Optimize your miles, fly the best airlines and enjoy your time in the air!

A blog about airlines, airports, travel tips, planes and miles galore.

Around the world in 15 cities and 30 days. I’ll be staying between 24 hours to 4 days in any given location exploring airport lounges, report on amenity kits, feed my instagram with airline food and get the most of my stop overs in and outside the airports. The Long weekend around the world (and on the plane).
