Delta, as part of their continued plan to upgrade airport amenities, has announced their first outdoor terraces, which will be located in their SkyClub's in Atlanta's Concourse F and New York/JFK's recently renovated Terminal 4.
AtlantaThough I am not a big fan of Delta, I do give them credit for their continuous improvements to the airport and on-board experience. In addition to renovating their two main ...
For the past three months, I have been using the chip and signature feature of the updated Marriott Rewards Visa Signature card. Before receiving this card, I had to rely on standard magnetic stripe cards when abroad, which are not the most reliable in some parts of the world. There were many times that I had to track down a human being to make a purchase, which often resulted in missed trains, or longer lines.

Economy boarding was done with a process called WILMA- Window, Middle, Aisle, and enabled United to board their narrow-body ...
During the summer upgrade of Singapore Airlines' reservations systems, I made a few speculative award bookings for SQ First and Business class. I had never flown on Singapore, and with their policy to not release premium cabin space on their newer aircraft to Star Alliance partners, I knew it was time to book, and to book fast!
I was not fully aware of my winter/summer schedule last July, so I decided on the following awards. As a United 1K, I could change (though I would have to ...
