As I blogged in my last post, 50,000 mile Credit Cards are becoming more and more common. It is still a good deal for a sign up with a spend requirement. I listed a few in my last post. Here are a few more I found since then:

The Lufthansa Premier Miles & More World MasterCard® – 20,000 award miles after first purchase. 30,000 points after spending $5,000 in your first 90 days. Companion ticket Annually. Annual fee of $79 ** NEW OFFER **

I love taking pictures of and flying in wide body aircraft. Sure beats an ERJ anyday! From a travel perspective, it’s all about comfort.

As per taking pictures, I just love these big birds. They are engineering in flight! A marvel to look at, both in the air and on the ground.
Common wide body aircraft one gets to see are:

Its a long weekend. So instead of writing a full post, I am posting a collection of news items from around the web.
United changing plans for 787:
United is saying that it will use the first Boeing 787 Dreamliner it will receive on its Denver – Tokyo (DEN-NRT) route. It’s original announced plan, per-merger, was to fly the 787 from Houston to Aukland (IAH-AKL). Looks like the merger changed their goals.

While the two programs have not been merged, they are now equal partners. BA is also reciprocating status between the two programs and allowing privileges like lounge access to each others Elite members. Full OneWorld membership is coming soon too, for sure.
The official date of …

I posted an article last week about the new that is giving 100,000 Avios points. I interchangeably referred to Avios as points and miles in my post. I got a clarification email from The Mileage Company, which manages British Airways’ frequent flyer program, letting me know that Avios is not miles, but a common currency for all IAG airlines. I have corrected the post and it now refers to Avios as points. I would like to thank the Mileage company for reechoing out. They also sent me an FAQ …
