money-reimbursement
My recent flight to Europe was canceled and I eventually was rerouted on another flight in economy (although I had redeemed for business).

There were 5 things I did right when my flight was canceled, and 3 things I did wrong.

But now it’s time to submit an EU261 compensation claim for a delayed or cancelled flight

We’ll see how it goes – I believe I’m entitled to €600 in compensation (per ticket!)


round-the-world

 

Now that we’re back from our Europe trip, it’s time to plan the NEXT trip

A “Round the world” itinerary is one of the things on my travel bucket list

Here’s my first attempt at a potential first-class round-the-world trip – what do you think about this itinerary?

One of my favorite events of the year was Amex Small Business Saturday

In past years, American Express offered statement credits for making purchases at participating small businesses

This year, Amex has decided that they will not be offering any such statement credits

It’s up to you whether you still want to participate in SBS (there are still reasons to support small businesses of course).  For me, I’m not bothering.
