I’ve been flying quite a bit this year on United, and can’t say I’ve been that happy. United’s been going through a bunch of changes as part of the Continental merger. Despite that, I’ve had a few instances (including a 5-hour 2 plane delay)….
No sooner did I get done writing about the value of Hertz Gold Plus Rewards then View From The Wing writes about a great opportunity to get AAdvantage miles from AVIS and Budget rentals. The offer is only good until the end of August….
I’ve been a Hertz guy for a number of years now, and pretty much 100% Hertz since getting Hertz Platinum (their quasi-unpublished level with pretty cool benefits) a few years ago. For the longest time, I credited my rentals to Southwest. Under the old…
Thanks to Charlie for pointing this out today, since Facebook and I still don’t get along. United is teasing the date of their 787 delivery, saying they will be live streaming it (assumedly on their website). Still my favorite plane of all time after…

If you’re a mile junkie and have a wife/significant other like mine, you’re probably earning lots of Hawaiian miles from their purchases. Hawaiian continues to improve as a travel option, especially with their recent announcement of service to New Zealand. I haven’t been to…
Lots of useful stuff on View From the Wing this week. I’ve been able to catch quite a few mistake fares and other quirky sale options from the airlines and hotel chains over the years. Due to work travel I’ve also had to let…
Thanks to View From the Wing on this one. AA is offering bonus miles for roundtrips during the fall travel season. It doesn’t kick in until September and runs through November. Unfortunately for me, you have to book all your travel by the middle…
