I'm currently in Hartsville, SC for work, which is a small town with only two hotels. Today, I'll be sharing my review of the Fairfield Inn, one of the hotels in Hartsville. While it's not my top choice—I prefer the Hampton Inn across the street—I must say that the Fairfield Inn is perfectly adequate. When... Continue Reading →

Unfortunately this is my second day in a row at MKE, my first flight was cancelled the day before after being delayed by several hours. So instead of going home via DTW, I'm heading to ATL on a...

Hotel Review: Residence Inn Milwaukee Downtown
Another week and another Milwaukee Hotel review. This week I'm staying at the Residence Inn by Marriott Milwaukee Downtown. I really liked the Residence Inn Milwaukee's location, large suites, and room amenities. The hotel was also very clean and priced right. I was a little disappointed by the shower so I'll get into that later.... Continue Reading →
Flight Review: Delta Air Lines A321 Comfort Plus. ATL-MKE
Today I'm riding up to Milwaukee on a Delta A321 in Comfort Plus. At just about two hours, this flight from Atlanta to Milwaukee isn't very long. Just long enough to watch a movie and enjoy a snack. I like riding on the Delta A321 and I especially enjoy Comfort Plus. A little bit of... Continue Reading →

Lounge Review: Delta Skyclub San Diego Airport
Before heading back home, we stopped at the Delta Skyclub here at the San Diego Airport. The San Diego Airport is an outstation for Delta but is large enough to have a Skyclub. I really like the SAN Airport, it's just a nice place to fly to or from. The SAN Skyclub here is no... Continue Reading →

As a quick vacation, we're heading to San Diego. We're staying at the Moxy San Diego Downtown Gaslamp District and it ended up being a great hotel for our stay.

Travel Guide: The American Express Delta Platinum Companion Certificate
As a benefit for holding the Delta Amex Platinum, you get a companion certificate that allows you to bring a friend along for the ride with just paying the taxes and fees. These Delta companion certificates are not the easiest things in the world to use, but over the years I've found a few helpful... Continue Reading →

Flight Review: Delta Air Lines 757-300 First Class. ATL-SAN
It's been several years since I've ridden on the Delta 757-300 in First Class and I'm glad to be back. Delta Air Lines is the largest operator of Boeing 757s and one of only a few airlines that uses the largest 757-300 variant. These are not a very common plane with only 55 produced and...

Lounge Review: Delta Skyclub ATL Concourse F
Delta is a huge player at ATL, it's their home airport and because of that they have 9 Skyclubs spread across the 7 concourses. The flagship Skyclub at Atlanta is the Concourse F Skyclub. This is also my favorite Skyclub here at ATL. If I have the time, I'll certainly make the trip all the... Continue Reading →
Travel Guide: OSL Airport Express Train vs Vy Regional Train. Is FlyToGet worth the money?
The Olso Gardermoen Airport (OSL) is about 35km to the North of Oslo city center. The fastest way into Olso is via the trail. Driving will take more than 40 minutes while the fastest train can have you into the train station in less than 20. I love when public transit is the fastest option.... Continue Reading →
Flight Review: Delta Air Lines CRJ900 Main Cabin Economy. DTW-GSP
The Delta CRJ900 is a common plane. With more than 150 in service, these planes frequent smaller markets from Delta's hubs. I like the Delta CRJ900, even in Main Cabin Economy, it's a comfortable ride over the sub 3 hours flights they are used on. I've reviewed the Delta CRJ900 a few times and here's... Continue Reading →
Lounge Review: Delta Skyclub DTW Concourse C
My favorite major hub airport is the Detroit Airport. Mostly because Delta's McNamara Terminal here at DTW is just a very pleasant place. McNamara terminal is also home to 5 Skyclubs. DTW is divided into three terminals, with A being the largest(with 4 of it's own Skyclubs) and B/C sharing a building and Skyclub. The... Continue Reading →
