Many of the snack mixes you enjoy on airlines like American, United and US Airways are produced by King Nut.  I got a little too excited when I saw they have a Black Friday Sale this week and then immediately disappointed when I found out it did not apply to …

I know I gave you a preview of the Dreamliner in an earlier post—I was too excited to wait!  But I figured I would go more in-depth about my experience in United’s newest addition to their fleet. We arrived at the San Francisco airport (SFO) with a huge crowd of people also …

I apologize–I’ve been trying out this new offline editor that posts when I connect to the internet, and I realized its major flaw.  I can’t double check my links before things go live!  And I made a huge error. HERE is the link for the live footage of Jeff Smisek.  …

If you follow my twitterfeed at all, you saw me posting from the StarMegaDo4.  My laptop met an untimely demise while traveling (more on that later), so I attempted to catch up on a $200 computer I panic-bought at a Best Buy.  It didn’t really have much memory for photos, …

Just a quick note to let everyone know that the Chase Ink credit card’s minimum spend drops tomorrow. I almost applied for the Chase Ink Bold immediately before hearing rumors that the minimum spend is dropping.  Previously, the card gave you 25,000 immediate, then 25,000 after $10k in spend in …

You are looking to fly-cross country and see a direct flight that stops midway.  The layover is only about 45 minutes, you get to stay on the plane, and you know you won’t miss your connection.  Perfect, right? Not necessarily.  Direct flights can negatively affect your attempts to get elite …

New Girl in the Air posted a new US Airways mileage special that’s perfect for people (like me) living in a shuttle location. Between November 1, 2012 and January 31, 2013, earn 6,000 miles for 3 shuttle flights, and 12,000 more for 6 shuttle flights.  These miles are not elite …
