The Maldives are one of the most coveted destinations in the entire world. Located in the the Indian Ocean, not far from India and Sri Lanka, this collection of thousands of islands houses some of the world's most lavish resorts, most occupying their own island.
My fiance has always dreamt of going to the Maldives for her honeymoon, and with us being frequent fliers, I had to figure out how to best utilize our miles / points to get us there. I'll ...
As part of their ongoing 30th anniversary promotion, AA announced today that they were giving triple miles (or, more specifically, triple the usual amount of miles) for donations to the airline's two pet charities. So if you make a donation to Susan G. Komen for the Cure® or American’s Miles In Support of All Who Serve (which benefits the USO), you'll get 30 miles for every dollar donated.
I wouldn't necessarily buy miles at $.033/mile, but for a donation (especially if you ...
I just got this rather disturbing e-mail from my company. It looks like we'll be switching to American Express as our Corporate Travel Agency. What does this mean for me? Well, I don't really know... I'm asking you! Does anyone else work for a company that forces you to use this? I wonder if this is as small of a change as just booking all the flights / hotels I want through a direct-bill service and not getting credit card points. Or is this more complicated? Am I no longer going to be able to pick my flight of choice? Does anyone else have something similar in place with their company? Regardless of how sweeping the change is, I can't imagine there being any actual benefit to me. It's humorous that a bolded benefit is "offline / online booking tools." Like... WOW! You mean.... I can book travel online!?!? Or by calling someone!??! What a huge benefit!
Dear flight attendant,
It's called a "mixed drink" because it's supposed to be served mixed. If I wanted bloody mary mix with a vodka floater, I would have ordered it that way.
Sincerely,

With the recent completion of the merger of Continental and United, American is left a distant third in the Airline race. Some of the reasons to be concerned about American are:
First, American was just recently awarded antitrust immunity for transatlantic flights, meanwhile United, Continental and Delta have been enjoying the benefits of their ATIs for quite some time.
Second, While United, Continental and Delta have been growing their ...
US Airways is offering double EQMs and RDMs in select markets through the end of the year, including MSP, RDU, BOS, STL, RIC, and PIT.
This offer mimics promotions by Delta and American that began last month, with one exception. While the fine print of the AA and DL deals state that your trip must originate and terminate in one of the targeted cities (though Fozz has stated that double miles are accrued on all flights that either start or end in a ...
