Today we’re talking expensive credit cards. In general, I’m not a huge fan of holding multiple, premium ones. This is primarily due to diminishing returns. AKA benefit overlap. There are only so many Global Entry credits or Priority Pass Select memberships that one can use. Considering they cost upwards of …

Today, I’m going through my experience of getting my dog, Mugatu, registered as an emotional support animal and on-board his first flight. It’s a short one, a quick hop from Seattle to Boise via Delta Airlines first-class. I thought it would be the perfect trial run. Only an hour in …

WOW! Or Woooowww, both pronunciations could refer to the same carrier we’re here to talk about today, WOW Air. Since 2012, this airline has been making waves in the trans-Atlantic travel market. And they do some pretty crazy things, like offering $99 fares between the US and Iceland. Wow Air, …

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s still valuation season, and I’ve got a real turd nugget for you today. We’re talking Alaska Airlines and their completely over-rated award program, Mileage Plan. Is it the worst program in the world? Absolutely not. But it is the least useful domestic award currency among major …

Ladies and Gentlemen it is late and I am in a hurry. So, today’s video is going to be short but not sweet. We’re talking Delta and Skykmiles, but unlike last week’s video where I raved about their 777 remodel, I’m now bringing bad news. Getting right to it, since …

I’m not sure at what point one is officially a cynic, but this is the second day in a row that I’ve got something to complain about. This time around, it’ the US government. I do however, promise that tomorrow’s episode will contain a more uplifting story. So, several news …

So I read this story on The Points Guy today that instantly made my blood pressure spike. Not quite to the level of some Buzzfeed SJW hit piece, but annoy nonetheless. Apparently, over the weekend, an anonymous passenger, which seems a bit bullshitty on it’s own, was assaulted by an …

I’m pissed at Southwest right now. In fact, I actually wrote most of this while steaming at flight level 340 en-route to Seattle from Baltimore. This one FA, we’ll call her Jane, even though that’s not her real name, decided to serve my seatmate 6 Jack and Cokes before we …
