If anyone else is like me, they are longing for … Continue reading Window Seat Weekend: Ritz Carlton Coconut Grove Miami and American Flagship First to NYC

Progress Update on DFW Admirals Club Terminal A Renovations

It feels like the Admirals Club in Terminal A of the DFW airport has been under construction for quite sometime now. I don’t know about everyone else, but I have been receiving the reminder emails before every trip, and thus avoiding the Terminal A lounge in favor of the others. However, on a recent early morning flight I decided it was finally time to check … Continue reading Progress Update on DFW Admirals Club Terminal A Renovations

Going Old School: American Airlines 777-200 First Class – LAX DFW

The original plan for this trip involved a quick visit to Los Angeles and a 9:30 am Sunday departure back to DFW for a relaxing Sunday afternoon.

At the time I didn’t think this was too big … Continue reading Going Old School: American Airlines 777-200 First Class – LAX DFW

American Airlines 77W Domestic Business Class Flight

Today we were lucky enough to fly on American Airlines 777-300 in their flagship business class seats. What made this even better was the fact that we were able to book it as economy. American is known for routinely flying their large wide body aircraft between their major hubs (i.e. DFW, JFK, LAX, MIA). When this happens they market their 3 class aircraft as two, … Continue reading American Airlines 77W Domestic Business Class Flight

American Airlines 767-300 Main Cabin Extra DFW-OGG

If you ask anyone they would probably tell you their top choice for air travel involves some form of first class. However, this isn’t always a feasible option, whether it’s related to points availability or pricing way out of your budget for the dates you need to fly. On these occasions there are still seats on the plane that can make for a significantly more comfortable … Continue reading American Airlines 767-300 Main Cabin Extra DFW-OGG
