Qatar Airways Al Mourjan Business Lounge Review, Doha Airport

You won’t find a ton of lounge reviews on my site. However, the Al Mourjan Business Lounge in Doha is one of the nicest lounges I’ve ever been in. Take a look….

Donuts Across America! Flanders Donuts In Connecticut

Donuts across America is my cheeky way to create some fun content for the blog while I’m on the road for business travel. And, I get to eat a lot of donuts. So, maybe the whole thing is just an excuse to eat donuts. That wouldn’t be a bad plan on my part.

United Restores Some First Class Meal Cuts. Was It Worth The Pain?

My brain is still hurting. United restored some of the meal cuts they put in place a few weeks ago. But, not the meal cuts from a few months ago. But, hey, they gave customers tomato juice.

Is Foursquare Dead?

Venture Beat doesn’t think so, and I’m not 100% sure they’re wrong. But, before I discuss the article, a little background on why someone allergic to social media like me became a Foursquare nut.

For those not aware, Global Services is an invitation-only status level that United bestows on their best customers. What defines a best customer? Well, United doesn’t list […]

Update: American Airlines Variable Choice Plus Pricing A Feature, Not A Bug

I have to admit, I was pretty pleased with the original announcement that American Airlines was creating bundled pricing that included change fees at a lower apparent cost. Things got a little better when American also announced they were expanding the timeframe you could request a same day change to your flight. And, then things started to get a bit screwy. It started with just one flight I couldn’t get to price right with Choice Plus as an add-on. But, then I did a bit more digging and found out […]

I Flew Frontier, Saved $400 And Didn’t Die. My Frontier Airlines Review

Those low-cost carriers always have very appetizing fare sales. Who wouldn’t want to pay $20 to fly somewhere? But, what does $20 really buy you? I found out exactly what Frontier does (and doesn’t) offer customers on my first flight with them recently.

Clarity On Restriction of American Airlines Ticket Sales in Argentina

There seems to be some clarity on exactly how American Airlines will handle restrictions for ticket sales in Argentina. I received the following information that was sent by American Airlines to ticket agents today: Argentina Point of Sale Restrictions September 26, 2014 American Airlines has implemented sales restrictions for Argentina point-of-sale on our flights to/from Buenos Aires (EZE), Argentina.
