Best Ways to Get from South America to Europe
February 23, 2015
I'm intrigued by flights and awards that don't involve America. If there's a cool award to get from Australia to SE Asia, that can be integral to a longer, better, and cheaper trip.
My two favorite continents to explore are South America and Europe.

While other airlines search engines regress in functionality (looking in your direction, Delta), British Airways' award tool continues to improve. While researching for another article, I came across the slightly modified ba.com and noted a subtle consumer-friendly change.
Though the change is minor, British Airways has exhibited a recent history of positive improvements to their search tool.
Review: British Airways Galleries Lounge North at Heathrow Terminal 5
September 10, 2013
I recently had a chance to relax and refuel in the British Airways Galleries Lounge North at Heathrow Terminal 5 before my Dreamliner flight to Stockholm.
The lounge features incredible food, a wide selection of booze, some cool aircraft views, and a variety of seating areas. It is very crowded, but overall I'd give the lounge very high marks.
Just after passing security, the lounge was on my left.
Upon presenting a business class ticket, I was admitted by an agent who I later saw was surfing the BA FlyerTalk forum from her desk.

The Five Best Values on the American Airlines Chart
May 14, 2013
Yesterday's post about the Coolest Thing to Do with 130k and 280k American Airlines Miles got me to look at the American Airlines' chart again for value. I found what I think are the Five Best Values in premium cabins.
These values combine low miles, low taxes and fees, and the very best products from among American's partners.
