Credit‑card leverage
- Open an airline‑partner credit card even if you haven’t flown the carrier. These cards often award a large sign‑up bonus and let you earn miles on everyday purchases, while the airline’s award partners give you extra mileage‑earning routes. Miles for Family

UGREEN FineTrack Duo review: One tracker for iOS and Android
UGREEN has become one of those brands that regularly pops up in a traveller’s kit bag, not because it shouts the loudest, but because it tends to get the basics right. Its products are usually straightforward, sensibly designed, and when I find them at tech shows, its booth is ALWAYS packed. So they must be doing something right! The brand features regularly on {Tech} for Travel for that very reason, including the UGREEN 100W Charger, which proved ideal for reducing the number of plugs needed on the road, and the 100W Desktop Charger, which handled being mobile with
SanWon vs. A777Neo, Arizona vs. Michigan: Who Will Win TPOL’s Tournament Challenge?
Will TPOL go to Indianapolis next week? That depends on whether SanWon wins or A777Neo is correct. I do not know the identity of either, but one may be coming to Puerto Rico (see Free Flight to Puerto Rico! TPOL’S March Madness Bracket Contest).
Blacklane Fail: Driver Forgets Promised Car Seat, I Get Charged $190 Anyway
You’d think that a chauffeur service that promises to “upgrade your travels” and that offers “effortless travel at your fingertips” would do a little better than this. To Blacklane’s credit, I’m impressed by the service recovery, but only after I reached out. In this post: Ford and I have been in Europe with our older son Miles for a fun trip, and it’s now coming to an end. While we traveled with a car seat, it somehow disappeared during our second to last hotel stay of the trip. We really don’t know what happened — we had a
SkyWest CEO Accused Of Delaying Delta Flight For His Daughter
A Delta Connection flight delayed nearly an hour for a single passenger is raising serious questions, especially amid claims that the traveler had a powerful connection. This story flooded my social media feed over the weekend and I see that other bloggers have now covered it. Indeed, it’s the kind of story that immediately strikes a nerve. A Delta Connection flight from Salt Lake City (SLC) to St. George (SGU), operated by SkyWest, was delayed by roughly an hour last week. Weather or mechanical delays may be common, but flight was delayed for a different reason. According
This Tiny Amex Lounge In Fort Lauderdale Had A 150-Person Wait List — Travelers Will Queue For Anything Labeled Premium
I was mortified by a 55-minute wait for the Denver Capital One lounge last summer, when I was number 73 on the wait list. The American Express Centurion Studio Fort Lauderdale said hold my beef and mid buffet. Now, they offer reservations but those are only available to customers paying $45 apiece to enter, not to Amex Platinum cardmembers. And this lounge really isn’t worth $45 under most circumstances. It’s a cobranded Escape lounge, located in terminal 3 after security on the walkway toward gates E1–E10. The lounge is about 5,400 square feet and convenient to American, JetBlue,
