The Beds Are Actually Real For years, Air New Zealand’s Skynest lived somewhere between press release and pipe dream. Now it’s almost real. The airline is installing a pod of six bunk beds — three stacked on each side of a narrow aisle, accessible by ladder — on two of its Boeing 787 Dreamliners operating…
The Canal District Is Calling St. Christopher’s has two Paris locations, and the Canal outpost is the stronger of the two. It sits in a quieter stretch of the city where the towpath fills up on warm evenings, café chairs spill toward the water, and the terrace becomes genuinely hard to leave once summer hits….
No Single Card Rules Them All Eleven years of running a business teaches you one thing fast: the credit card question never gets old. Fellow bloggers, creators, and entrepreneurs ask it constantly. Which business travel card is the best? The honest answer is that there isn’t one. Every business spends differently. A Delta loyalist and…
Southwest’s Cyber Monday Play Southwest Airlines dropped a sale worth paying attention to. Starting Cyber Monday, the carrier is offering up to 30% off flights across the continental U.S., Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and select international routes. The promo code is CYBERSALE, and the window to book closes Thursday, December 5. Travel dates are generous. Domestic…
The Bag That Could Cost You $25 at the Gate United Airlines has two kinds of passengers: those who know the baggage rules cold, and those who get hit with surprise fees at the gate. The difference between them is usually about ten minutes of homework before booking. Start with carry-ons. Every passenger gets a…
The Lounges Worth Keeping a Card For There’s a specific kind of airport calm that only exists behind a certain door. No gate announcements, no sticky seats, no one fighting over an outlet. The Amex Centurion Lounges have built a cult following among frequent flyers — not because of the brand name on the door,…
There Is No Perfect Card. Get Over It. Every few months someone asks which travel credit card is the best. It’s the wrong question. The best card for a road warrior racking up Delta miles is useless to someone who splits their year between Airbnbs and boutique hotels. The right card is the one that…
The Canal Hotel That Refuses to Overcharge Hotel Bethel sits right on the canal in Indre By, Copenhagen’s most photogenic pocket of city. Three historic buildings, quietly stitched together, house rooms that are clean, spacious, and stripped back to their bones — no art, no color splashes, just good bones and honest minimalism. The carpets,…
A New Card With a Surprising Bar Tab Alaska Airlines has been quietly reinventing itself. The carrier merged its loyalty program with newly acquired Hawaiian Airlines to launch Atmos Rewards, and alongside it came a premium credit card — the Atmos Rewards Summit Visa Infinite. The card ships with the usual elite-tier benefits, but one…
Fly Fast, Pay More Domestic flights are the fastest way to cover Thailand’s length — Bangkok to Phuket in under two hours, Bangkok to Chiang Mai in roughly an hour. Thai Airways is the national carrier and priced accordingly. Skip it. Budget carriers — AirAsia, Nok Air, Thai Lion, Thai Vietjet, Bangkok Airways — run…
The Line You Didn’t Know Existed Most travelers treat airport security like a fact of life — the shuffling queue, the bins, the fluorescent purgatory. But off to the side of nearly every major U.S. airport checkpoint, there’s a separate lane moving at a completely different speed. That’s CLEAR. And 17 million Americans are already…
Two Brands, One Points Balance The Virgin Group runs two separate loyalty programs, and most people treat them like two separate things. That’s the mistake. Flying Club sits on the airline side — flights, elite status, award seat bookings, the whole miles-and-tiers machinery. Virgin Red sprawls much wider: online shopping, experiences, hotel stays, cruise bookings,…
