Over the years, we’ve seen quite a bit of innovation when it comes to the credit card airport lounge landscape. While Amex Centurion Lounges were the first, arguably we’ve seen Capital One Lounges and Chase Sapphire Lounges raise the bar in recent years. With that in mind, in July 2025, Amex made an interesting announcement about plans to introduce a new lounge concept, for those who are short on time. There’s now a major update, as the first of these lounges has just opened. Amex’s new lounge concept for those in a rushAmex has just introduced a new lounge concept,…

For the next hotel stay of my Iceland to The Residence via Cambodia trip, I spent one night at the 204-key Singapore EDITION. Okay, I’ve gotta be honest, I’m not the biggest fan of the EDITION brand, and this also didn’t even rank among my favorite properties in the EDITION portfolio. So, why would I book this in the first place? Well, I had an Amex Platinum hotel credit to use, and I was one night short of requalifying for Marriott Bonvoy Ambassador status, so this seemed like the best option that allowed me to use the credit and get an elite…

Over the past several weeks, Lufthansa has been introducing a special fleet of planes in a 100th anniversary livery. While the first of these planes entered service several weeks ago, I’m very impressed by how quickly five planes have been repainted. I’ve gotta hand it to Lufthansa, this is one of the coolest special liveries we’ve ever seen. Not only that, but the livery looks particularly amazing on the 747, if you ask me, and that might just be my favorite “special” plane ever. Lufthansa highlights crane with 100th anniversary livery Lufthansa is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year (in…

For the next portion of my Iceland to The Residence via Cambodia trip, it was time to fly Singapore Airlines’ Boeing 737 MAX 8 business class on the 1hr40min flight from Singapore Changi (SIN) to Phnom Penh Techo (KTI). I was excited to finally fly with the carrier’s only narrow body aircraft, which only joined the fleet in recent years, after SilkAir was integrated into Singapore Airlines. This flight was lovely, as you’d expect from Singapore Airlines, with comfortable flat beds, great entertainment and free Wi-Fi, tasty food and drinks, and friendly service. How I booked my Singapore Airlines business class ticketI booked…

Here’s a fun topic that I’ll share my thoughts on, and then I’m curious to hear how OMAAT readers feel — what are the best luxury hotel brands in the world? It goes without saying that there’s no right answer as to what the best hotel groups are, given that it really is dependent on the specific property and what you’re into. There’s such a lack of consistency between hotels in many brand portfolios that it’s really hard to know how and what to judge. Below I figured I’d share my overall impressions of major luxury hotel groups, and I’ll…

Different hotel loyalty programs have different policies regarding how many points and elite qualifying nights you can earn if booking multiple rooms. In other words, if you often travel with family and book two rooms, can you receive elite credits and points for each of the rooms? Earning points for multiple hotel rooms Which hotel loyalty programs let you earn points for multiple rooms? The rules vary by hotel loyalty program, so in this post I’d like to look at the policies of the major programs, as they impact earning points and elite qualifying credit for multiple rooms (in the…

Mach Technique Describes a control technique used by air traffic control whereby turbojet aircraft operating successively along suitable routes are cleared to maintain appropriate MACH numbers for a relevant portion of the en route phase of flight. The principal objective is to achieve improved utilization of the airspace and to ensure that separation between successive aircraft does not decrease below the established minima.

Aero Linx: International Cessna 170 Association, Inc. The International Cessna® 170 Association (TIC170A) was formed in 1969.

It took foresight to form the association back in 1969 to share information about flying and maintaining the Cessna® 170. Members have spent many hours gathering data and sharing information through publications, conventions, fly-ins, and internet forums.
