Wednesday reblog: The Club MDW!
It’s that time of the week again where I pull up an old post! This week’s old post is a guest post from my friend, Valerie! She was one of the first people to check out this club at Chicago’s MDW airport when it was brand new. She was traveling on Southwest (the biggest airline…
Westin DC City Center (2026 Hotel Review)

British Airways Economy Class Eastbound Transatlantic Daytime Flight (January 2026 EuroTrip)
Bottom-line up front British Airways’ day-time flights eastbound across the Atlantic offer a convenient way to travel to London without “losing a night” to travel in exchange for losing the day instead. If you struggle to sleep on a plane, this type of flight is worth considering. The exit row seats on this aircraft type…
Chase Marriott Bonvoy Bold Card (2026 update!)
My first Chase card was the Marriott Bonvoy Bold Card. I got this card shortly after it was announced; I was excited at the prospect of a no annual fee travel card that also had no foreign transaction fees. This is the card that I product changed from in order to get my Ritz-Carlton Card.…
