Would You Fund a Business to Earn Frequent Flyer Miles? Wall & Main Asks That You Do
Yesterday I hopped on a Google+ hangout on the air because I heard that the legendary Randy Petersen would be a featured player. Thanks to +Mark Koschwitz for bringing the hangout to my attention. Usually when I am invited to hangouts they are at an inconvenient time, are of a topic that is not of interest to me, or some other reason for meh. This hangout happened to be at a … [Read more...] about Would You Fund a Business to Earn Frequent Flyer Miles? Wall & Main Asks That You Do

Booking Air Tahiti Nui Business Class Using Delta Skymiles
Book Your Delta Partner Segments First In August of 2012 I was messing around on Expert Flyer to see where I could go with the 300,000+ Delta Skymiles I had burning a hole in my account. This was before I even left on my honeymoon in Mauritius, and I was already starting to think about an awesome trip to celebrate our first anniversary the next year. It didn't take too long … [Read more...] about Booking Air Tahiti Nui Business Class Using Delta Skymiles
Delta Business Class With Lie Flat Seats and Westin Heavenly Bedding
If you have read this blog for some time, you probably have noticed that Delta is the airline that I love to hate. I love that it is a convenient airline to fly out of my home airport of Minneapolis/St. Paul International (MSP) and get to nearly everywhere in the world. I love the wifi on domestic flights and how easy it is to earn elite status. I love the upgrade I often … [Read more...] about Delta Business Class With Lie Flat Seats and Westin Heavenly Bedding

While this may be known to a few people, it doesn't seem that Delta has been doing a very good job of promoting this new feature, and it's not particularly easy to find on their website. I even had a hard time finding the site again … [Read more...] about Using Delta Gift Certificates to Meet Minimum Credit Card Spend Requirements
Monday Poll: Choosing an International Flight
Last week we talked about domestic airlines in the United States, so this week I thought we would focus on international long haul travel. If there is one thing I learned from talking with other frequent travelers in person, it's that everyone has a different idea of how they like to approach an international flight. Some people want to travel the world in the cheapest way … [Read more...] about Monday Poll: Choosing an International Flight
What is a MegaDO and Why Would I Want One?
There are certain things that at first seem absolutely preposterous to me in written form. One of these was the idea of a bunch of frequent flyers chartering a plane to go on a massive miles earning and downright educational experience to different parts of the world. It just seemed far fetched to me that this could actually happen, with busy schedules, flyers located all over … [Read more...] about What is a MegaDO and Why Would I Want One?
Holland: The Original Cool – A Bold Claim by KLM
Alright, KLM, I took the bait. I saw the above email come into my inbox yesterday and I couldn't help but be intrigued by such a bold claim. I have never really thought about Holland and cool in the same sentence. That same thought doubles for the Dutch. Nay for the Netherlands. It's not that I think Holland is not cool. It seems like a very nice place and I know many people … [Read more...] about Holland: The Original Cool – A Bold Claim by KLM
