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”
Guest post from the other Michael: Malaysia Airlines Business Class from Kuala Lumpur to London!
We have our next guest post from the other Michael! This time he’s flying Malaysia Airlines back to London from Australia. Michael had originally booked an economy ticket via Kuala Lumpur to return to the UK from Melbourne, Australia. There are any number of flight routings he could’ve selected, but they break down into 3Continue reading “Guest post from the other Michael: Malaysia Airlines Business Class from Kuala Lumpur to London!”
Spring Break to Europe Part 2B: Aer Lingus to SFO!
After my short flight from Manchester, I headed for passport control. Unfortunately, my flight arrived at about the same time as flights from the United States, so the “other” passport line was extremely long and slow. I explained to the agent that I had come in from Manchester and was on my way to the United States,Continue reading “Spring Break to Europe Part 2B: Aer Lingus to SFO!”
Spring break to Europe! Part 1: BA
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”
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!”
2024 retrospective: with data visualizations!
This is a repost of my 2024 retrospective but with some graphs and pictures! The text is all the same as before. I’m a bit earlier this year compared to last year on the retrospective summary! I’ve now uploaded all my 2024 flights of note onto the blog. So now, it’s time to take aContinue reading “2024 retrospective: with data visualizations!”
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)”
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”
