Although I am moving back to Kansas on Friday, for my senior year!, I am excited that I was able to fit the inaugural SFO>RDU>SFO flights into my schedule. This is the first time that United has added service to Raleigh-Durham, since eliminating the Raleigh-Denver non-stop 737-500 service in early 2008.

Delta offers a non-stop flight to Los Angeles, although it is only offered three times per week, and run seasonally. I am hoping that with United's strong network to Asia from ...

After a half day at the US Open on Thursday, it was time to head on to Las Vegas for the last stop on my trip.  It has been several years since I’d flown United out of San Francisco, so I wasn’t super familiar with their setup at this field.

I was able to use my System Wide vouchers on both the UA flights to and from Frankfurt to Dulles. The FRA-MAN flights are only a little over an hour and still operated by bmi (till Oct 31 2012) as a Lufthansa wet lease. ...

Starting last October, the Toilet Safety Administration Transportation "Security" Administration rolled out the Pre-Check program, which allows members of the various Trusted Traveler Programs (NEXUS, Global Entry, & SENTRI), as well as certain frequent fliers on Alaska, American, Delta, United & US Airways to enroll in the Pre-Check program.
