I am an addict of American Express cards, and they have just issued a double-whammy of phenomenal deals for this Labour Day. Both the Gold and the Aeroplan Gold cards have been updated and improved. I have all but written…
Trip Report – RTW – Part 4: London Day 1
So to give a bit of background, this is how I structured our London trip. First of all, I used Avios to book us tickets from Bologna to London. No availability was happening on www.ba.com, but I found an interesting…
Trip Report – RTW – Part 3: Bologna
So since we had 6 hours in Bologna, I decided to rent a car and go around and see things. The original plan was to visit Maranello and the Ferrari museum… but after some consideration, that seemed like a bad…
Trip Report – RTW – Part 2: LX/EN European Business
Since the ultimate destination was BLQ, I had to figure out an arrangement to get there. Why BLQ, you would ask? Because I wanted to fly onwards on TK, which required me to fly into SIN; I needed to visit…
Trip Report – RTW – Part 1: LX Transatlantic Business
So it’s time for another trip report. Inconveniently, this one follows the HNL one back to back so it’s hard to keep up with the posting rhythm, but I will try what I can. This trip will take us to…
Trip report – HNL MR – Part 3: SFO – Day 2

Trip report – HNL MR – Part 2: HNL
The ORD-HNL flight was interesting. Don’t think I’ve ever been on such an old plane, except …. 10 years ago, but somehow, demands were different back then. First time in HNL airport. Love the openness: Requisite Aloha sign:
Trip report – HNL MR – Part 1: ORD-HNL
For a change, I am flying a widebody. Having flown a lot of domestic flights lately, it’s all 320s, 737s, and (worst of all) CRAs and CRJs. But for once, I guess considering how far the flight is and how…
Trip report – HNL mileage run
So I decided to go on a little mileage run. Seeing as ticket prices never follow logic, it is possible to get rather .. special routings, maximising miles – without needing to necessarily cheat on tickets (i.e. route illegally, exceed…
