Flagship First Transcontinental 2026: How is it holding up? (BOS-LAX)
American Airlines has officially begun removing Flagship First seats from its fleet, introducing its new Business Plus experience on wide-body aircraft, and has started flying its A321XLR aircraft on its premium transcontinental routes. It looks like the end really is coming for Flagship First after several years of “being phased out”. That being said, whileContinue reading “Flagship First Transcontinental 2026: How is it holding up? (BOS-LAX)”
Wednesday Reblog: Chase Sapphire Lounge in Boston
For this week’s wednesday reblog, I thought I’d change gears a bit and highlight one of my favorite lounges in the United States: The Boston Chase Sapphire Lounge. When this lounge first opened a few years ago, it immediately leapfrogged Chase’s lounge offering ahead of Amex. And with the announcement earlier this week that theseContinue reading “Wednesday Reblog: Chase Sapphire Lounge in Boston”
British Airways Club World West Coast-Bound Transatlantic Daytime Flight (January 2026 EuroTrip)
Bottom-line up front British Airways’ west coast-bound flights across the Atlantic offer a convenient way to travel from London directly to major west coast cities (Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego). The A380’s Club World seats are showing their age, but they should hopefully be retrofit in the coming years, but theContinue reading “British Airways Club World West Coast-Bound Transatlantic Daytime Flight (January 2026 EuroTrip)”
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 airlineContinue reading “Wednesday reblog: The Club MDW!”
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 typeContinue reading “British Airways Economy Class Eastbound Transatlantic Daytime Flight (January 2026 EuroTrip)”
2025 comes to a close with a final regional flight: RIC-BOS
It’s time for my final flight of 2025! It’s not a particularly interesting flight by itself, but I got some pictures of the Delta SkyClub in Boston, so I figured it would be worth including! This was also my last flight as a Delta Platinum Medallion member; in 2026, I only have Delta Silver Medallion,Continue reading “2025 comes to a close with a final regional flight: RIC-BOS”
Another 2025 transcontinental journey on Delta Airlines but without DeltaOne
To the surprise of no one, my last big trip of the year is a multi-week trip to the East Coast! In this case, I’ll actually be flying Delta back once again. I had expected to fly Alaska Airlines like last year on the direct flight to DC from SF, but that flight was, asContinue reading “Another 2025 transcontinental journey on Delta Airlines but without DeltaOne”
2025’s big trip: India! Part 5A: LHR Concorde Room
It’s finally time to finish up the trip to India! I’ve been in the process of moving locally for the last month and so have been bogged down by that, so these have been coming out a bit more slowly than I would’ve liked, but here we are: British Airways First Class from London toContinue reading “2025’s big trip: India!

2025’s big trip: India! Part 5: MAA-LHR
After a week in India, it was time to return to Europe. I don’t generally leave reviews of hotels or destinations, and this time is no different. The summary of my trip is that I really enjoyed visiting the granite temples of Mahabalipuram and really did not like the Somerset Greenways Chennai. The Leela PalaceContinue reading “2025’s big trip: India! Part 5: MAA-LHR”
