United isn’t weak in. They have Economy [...]

I wanted my blog readers to be the first to know about a great event that United has graciously invited 100 FlyerTalkers to attend. Employee Open House, aka Fleet Week is usually only open to employees and their friends/family, but this year an invitation has been extended to a limited number of FlyerTalkers. For all of [...]
