For this week’s Wednesday Reblog, I thought it might be fun to reblog another flight from my 2020 trip to New Mexico. Last week I reblogged my Lufthansa Premium Economy flight, and this time around, I wanted to highlight a short little flight that was entirely within Texas: Houston to El Paso. At the timeContinue reading “Wednesday Reblog: Intra-Texas Flying!”

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)”
Delta’s ex-Lion Air 737 First Class Product
I recently took a long weekend trip to Maryland, and as part of that journey, I had the opportunity to fly on one of Delta’s ex-Lion Air 737s. I had a Delta voucher that I needed to burn, so I booked a coach ticket via Atlanta. The first part of the journey included breakfast at the Delta SkyClub, followed by a flightContinue reading “Delta’s ex-Lion Air 737 First Class Product”
Wednesday Reblog: Miami to JFK on a 777 in 2022
Continuing with last week’s theme of a wide-body aircraft on a short-haul route, I have this flight from 2022, where I flew from Miami to New York on a 777. This flight was at the tail-end of COVID restrictions, so international travel had not fully rebounded yet, but travel between the Northeast and Florida definitelyContinue reading “Wednesday Reblog: Miami to JFK on a 777 in 2022”
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 home stretch: JFK-SFO with a free upgrade to DeltaOne!
We’ve almost reached the end of the 2025 flights. We’ve only got 3 more to do, and, interestingly, they’re all Delta flights. I’m not sure exactly how that happened, but they were three separate trips where Delta flights made the most sense (especially in the context of me still having Delta Platinum status). In November,Continue reading “2025 home stretch: JFK-SFO with a free upgrade to DeltaOne!”
Interrupting 2025’s India trip again to add in another flight: LAX-SFO
While getting working on the review for the return flight from India, I actually came across a second flight that I had missed from earlier this year. This flight is from back in July (and was, in fact, the only flight I took in either July or August). I had driven down to LA withContinue reading “Interrupting 2025’s India trip again to add in another flight: LAX-SFO”
Interrupting 2025’s India trip to add in an old flight
I looked back through my flight logs for this year, and I found an interesting pattern of a lot of premium transcontinental flights crammed early in the year, followed by a lot of regular (i.e. non-premium) transcontinental flights in the middle of the year, and then a lot of British Airways flights in the FallContinue reading “Interrupting 2025’s India trip to add in an old flight”
Let’s go to Oklahoma. Part 2: Charlotte to Oklahoma City
Up next is the connecting flight from Charlotte to Oklahoma City! I had read that American Airlines was offering a new lounge concept at Charlotte to help with lounge overcrowding. It’s their version of a grab and go offering, called American Provisions. I left the Centurion Lounge a with plenty of time before my flightContinue reading “Let’s go to Oklahoma. Part 2: Charlotte to Oklahoma City”
Let’s go to Oklahoma. Part 1: Richmond to Charlotte
For the next couple flights, we’re going to take a break from longer flights and talk about a couple short flights. This next trip was from Richmond, VA to Oklahoma City via Charlotte. When I booked the ticket, first class was available for only $90 more than economy, and since that $90 would cover twoContinue reading “Let’s go to Oklahoma. Part 1: Richmond to Charlotte”
