Bargain Airline Tickets From Santa

Bargain Airline Tickets From Santa

Airline tickets: if you’re like me, shopping around for the best airfares is not your favorite thing to do. I mean, could it be more confusing?

Emirates Airfare Deal – Book by July 5

Emirates Airfare Deal – Book by July 5

Saying that Emirates Airline is offering a great airfare deal is like saying Neiman Marcus is having a sale. Yes, the price of the designer gown is marked down, but….well you know what I mean. Having said that, we flew Emirates Airline from Los Angeles to Dubai and in my notes (travel writers are compulsive […]

United Airlines’ Suite Dreams

United Airlines’ Suite Dreams

If you read my earlier post, you’ll notice that United Airlines didn’t win any of the OAG’s Best Airline awards. This fact reflects the opinion of many First- and Business-class travelers who consider this legacy airline more of a work horse than a thoroughbred. However, UAL appears to be trying to step up to the plate […]
