After having a great time at my friends’ wedding and attending a British Airways event in NYC, it was time to head back to California. I didn’t have any specific plans on when I needed to head back, so I was able to remain flexible until a good flight popped up. And the flight thatContinue reading “June EuroTrip Part 5: New York to San Francisco. Flagship First Transcontinental to finish!”

American MileUp Card
Next in the series of comparisons of the major US airlines’ credit cards comes the United Gateway Card. This card sits at the lower end of United’s credit card line-up, offering minimal perks but no annual fee. This card competes with the Delta Blue Card and the United Gateway Card. I imagine this card primarilyContinue reading “American MileUp Card”
American AAdvantage Platinum Select Card
Next in the series of comparisons of the major US airlines’ credit cards comes the United MileagePlus Explorer card. This card sits as a middle card, offering entry-level perks without a high annual fee. This card competes with the Delta Gold Card and the United Explorer Card. This card is largely comparable to the American Aviator Red Card butContinue reading “American AAdvantage Platinum Select Card”
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”

American Aviator Silver Card
A while ago, I posted a series of comparisons of the major US airlines’ credit cards. The mid-level ($199-350 annual fee) comparison featured the Delta Platinum Card, the United Quest Card, and the topic of this post, American’s Aviator Silver Card. I have the Aviator Red card, and I sometimes consider upgrading to the SilverContinue reading “American Aviator Silver Card”
American AAdvantage Executive Card
Following up on the series of comparisons of the major US airlines’ credit cards, we’re jumping to one of the top-tier cards: The American Executive Card from Citibank. This card competes with the Delta Reserve Card and the MileagePlus Club Card. Unlike Delta and United, all American Airlines credit cards earn points toward status at theContinue reading “American AAdvantage Executive Card”
Flagship First on my favorite route in reverse! BOS-LAX
After my great LAX-BOS flight in Flagship First, I decided to do it again in reverse! I’m of the opinion that upgrading on the westbound transcontinental flights is the better deal because the upgrade usually costs the same as the eastbound version but the flight time is longer, so the cost per time is lower.
