After igniting his passion for award travel while planning his honeymoon, Ian now enjoys using points and miles to see the world with his wife and three internationally adopted kiddos. He loves dissecting loyalty programs to find maximum value. His goal is to demonstrate that extraordinary travel is possible for the ordinary family.

JetBlue has released some details on some significant improvements for their premium cabin passengers coming in 2025. There are a couple negative adjustments as well, but nothing significant. I want to highlight the coming improvements to their premium cabin changes.
3 Reasons Why I Always Drink The Airplane Coffee
Isn't airplane coffee the best? There is nothing like it. Here's why I order a cup of joe every time I'm high in the sky.
Kosovo Day Trip: A Serbian Monastery, Peja, and Mountain Hospitality
If you visit Kosovo, make sure you get out of Pristina. The capital city is certainly worth exploring for a day, not to mention its one euro macchiatos. But not hitting the Kosovo countryside would be a real tragedy. So, make sure you plan at least one Kosovo day trip.
20 Business Class Experiences: My Rankings
I didn't include any recliner business class in my rankings. I'm only counting long-haul products, or ones that could easily be long-haul if they were installed on an aircraft that could fly that distance. Overall, I tried to balance hard product (i.e. seat) with an overall picture of the soft product (i.e. service and catering).

When I mention Kosovo, many people don't know where it is. If they do, they immediately associate it with the war at the end of the 1990s.

Two Days in Copenhagen: Winter in the Danish Capital
The jet lag is always rough the first couple days in Europe. But I don't let it stop me. With only two days in Copenhagen, I want to experience as much of the Danish capital as I can. From historic castles and palaces to the famous Nyhavn, I fill my day with the city's best sites as I brave the winter chill of a January visit.
