    Review: Finnair Lounge Helsinki Vantaa Airport (HEL)

    ByEdward December 10, 2013December 10, 2023

    The second lounge that I stopped in at the Helsinki airport was the lounge that I could access via my oneworld status, which was Finnair’s lounge (although it used to be accessible via Priority Pass as well). When I was checking into the Finnair lounge, I asked a question about seating on my flight, and…

    Credit Cards I Currently Have

    ByEdward December 9, 2013

    Like any good frequent traveler, I have a lot of credit cards (although I just cancelled 2!) Here’s a list of what I have (and have cancelled) and some preliminary thoughts on what I should get next. Citi Forward (keep) This was my first “points” card that I ever got, and I got it while…

    Review: Aspire Lounge by Servisair Helsinki Vantaa Airport (HEL)

    ByEdward December 6, 2013

    The Aspire Lounge by Servisair is accessible via Priority Pass and is located near Gates 27 and 28 in the Schengen region. If you’re flying to a non-Schengen destination, you can still access this lounge, but you’ll need to leave a little bit of time to clear immigration to get to your flight. The lounge…

    Late Night Eating in Helsinki

    ByEdward December 5, 2013

    My second and final day in Helsinki, I did something rather stupid and let myself fall asleep at 4pm. I was exhausted and jetlagged (I find it harder to travel east than west) and ended up sleeping for 8+ hours and thus woke up past midnight without having eaten dinner. There is not much to…

    Dining Review: Luomo, Helsinki, Finland

    ByEdward December 4, 2013

    Eating out in Helsinki is generally expensive, and I hate spending money on mediocre food, so I figured that I might as well just splurge a little bit and get significantly nicer food. One of my new year’s resolutions was to eat 12 new Michelin stars this year, and Helsinki features 5 starred restaurants, so…

    Should You (Or I) Take Advantage of the US Airways Share Miles Promo?

    ByEdward December 3, 2013

    US Airways is selling miles for 1.135 cents each again. This has been one of the best/craziest miles deals around for the past couple of years. At only 90k for a business class ticket to North Asia (which generously includes Hong Kong and Taipei), you’re looking at paying around $1100 for a business class ticket…

    Review: Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel Helsinki Finland

    ByEdward December 2, 2013

    The first redemption that I made with the Club Carlson points acquired from my credit card sign-up bonus (or rather, using my friend’s Club Carlson points since mine didn’t post quickly enough, but that’s another story) was at the Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel in Helsinki. For 44k points, I got a 2-night redemption, since the…

    Review: Finnair Economy Class New York JFK to Helsinki

    ByEdward November 28, 2013

    In order to hit American Executive Platinum status, I did two mileage runs, one to Shanghai and one to Helsinki. For my trip to Helsinki, I flew American from SFO to JFK and then Finnair between JFK to HEL. Upon boarding the plane, the first thing that I noticed was that I was being pushed….

    Delayed Thoughts on Devaluations

    ByEdward November 25, 2013

    I know that I’m super late to the game with this post, but I’ve been traveling a lot recently and work has been hectic and you clearly shouldn’t be using my blog as your only source of frequent flyer news anyway. Over the past few weeks, multiple programs have announced devaluations: United’s was a bloodbath,…
