Last week, the Michael W Travels family flew home from Barcelona to NYC with a stop in London.
During our journey, we encountered a flight delay which caused some issues. (Possibly more on that another time…)
When looking over our boarding passes, four letters stood out for my flight from London (LHR) to New York (JFK), SSSS. Continue reading I Got The Dreaded SSSS On My Boarding Pass & It Wasn’t So Bad
In 2017 I wrote a review of what I considered to be the most interesting Priority Pass lounge we ever visited.
The lounge I am referring to was actually a restaurant at London Gatwick Airport. The way a visit worked was that with your membership, you received a £15 credit. Guests of the card holder also receive this credit off the bill.
When I heard that Bobby Van’s Grill at JFK Airport had become a Priority Pass lounge, I wanted to visit but it just never worked out until our recent flight to Barcelona. Continue reading Disappointing Priority Pass Lounge: Bobby Van’s Grill- JFK Airport
Over President’s Week Break, the Michael W Travels family took a trip to Spain (Barcelona) and Andorra.
It was really great revisiting the first city I ever went to in Europe. We also had an excellent but short visit to Andorra. This tiny country has some fun things to see and do. We actually could’ve used another day there. I guess we could always go back some day.

When visiting international destinations, I always visit McDonald’s to check out what local menu items might be available.
We also like to try local fast food burger shops. I haven’t written about many of them but you can check out my review of one in Bahrain here.
During a recent trip to France, we had a long list of places to dine at. One that I hoped to try was the French version of McDonald’s called Quick. Continue reading A Visit To The French Version of McD’s, Quick Burger Restaurant
Richard Branson is celebrating his birthday by heading off to Havana, Cuba with Virgin Voyages.
To make the event even more fun, Virgin Voyages is running a sweepstakes where one lucky winner will win a trip for two aboard the ship! The only issue with the prize is that airfare isn’t included, so the winner will have to get to Miami on their own.
While I am not a fan of cruises, I’d love to win this prize. Continue reading Win A Virgin Voyages Trip For 2 To Cuba With Richard Branson
Last weekend, the Michael W Travels family headed off on our first trip of 2019 (over President’s Week break).
We headed to a destination which was the first city I ever visited in Europe- Barcelona. We also included a visit to Andorra, a first for all of us.
I was happy to find award availability for our flights using American Airlines AAdvantage miles. The only issue was the time of the flight. Continue reading Possibly The Worst Time To Fly To Europe
