For our next flight adventure, we’re heading to London on British Airways. As readers will know, this has been a very common method for me to get to Europe since I moved to San Francisco in 2022. In the case of this trip, my destinations were London, Paris, and Manchester, so this flight, once again,Continue reading “Spring break to Europe! Part 1: BA”

Flagship First on miles! (JFK-SFO)
Upon arrival in JFK, I headed for the Chelsea lounge, which I’ve visited many times. Having just visited the DeltaOne lounge, I was excited to compare the two (almost) back-to-back. I’ve read a few times online that American’s strategy with its Flagship First product is to match the key features expected of a premium productContinue reading “Flagship First on miles! (JFK-SFO)”
Backtracking through New York. This time on American!
On the way back from DC, I was once again heading through NYC. This time, however, I was flying American Airlines, which can only mean one thing on this blog. Yep, it’s another Flagship First Transcontinental review! This review is split into two parts because I’ll use this first part as my review of theContinue reading “Backtracking through New York. This time on American!”
DeltaOne Transcontinental: SFO-JFK
Just a couple weeks after my short trip to LA, I had my next (actually planned) trip! I had found the tickets for this journey several months in advance. My favorite time to travel is late January/February because the flights are usually cheaper, less full, and more upgrades are available. For those keeping track, asContinue reading “DeltaOne Transcontinental: SFO-JFK”
San Francisco to LA, two ways on Alaska Airlines
After returning from the East Coast, I didn’t even make it two weeks before it was time to fly again. This trip was just a short weekend trip to Los Angeles. I booked it the night before the flight, so as soon as I paid for the ticket, it was time to check in. TheContinue reading “San Francisco to LA, two ways on Alaska Airlines”
Around the world part 5A: Tokyo Haneda First Class Lounge
Upon arrival at Tokyo Haneda, I followed the signs for connecting flights. I was flying on two separate tickets, but since I was able to check my bags through to Los Angeles, I didn’t need to leave the secured area. In addition, I already had my onward flight’s boarding pass, so there was no reasonContinue reading “Around the world part 5A: Tokyo Haneda First Class Lounge”

We have a guest post today from my friend, Michael! He just took a couple of fun flights around Europe and to Australia and has graciously supplied some pictures for the blog. The first of these trips was a weekend trip to Iceland. He flew British Airways Club Europe both ways. He has supplied picturesContinue reading “Guest post from another Michael: a long weekend trip to Iceland (from London)”
Back-to-back(ish) SFO-LAX-SFO flight experience comparison
Unlike a lot of people, I tend not to travel as much during the summer. Partially that’s because I’m busier in my non-airplane life over the summer and partially that’s because I prefer to travel during off-season when the flights are both cheaper and less busy. The means for the next post, we’re jumping fromContinue reading “Back-to-back(ish) SFO-LAX-SFO flight experience comparison”
Guest post: The Club MDW!
I’ve got a fun guest post for everyone today. My friend Valerie was traveling on Southwest transcontinentally and had a layover at Chicago’s Midway airport. This club is of note because it’s the first ever to be opened at MDW airport! “The Club” is a brand of airport lounges that you can find around theContinue reading “Guest post: The Club MDW!”
June EuroTrip Part 4A: London to New York (British Airways Club Lounge B gates)
For the second to last part of my trip to summer trip to Europe, I needed to get to New York to go to a wedding. The wedding was in Upstate New York, so it made sense to me to fly to New York City and coordinate with other people coming from San Francisco. ThatContinue reading “June EuroTrip Part 4A: London to New York (British Airways Club Lounge B gates)”
