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 …

US Airways’ 30 Days for DC has had some surprises for some lucky people. And thanks to it, Keri and I are spending the day at the beach in the South for the same price it would cost us to bus to the nearby Rehoboth Beach. For someone who flies …

A US Airways Plane got stuck in the ground Friday during a record-breaking heat wave in Arlington, Virginia. This has been a crazy weather month so far.  The derecho storm left Keri with no power for days.  And while we are used to high-temperatures in Arlington, we rarely have heat …

Today kicks off the first day of US Airways’ promotion, 30 Days for DC.  In their words, “30 days for DC is a month of surprises, community events and giveaways to celebrate our commitment to the Capital City. But it doesn’t stop there!” This appears to be a celebration for …
