This past weekend Lucas and I headed off on our first Father Son Trip. We had a long day of travel but we were pretty comfortable considering we flew in Business Class.

We’re excited to spend the next bunch of days getting a taste of Poland. We’ll be visiting Krakow and Warsaw. I’m guessing we’ll return in the future to see more of the country.

JetBlue, One of Top 10 Places to Work in America

JetBlue

When I read that JetBlue opened a boutique hotel for its employees last year, I figured that it had to be a great place to work. (They also have JetBlue University, a training campus for the company.)

A few weeks after reading of the new employee hotel, I found out that JetBlue was considered by Forbes to be one of the top 25 companies to work for in the country!

This year the airline has done even better! Continue reading JetBlue, One of Top 10 Places to Work in America

Compensated For Flying Coach, Citi AA Retention, JFK Runway Run, Aviator Red Bonus Offers, Uber Reeducating Drivers, Disney Dating Site & More- The Rehash!

Rehash

The first week of a new month brought nothing exciting or new to report when it comes to miles, points and travel.

Our next trip is fast approaching as we leave in less than three weeks. It’s definitely time to start putting together some sort of itinerary and booking some hotels (If we can even find any available). Odds are high that we’ll most likely book stays through Airbnb.

Before booking with Airbnb, I still need to purchase some gift cards and save $50 off $100 thanks to Amex Offers. Continue reading Compensated For Flying Coach, Citi AA Retention, JFK Runway Run, Aviator Red Bonus Offers, Uber Reeducating Drivers, Disney Dating Site & More- The Rehash!
