"Don't Call It a Comeback, I've Been Here For Years" - Has British Airways Got it's Swagger Back?
I’m, not saying they’re perfect, but hear me out. British Airways was once the gold standard of aviation - flying with the slogan "The World's Favourite Airline". Then came decades of cost-cutting, IT disasters, catering fiascos, and a general sense that the airline had given up trying. BA became shorthand for past glory, the kind of brand that survives on geographic position, and corporate contracts rather than anyone actively choosing to fly with them. Now, after years of d

Virgin Atlantic's Route to Seoul FINALLY on Sale, Sort of...
Update: Flights using Virgin Points are now on sale. Remember when Virgin Atlantic paused ticket sales for their Seoul route back in July , citing "pending South Korean permit approvals" and posting that playful "Seoul's calling – just not quite yet" message? Well, Seoul is apparently calling Virgin Atlantic now, because tickets are finally – sort of on sale. And we do mean sort of .

easyJet Holidays Amex Offer: Spend £1,000, Get £200 Back
This is actually one of my favourite Amex offers I've seen in a while. American Express has launched a new offer with easyJet Holidays that could save you £200 on your next holiday booking. Why do I love this offer? All too often Amex partners with brands too high-brow for you and I, I don't need £10 back from a brand that sells £200 face creams! But this really is an offer that everyone who reads this can benefit from. What Is This easyJet Holiday Amex Offer? Spend £1,000 or

The End: SeatGuru Finally Calls It a Day
Well, this is a bit sad, isn't it? 25 years on, SeatGuru has officially shut its doors. If you've flown at some point, chances are you've used this website at some point to figure out which seats to avoid on your next flight. What's Happened? SeatGuru launched way back in 2001, and for years it was the go-to resource for checking aircraft seat maps. They offered colour-coded seats showing you which ones were brilliant, which ones were fine, and which ones you absolutely shoul
