Over the more than two decades of solo travel, I’ve never encountered an immigration system quite so whimsical as that in Indonesia. I’m only going to speak in terms of entering a county as a tourist, although years back I did work in Jakarta for a spell. How would on-board immigration have worked then? As […]

Five New Fifth Freedom Routes of 2025
If you’ve been feverishly roaming the interwebs for some new fifth freedom routes of 2025, I’m here to help. Fifth freedoms are a common theme among travel websites, but I still want to provide a quick backgrounder. Created in 1944 by the Convention on International Civil Aviation (Chicago Convention for short), and now managed by […]
Gifting Airline Status
Gifting airline status isn’t unique to Italy’s ITA Airways. Just ask the US3 (i.e. American Airlines, Delta, and United). For the past 15 years (save for maybe 2020 or 2021), I’ve had varying levels of airline status. Back then, the US3 rolled hard with distance-based mileage accruals, as did most of the world.

I’ve also written about some of those lesser well-known Priority Pass benefits that don’t involve restaurants or lounges. But the […]
Two Delta SkyClubs in One: Miami & New York LaGuardia
Two Delta SkyClubs in One, how uncommon for me. Following a quick trip to Miami, I had to go to Ontario for another spell. Luckily, Miami’s Metrorail started running right when I needed it, to get my early flight to LaGuardia. A quick transfer to the Skytrain, followed by a brief stop at check-in and […]
Flight and Lounge Review: Condor Business Class Frankfurt to Miami
Disclaimer: I am writing this review with the support of Mardiks PR, who provided one Condor business class Frankfurt to Miami ticket. Condor is a German carrier specializing in leisure destinations throughout the Americas, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. I first learned about them years ago, being intrigued about their flight to Whitehorse, in […]
Airline Route Maps
Let’s stir up controversy with some airline route maps. JetBlue is in the news for having displayed Palestinian Territories on its in-flight map. I don’t care. What I do care about is a plane landing safely at its intended destination. But wait, maybe I do care … such stories make for great rabble-rousing here. To […]
