Trip Report: AA/US Business Class PHL to MAN A330-200

I normally wouldn’t review American Airlines business class, but I thought it’d be fun to review a flight in business class on one of the US Airways A330s.

New(ish) Yoga Room and Airside Terminal 1 and 2 Connector at SFO

This is maybe old news to other people, but it’s relatively new news to me: there’s a new yoga room at SFO, and there’s an airside (i.e. post-security) connector between Terminal 1 (gates 40-48) and Terminal 2.

Trip Report: US Airways Envoy Class PHL to CDG

Earlier this year, I booked a roundtrip business class ticket to Europe for only 60,000 US Airways miles. This award no longer exists, unfortunately, but you can still book off-peak economy class tickets to Europe on US Airways for only 35,000 miles (only 30k if you have a US Airways credit card). The only catch…
