Click here for more from our Croatia vacation series! I flew Air France business class last summer from Boston to Paris en route to Zagreb, Croatia. My pictures aren’t super extensive, but I want to share anyway. This was a special flight because it was my mom’s first time in business class. You can read…
Last year when planning our trip to France, I decided to start our itinerary in Alsace. That meant we needed to figure out the fastest way to get ourselves to Strasbourg. I wanted to use Flying Blue miles for our flights so that left two options. We could either fly on KLM through Amsterdam to…
Even though I hate Southwest’s boarding process, they’ll always be my preferred airline for one reason: the Companion Pass! With the Southwest Companion Pass, your travel companion can fly for free for a minimum of a year. All you have to do is pay the taxes! My husband and I always make sure one of…
This winter, the Southwest Companion Pass was the main thing on our minds when deciding what credit cards to open. I had already opened the Southwest Performance Business card at the beginning of December, so I just needed the other business card to earn the Companion Pass. Here are our credit card applications and results…
Last summer, I found myself needing to spend some vacation days before changing jobs. Kind of like my Alaskan Cruise in 2017, I needed a plan fast and I needed someone to go with me! Luckily, my mom was available and gave me free rein of the itinerary. Here’s how I planned our trip to…

With 2019 coming to a close, we are starting the think about getting the Companion Pass for 2020/2021. Here are our credit card applications and results for Fall 2019.

The shutdowns are likely a result of people earning a sign-up bonus multiple times on Citi American Airlines credit cards. In this post, I’ll outline what we know about the American Airlines account shutdowns…
2019 was a busy year! My big points and miles trips this year included hiking the Inca Trail in Peru, island hopping in Croatia, and a trip to France and Dubai with two flights on Etihad First Class Apartments. We managed to earn almost 1,000,000 points and miles and spent almost 2,500,000, some of which…
For our flight home from our honeymoon, we booked two seats in Singapore Airlines First Class Suites. It was my largest mile redemption to date, but I was willing to spare no “expense” for our honeymoon! I’ll admit, my photos are not great…it was the end of almost three weeks of travel and I was…
