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!”

2024 comes to a close: SFO-IAD in “Premium” Economy
We’re gonna squeeze in one final flight for the blog before we call 2024 complete! Only 4 months into the year… though I’m actually almost a month ahead of last year. This final flight is, unfortunately, going to be a rather unexciting flight. It’s one final transcontinental flight from San Francisco to Washington DC. IContinue reading “2024 comes to a close: SFO-IAD in “Premium” Economy”
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”
June EuroTrip Part 5: New York to San Francisco. Flagship First Transcontinental to finish!
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”
