Safety Of Airlines You’ve Never Heard Of
By Lee | 
3 Comments » After the crash of the One-Two-Go Airline plane last week in Thailand, a lot of people have asked me whether these little and discount foreign airlines around the world are safe and if I flew them. My answer is always an emphatic, of course I do. It’s very seldom that airlines crash and the likelihood is slim to none that it actually occurs. Understandably, people get scared and nervous when they read about scores of people being killed in a crash but in truth it rarely happens. It happens just as often to major US carriers as it does to small and discount airlines around the world which is hardly ever.

In Transit at Heathrow
By Lee | 2 Comments » I am currently in the British Airways lounge in terminal 4 at Heathrow Airport. I arrived at 6:10am this morning and have been in London all day because my flight to Baku isn’t until 9:05pm tonight. Crazy layover but thankfully my good friend Morroni has a flat here in East Central London so I went to his place and basically just slept all day while he slaved away at work. He left work early and we hit my favorite London spot, Pizza Express for a quick bite before I jumped on the Heathrow Express back to the most hectic and disorganized airport on Earth. However, the British certainly do one thing right and that’s these airport lounges.

Maximize Your Miles
By Lee | 2 Comments » Travel always causes a great debate for me. Should I pay for the trip or use miles? In general, I like to pay for long flights because then you get the miles and if you have status, for instance platinum status on American Airlines, then you will receive double miles in addition to the miles equal to the price of the ticket. Additionally, paying for flights will give you a leg up on re-qualifying for elite status for the following year. Obviously, this debate is for people who have a lot of miles and have status with an airline or would just like to get started.
