In der Luft

I love to travel!! I travel for both work and leisure. I just moved to Northern England, sadly far away from any major airport. Over the past 5 years I lived outside Frankfurt Germany about 15 minutes from Frankfurt Airport. As a UNITED 1K, I enjoyed all the Star Alliance Gold perks at Europe’s biggest Star Hub. I have flown on every European and North American Star Alliance carrier. I have been able to learn some of the tricks and hidden perks of the Star Alliance and blog about them when I can. Now that I'm in England I find myself flying mostly on bmi. Manchester, UK has become my home airport and luckly many Star Alliance airlines fly from MAN.
Learning how to play the game has led to many upgrades and free flights, some to really cool places, like the most northern commercial airport in the world, Longyearbyen (LYR). Flying in Europe can be easy and convenient and if you do it right very economical.. Thanks to this I have been to every European Country except Belarus, Moldova and Macedonia… but they are on my list.
I have been on a few cruises on Princess Cruise Lines…
I’m also open to helping anyone out with questions about travel in Europe, be it how to get there, where to stay or not stay… and even spots to see. Feel free to email me at damian@upgrd.com
