The Michael W Travels family has visited Italy a bunch of times and we’ve always had fun and enjoyed the country. Some visits have been quite short but there always seems to be something interesting to see.
One town in central Italy is giving you the chance to get a free trip there as long as you get knocked up in one of ten hotels… Continue reading Get Knocked Up in One of These Hotels, Get A FREE Trip to Italy
A Gold Star Family is claiming that they were booed on a plane “as they as they flew to meet his son’s body coming home,” according to FOX News.
A Gold Star Family is defined as “surviving spouses, parents and immediate family members of Armed Forces members killed in combat operations,” according to armymwr.com.
Here are some details of what recently took place on the American Airlines flight. Continue reading Gold Star Family Booed While Leaving Plane
Virgin Australia is being sued by a 16 year old boy who was burned by hot coffee while flying from Los Angeles to Sydney in 2015.
When I first read the title of the T+L article, “Teen Sues Virgin Australia After Hot Coffee Caused Him ‘Worst Pain He’s Ever Felt’, I assumed that a flight attendant must’ve spilled coffee on him but that was not the case. Continue reading Virgin Australia Being Sued For Spilling Coffee on Teen’s Lap
Over the past week I did a lot of credit card and travel reward housecleaning, so to speak. I used some soon to expire hotel free nights as well as some expiring airline points.
Next on our agenda, besides finishing the booking details of some upcoming trips is getting Lucas a new passport as well as a first for Theo. We somehow procrastinated with this and will most likely have to pay rush fees since our next international trip is around one month away… Continue reading World’s Largest Airport, Free Uber Airport Rides, AA Biz Extra Points Redemption, Club Carlson Free Night, Senator Drives for Uber- The Rehash!

One might expect the largest airport in the world to be located in one of the world’s most visited cities.
If the tourists are coming, then the city could probably use a really big airport! I’m thinking of cities like Bangkok, Paris and New York City, just to name a few.
Surprisingly, the world’s largest airport is located 45 minutes away from Saudi Arabia’s sixth largest city, Dammam. Continue reading Largest Airport In The World Is Bigger Than Singapore!
This week I was approved for what’s most likely the last credit card I’ll get in 2016. This will probably cap off the lowest total of miles and points earned from credit cards in quite some time.
I’m also making some progress with our upcoming winter break trip. I’m hoping to finish booking all of the details soon so that I can then move on with the plans for our spring break trip (so far all we’ve booked are the flights).
How has your week gone when it comes to miles, points and travel? Continue reading Snakes On A Plane, AA Biz Extra Points Value, Hero Pilot Gets $443,000 Bonus, Trumps Plane or AF-1, Win A Share of 1,000,000 AA Miles & More- The Rehash!

Earlier in the week, the US elected a new president. The winner has caused much debate and lots of negative feelings but we’re not here to talk about politics…
We recently took a look back at a post: Does President-elect Donald Trump have a better plane than Air Force One.
While I’m not much of a fan of theme parks, Disney ranks as the most visited park in the word. Well now Donald Trump will be getting his place in the park. Continue reading Donald Trump Being Added To Disney’s Presidents Attraction
In late October, the Michael W Travels family went on a quick trip to Portland, Oregon. This would be the first flight for Theo!
Our day started out very early and before heading over to security at LaGuardia Airport, we stopped by the Amex Centurion Lounge for a quick breakfast.
When we got to security we then encountered a problem. Kim’s NYC ID wasn’t considered a valid form of identification according to the TSA. Continue reading How Did Kim Get To Fly Without Her ID?
