Easter falls so late this year that I don’t have much travel planned in March. April on the other hand presents two good trips from Europe to the West Coast of the USA.

Do you have AA AND US miles? Booking an award? Check first….
A little while ago AA announced their route to HKG from Dallas, which just happens to be one of my favourite cities in the world! However, they didn’t release any of their award seats at Saver Level, meaning that you normally need double the number of miles for a ticket that you need at the…

AA Flagship Check-in @ JFK

As I was connecting from a BA flight and used the AirTrain between terminals, the entrance was right by where the lifts from the AirTrain walkway comes…
