Prague Airport MasterCard Lounge Terminal 1 is where I waited for a British Airways 11:20am flight to London LHR on a foggy morning. My plan for 2.5 hour layover in Heathrow with a lounge visit was thwarted by a flight departure delay, so I made use of the time in Prague for last call in…
Long distance air travel still blows my mind in a physical relativity space and time sort of way. I boarded a Qantas 747 in San Francisco on Friday evening and after 14 hours in flight across the Pacific Ocean, I ate breakfast in Sydney Airport on Sunday morning.

We had about an hour before our American Airlines flight to London and walked into the Chicago ORD Admirals Club at Terminal 3 between Gates H6 and K6. The receptionist looked at my boarding pass, saw I was AAdvantage Executive Platinum, and suggested we go to the AA Flagship Lounge for better food and drinks.…
An enjoyable flight on American Airlines Las Vegas to Philadelphia in First Class reminded me that I have to remember to load an iPad in my bag for watching inflight streaming video. Clear skies from Las Vegas to Colorado Springs provided many photographic opportunities and flashbacks to roads I traveled for days on my 2013…

Just like when flying, there are several different lounge classes at London Heathrow and…

An update on my American Airlines Executive Platinum fast-track challenge sees me at 19,221 EQM after 17 days and three of six transatlantic flights completed. Today is a rest day as a steady rain pours down in Harstad, Norway, where I have hunkered down north of the Arctic Circle at Clarion Collection Hotel Arcticus for…

Zurich, Berlin, Oslo, Helsinki, London in 12 days out of San Francisco Airport. I was surprised at how much of Europe I could visit on one trip using 50,000 American Airlines AAdvantage miles for three one-way economy class award tickets and no other transportation except to and from airports on city trains, trams and busses.…
