On my recent trip to Europe I was especially excited, not only was I going to be visiting my favourite city (Amsterdam) but I also finally got the chance to fly on an Airbus A350-1000. I’ve already flown Cathay’s -900, so I was already familiar with the product but was more so just excited to […]

Over the past few months, most of my posts regarding Qantas offers have all been for more or double points. This year, we have missed those double status credits promotions, especially the ones open to the public. It’s becoming a trend to see a lot more targeted offers become available instead of the public ones […]
Often when I’m writing about frequent flyer program updates, the news is usually disappointing or there is nothing really that makes passengers happy. This is often due to the airline switching to more of a revenue program and less about the actual amount of miles flown; this is becoming more and more common day by […]
