In fact, when searching for transatlantic business class awards lately, if the award calendar doesn’t crap out halfway throughContinue reading “Quick Hit: One weird trick to pry saver awards out of Delta’s grubby little hands”

A tale of two start-ups: AURA and MOXY (the dumbest names since JOON and SWOOP)
The AvGeek blogosphere is awash in stories of new startup airlines lately, if by “awash” you mean “there are two new startup airlines in the AvGeek blogosphere right now.” One sounds incredibly promising, while the other looks like a whole lot of empty promises. We’ll start with the good (bad name notwithstanding): Moxy Airlines, proposedContinue reading “A tale of two start-ups: AURA and MOXY (the dumbest names since JOON and SWOOP)”

Some thoughts on the crazy Iberia promotion now that it’s too late to matter.
If you’re just now reading about Iberia’s recent Avios promotion, I’m honestly confused about how you’re removed enough from the hobby to not have heard about it from a million other blogs yet somehow aware that my blog exists.

Getting my hands dirty with Emirates’ new family points pooling feature.
I never really paid much attention to Emirates’ loyalty program (“Skywards,” which I’m to understand is a combination of “Luke Skywalker” and “Backwards”), since the conventional wisdom is that it’s pretty lame. However, you may want to take a moment to familiarize yourself with it, since the contagion of devaluations spreading around Emirates’ various partners’Continue reading “Getting my hands dirty with Emirates’ new family points pooling feature.”
