An Exhausting Day of AA Flight Delays from Philly to Seattle (AA PHL-SEA)

There’s a first time for everything they say….I just wish it wasn’t me that had to experience it so often.  Over the years, I’ve sat on runways delayed for no reason in the sun and other times sat on the runway because of Airforce One.  With nightmare travel days and […]

World Traveller Plus British Airways seats together

British Airways World Traveller Plus Review (BA PHL-LHR-PHL)

I’ve been very spoiled over the years flying Club World (business class) on British Airways from Philadelphia to London return for work in my prior job.  Now that has ended, I’ve had to pay my own way to London (yes, I know cue the sad tiny violins) and have done […]

American Airlines Lounge PHL Review (AA PHL Terminal A West)

The perk of flying on a business class international ticket is the lounge access.  Over the years,  traveling solo, the lounge has been a good place to have a quiet seat, charge my phone and not worry about my bags when I want to use the bathroom (one downside of […]

A marriage of two airlines: the USAirways/American Airlines merger

Quite appropriate that the US Airways and American Airlines merger would be announced last week on Valentine’s Day – the marriage (merger) of two single parents (airlines) in a sense.  Sure we should be happy that they found each other but as children (frequent fliers) of each parent, we of course are a bit […]
