June EuroTrip Part 2: LHR to Milan Linate… in “Euro Traveller”
After about 4 days in England, it was time for a short 2-day trip to Milan, Italy (LIN). The only reason for this trip was to reposition for my trip back to the US to take advantage of cheaper fares when leaving some European airports compared to starting in the US or UK. Because IContinue reading “June EuroTrip Part 2: LHR to Milan Linate… in “Euro Traveller””

June EuroTrip: England and Italy. Part 1: Flagship First Class SFO-LAX-LHR
It’s time to begin a new trip to Europe! Taking a short trip in April and then another trip in June ended up being a bit tiring, but I had such fun flights that I couldn’t complain too much. I had booked a flight SFO-LHR in premium economy as the return leg of my flightContinue reading “June EuroTrip: England and Italy. Part 1: Flagship First Class SFO-LAX-LHR”
April Europe Weekend/Review Trip! Part 5: Los Angeles to San Francisco
There is one final flight to report on from the April trip! A simple connection from LAX to SFO. I’ve done flights between the SF Bay and Los Angeles any number of times before (mostly on Alaska and Southwest), so I was looking forward to seeing if anything was any different on American Airlines. MyContinue reading “April Europe Weekend/Review Trip! Part 5: Los Angeles to San Francisco”
American Aviator Card
When I posted my series of comparisons of the major US airlines’ credit cards, I mentioned only two Barclays American Airlines cards: the Aviator Red and the Aviator Silver. There are actually two more versions of the Aviator card: the Aviator Blue and simply the Aviator. The focus of this post will be the AviatorContinue reading “American Aviator Card”
April Europe Weekend/Review Trip! Part 4: Helsinki to Los Angeles
After arriving into Helsinki, I proceeded directly to my next flight. I did not run through the airport, but I did walk with purpose. If I missed the flight, they would’ve (probably) just rebooked me onto the flight to New York and all would’ve been fine, so I wasn’t bothered if I missed it. IContinue reading “April Europe Weekend/Review Trip! Part 4: Helsinki to Los Angeles”
