Airline news and reviews.
The Dallas Cowboys traveled to London yesterday in preparation for their face off with the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium. The matchup will mark their first ever international regular season game. The team flew Virgin Atlantic and posted a photo album of their journey on the team website sharing photos from bus loading, the airport,…
I have learned to be patient when flying. That’s a good thing on days like this where my flight is delayed. I’m really not surprised – I woke up to emails from friends asking if someone was sandbagging my house for me. Translation – it’s going to rain in DFW, it’s going to rain hard,…
Well *that* was unexpected. I was just gifted Hilton HHonors Diamond status through March 31, 2016 due to my AAdvantage account. This is a targeted offer. We’re teaming up with Hilton HHonors to reward your frequent travel. Sign up, and you’ll be immediately rewarded with Hilton HHonors Diamond status. With Diamond status, you can enjoy…
I mentioned on Tuesday that you could earn 7,500 free AAdvantage miles for test driving a Cadillac during a special cross-promotion. I also mentioned drinking wine. What I didn’t realize is that wine, miles, and cars would intersect quite the way they did. I can now state with certainty that MY Cadillac test drive was…
There are some things I am very passionate about. That list includes the Oxford comma, two spaces after a period, and an inexplicable preference for sans serif fonts. I’ve gotten into passionate arguments about all three. I once threw a copy of The Elements of Style at a colleague. I should not be proud of…
File under “easy miles”… drink some wine, test drive a Cadillac, earn 7,500 AAdvantage miles (but please, not in that exact order!) American Airlines AAdvantage program is running a limited time promotion with Cadillac. Test drive a Cadillac vehicle at any participating dealer, earn 7,500 AAdvantage miles. I called the Cadillac Concierge today at (844) 469-2234…
Unbelievable… saying Ebola on a plane is a fast way to get yourself removed and hold up an entire planeload of passengers. A passenger onboard a US Airways flight from Philadelphia to the Dominican Republic apparently joked out loud that he had the Ebola virus. The plane was met by a crew in hazmat suits…
Occasionally I run across really COOL things that are easier to share on social media than to post about here on the blog. Those include things like this cool piece of American Airlines pilot art I just shared on the Jetsetter’s Homestead Facebook page from American Airlines. This is one example of bonus content you…
Moneypenny is not well. (Moneypenny being the Mini Cooper that my friend Samantha drives.) Her clutch has gone out, it seems, so Sam is in the market for a new car. Why is this important to you? Well, I’m sometimes remiss in reporting travel news here that seems to have already been heavily covered by…
Forget the controversy caused last week when a young man “borrowed” heavily from several seasoned bloggers (including P2B’s own Andy’s Travel Blog) to create a highly viral review of Singapore Airlines Suites Class. ABC News has upped the ante with this brief video clip of the first class life as experienced by reporter Alexander Marquardt and previewed on Good Morning America this morning. See…
Navigating an airport for the first time can be a nerve wracking experience for any first-time flyer. But mix airports and autism together and you can have a highly stressful situation for that traveling family. Sensory overstimulation is often a fear for parents of autistic children. How their child might deal with situations outside their…
If you want to revisit the golden age of the jet set, a time when travel was a stylish affair highlighted by space age innovation, you can. And you don’t need a TARDIS to get you there either. For one day this month, the architecturally-iconic former TWA terminal at JFK (nee Idlewild) will open to the public….
