My First Time Flying Intra-European Business Class, A Surprisingly Enjoyable Experience
Finally, last month, I took my first flight in business class on European airline solely within Europe. From what I've heard from other bloggers and frequent flyers, I was to expect poor service, awful legroom, and little to no onboard amenities.

An AvGeek Moment: Dissecting The Album Cover of a New Rap Song
If you're an avgeek like me, you're probably quick to (over) analyze photos or videos featuring an airport or an airline. It never fails. If I see an airline, airplane, or an airport featured in pop culture or media, I always want to know more about the image or clip. What aircraft are featured in the image? What airline is that? Have I flown into that airport before? Those are just a few of the questions that come to mind when air travel blends with pop culture or media.

Here's why our dinner only confirmed that the SELECT Black Card is worth it.

Review: WestJet Plus is a Surprisingly Enjoyable Experience
WestJet, Canada's original low-cost-carrier, is making a rather rapid transition to a full-service carrier. Nowhere is this more clear than in the airline's increasingly premium Plus product. Launched as a premium economy product, Plus was originally, rather standard and resembled an economy comfort product.

We flew on a WestJet Boeing 737-700 still featuring the original product, and while the seats were not much of an upgrade, the in-flight service and amenities are a significant and welcomed upgrade.
