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.

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”
San Francisco to IAD two ways
The next set of flights to discuss are not the most exciting flights, so I’ve combined them into one post. A few months ago, I published a review of San Francisco to Washington DC (DCA) in two directions in coach. Now, I have a follow-on review of a very similar flight: San Francisco to WashingtonContinue reading “San Francisco to IAD two ways”
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 Part 2: DeltaOne Lounge (JFK-DCA)
After arriving at JFK off my DeltaOne flight, I made a beeline for the DeltaOne lounge. For many years, Delta only offered SkyClubs as its lounge option, even for international Business Class. However, this changed in 2024 with the opening of the first DeltaOne lounge at JFK. Two more quickly followed in Boston and LosContinue reading “DeltaOne Transcontinental Part 2: DeltaOne Lounge (JFK-DCA)”
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”
2025 begins with a transcon flight!
It’s time for 2025 to begin! My 2025 travel begins remarkably similarly to my 2024 travel. Specifically, I’m beginning by flying American Airlines’ Flagship First, but this time, I’m flying BOS-LAX-SFO instead of JFK-SFO like in 2024. I had originally booked a flight in standard domestic first class from BOS-PHL-SFO because I needed the tierContinue reading “2025 begins with a transcon flight!”
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”
Back to the Bay– let’s try Delta this time
After a long weekend in Baltimore, it was time to head back to the bay. Once again, it seemed to make sense to me to fly back from BWI. The logic was that it would’ve been 90 minutes to Dulles vs 20 minutes to BWI. On the arrival side, I would’ve arrived into SFO insteadContinue reading “Back to the Bay– let’s try Delta this time”
