Monday Poll: Are International Business Class Tickets Worth the Wait?

One camp fell into the boat of that it's absolutely "worth it" to go business class every time and the others were saying that it's not always practical to fly business class. Since the discussion was so lively I figured it would be a great source for … [Read more...] about Monday Poll: Are International Business Class Tickets Worth the Wait?

This unfortunate tragedy brought us to a hotel near the Franz … [Read more...] about Friday Photo: Franz Josef Glacier in New Zealand (via Helicopter)
