The American Express Gold Card (review) is one of the best cards for earning Membership Rewards points, and it also has an excellent welcome offer. The card is ideal for anyone who spends a lot on dining, whether at restaurants or supermarkets, and in my experience, getting approved for the card...

I may have spotted red chairs on Prince Edward Island — but it was not the first time I found red chairs in Canada. These red chairs are one of six sets that are currently on Prince Edward Island as part of the...

CLEAR has launched operations at Northwest Arkansas National Airport (XNA) to bring its biometric…

The Citi ThankYou program has just launched a new transfer bonus, in addition to the one to Wyndham Rewards. Funny enough, just weeks ago we saw the transfer ratio between the two programs devalued, and now there’s a transfer bonus, which doesn’t even get us back to the old transfer...

On Wednesday, 12 April 1989 the people of Sydney, Australia were looking forward to a rare visitor. A…

The Citi ThankYou program has just launched a new transfer bonus. While I personally won’t be taking advantage of this, it’s still worth covering, in case it’s useful to anyone.

A United Airlines passenger was caught on video ‘body slamming’ his seat for two hours straight on an early morning flight from Denver to Chicago O’Hare, but everyone’s a little confused as to why he was acting in such a performative manner. The man’s ‘tantrum’ was captured by a passenger...

Reclining is allowed. Repeatedly body-slamming your seatback for two hours because the guy behind you is tall is not. That is what passengers say happened on a United flight from Denver to Chicago, while the 6'7" man behind him somehow stayed completely unbothered while a flight attendant allowed it to...

A man trying to fly from Australia to the United States is now finding himself in a Tahiti jail cell, with a permanent ban on Australia’s flag carrier…

Delta might pack 60 Delta One suites onto its returning LAX–LHR widebodies, a card fraud attempt that turned into a save worth bookmarking, and a new ChatGPT credit on two business cards.

Delta’s “eco-conscious” inflight cutbacks look even worse when the utensils start melting. Plus: Southwest’s once-unthinkable layoffs continue, American’s cabin cleaning misses another seatback surprise, and Spirit gets its own ballad.

Emirates' 615-seat A380 was the densest jet in commercial service. They just ripped out 46 seats. The premium economy math finally beat the yield math.

Rakuten is my favorite online shopping portal, and it lets you earn bonus rewards for purchases you make online. Historically, Rakuten has offered the ability to earn cash back or Amex Membership Rewards points for online shopping, with the latter being a more compelling option (at least for those good...

While I was waiting for the departure of my connecting flight to Siem Reap in Cambodia, I relaxed in a lounge at Tan Son Nhat International Airport in Vietnam. I was thirsty; so I decided to get a drink. For this edition of this popular game, can you guess what...

Greetings from Tampa! I was in Chicago and Washington DC this week, but am…

I have been very gradually re-entering the miles and points game after a long stretch of years out of the loop. Today, I have an embarrassing story to share that I’d much rather keep to myself. But on this journey to re-enter the miles and points game (and even graduate...

There are few airport experiences more frustrating than standing at baggage claim watching everyone else’s luggage arrive first. Especially when all you want to do is leave the airport already.…

Soon your AI may book your flights. The question is whether it will find the best fare for you — or the one that pays its creator, after researchers found models could be prompted to push $1,500 sponsored flights over $500 alternatives.

I hope everyone is having a nice weekend so far! I’m at home with family, and am working on finalizing our summer trip to Europe, which is both exciting and intimidating, with two kids in tow (*gulp*). It also looks like I’ll finally have the pleasure of flying with Ryanair,...

A brand new British Airways flight attendant on his second only flight accidentally activated an emergency evacuation slide on a Boeing 777-200, preparing for a transatlantic flight from London Heathrow to Washington Dulles on Saturday afternoon. The mistake would, perhaps, be forgivable if it weren’t for the fact that British...
