Southwest Airlines has long been known for a fun, relaxed flying experience—but customers and flight attendants now describe the carrier as “America’s most uptight airline.” The airline has tightly enforced assigned seating, introduced new fees, and even grounded the once‑free‑wheeling culture that defined Southwest for decades. This shift in priorities...

Hello from Vietnam, as I just flew Malaysia Airlines Boeing 737-800 business class on the 1hr55min flight from Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) — it should’ve been around 15 minutes shorter, but a fun go around gave us a free tour of the city.

This community has always been more than points, upgrades, and lounge access. Over the years, we’ve shared advice, opportunities, and sometimes even hard-earned lessons. But every once in a while, one of our own faces something that has nothing to do with travel and everything to do with real life....

With an extra day after a conference I decided to travel from Nice to Monaco for the day. It was a perfect exploration.  I was in Nice, France for the International Luxury Travel Market, the world’s largest travel trade show and had a free day before heading back to the...

A passenger's angry rant demanding jail time for anyone who reclines their airplane seat has gone viral—sparking brutal responses from fellow travelers who insist: "Stop complaining or buy a better seat!"

I write a lot about the value of hotel loyalty programs, and in this post, I’d like to specifically look at the best ways to go about redeeming points issued by Marriott Bonvoy, and share how I typically go about redeeming my points to maximize value. Separately, I’ve written guides to...

An American Airlines passenger decided to create their own premium experience. A new transfer bonus has launched from Chase. United is launching even more O'Hare flights in its fierce battle to drive out American, and more.

A stunning promotion was announced this week — and can save you a lot of money on airfare if you travel with a companion throughout the year. Plus, we have a pair of Air France business class reviews. Finally, there are several Valentine’s Day travel ideas that don’t necessarily have to...

I sometimes share what I consider to be the world’s best business class seats, and also what I view as the world’s best business class airlines. In this post, I’d like to talk more broadly about the amenities, services, and features, that make a business class product great.

A viral LA coffee counter runs from a private home, and it raises big questions about safety, access, and whether this model can travel.
