I hope everyone is having a nice weekend so far! We just wrapped up a family ski trip this week (which I’m still recovering from — three-year-olds are fun but exhausting when outside their usual element!), so you can expect a few hotel reviews over the coming days. On the points & travel front, this week Bilt unveiled massive changes to its credit cards and housing rewards, United bumped its Boeing 787-10 order, Elon Musk and Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary got into it over Starlink, United announced a big MileagePlus leadership change, and more. With that out of the way,…

Threshold Crossing Height The theoretical height above the runway threshold at which the aircraft’s glideslope antenna would be if the aircraft maintains the trajectory established by the mean ILS glideslope or the altitude at which the calculated glidepath of an RNAV or GPS approaches.

The avianca lifemiles program is one of the most useful frequent flyer programs out there for redeeming miles. The beauty of lifemiles is that it’s not just useful if you want to fly with avianca, but also if you want to travel on any Star Alliance carrier, especially in a premium cabin. In this post, I’d like to take a closer look at the lifemiles program — I’ll talk about earning and redeeming miles, and general tips for maximizing value. Let me acknowledge upfront that some people strongly dislike the lifemiles program, and I see where they’re coming from, given…

The term comes from the fact that you may have red eyes from the sleep deprivation you’ll experience due to these flights. After all, as humans we’re programmed…

In the past few years, pilots at most major US airlines have negotiated new contracts. In 2023, we saw American Airlines pilots ratify a new contract, worth nearly $10 billion over four years. As I’ve written about in the past, one interesting aspect of this contract is that pilots will under many circumstances get upgraded to first class ahead of customers on the upgrade list. This has certainly been controversial, and in this post, I’d like to take a close look at how exactly this policy works. I’ve seen a ton of discussion about this online, and I just received…
