Good afternoon everyone. It is not everyday that you have the chance to own history (or at least a small piece of airport equipment), but today you can! Heathrow Airport is remodelling Terminal 1, so they are removing all items and equipment. There are several hundred items that will go up for auction soon, so if you are interested, click here to view the catalog.
Good morning everyone, I hope you enjoyed yesterday’s post on How to Redeem Capital One Venture Rewards “Miles” for Travel Purchases. In today’s post, I will show you how to book flights and pay with your Capital One Venture Rewards “miles.” This process is very similar to booking paid tickets using Chase Ultimate Rewards Points, Citi Thank You Points, and American Express Membership Rewards Points. To get started, log into your Capital One account and click your “miles” balance.
Good morning everyone, I hope you all had a great weekend (with the exception of the recent AMEX Membership Rewards Changes). My girlfriend and I are going to Greece and Malta this Summer, so we are busy booking flights, making hotel reservations, and researching things to see / eat / do in those countries. During the airfare booking process, we have been using my girlfriend’s Capital One Venture Rewards “miles.”
Before we started redeeming the “miles” for this trip, she had 122,435 “miles”, which is equivalent to $1,224.35 in travel. In this post, I will show you how to redeem Capital One Venture Rewards “miles” for travel purchases. In tomorrow’s post, I will show you how to book airfare directly through the Capital One travel portal and how to pay with Capital One Venture Rewards “miles.” Without further ado, log into your Capital One account and click on your “miles” balance.
What do you enjoy eating on your long-haul flights? And do you ever wonder what pilots eat on their long-haul flights? This pilot’s travel menu relied on three rules! Enjoy this article… it’s a fun read.

Wouldn’t you love it if there was a really easy way to search for stopovers? I like the travel and being there parts the best. When it comes to planning the flights and routing, I like it best when it’s super easy to do or when someone else does it for me. And now, with AirWander, I’ve found an online tool that’s both super easy to use and does the searching and routing for me!
In my blog post on stopovers and how to use them and book them, I mentioned that I spoke with the founder of a new online tool that finds stopover flights for us. His name is Doug Deming and together with Ela Bader, their amazing creation is AirWander. I spoke with Doug for quite a while because I really wanted to understand how AirWander worked, its best uses, and since its conception a few years ago, how AirWander had improved.
Is Price The #1 Factor When Booking a Flight?
I wondered if price was the underlying factor when people looked for stopovers. In other words, were people always choosing the least expensive flights. I would have thought so but Doug corrected my misconception. He said that people use stopovers for two main reasons: either to see a city they haven’t been to, or most often, to be able to have a visit with family and friends. This made sense to me. Even if a stopover added a few dollars to the cost of my flights, these two advantages would be worth the price.
