My mom and I were sitting in the first row of the F cabin on LH A340 from ORD – [...]

Through January 31 American Express is offering a 15% bonus on mileage transfers to Virgin Atlantic. This is a good deal for those that would otherwise transfer to Virgin, but I still consider transferring to ANA a better deal for award travel on Virgin, since their rates tend to be lower and their fuel surcharges [...]
