Why is it that every time I am am getting ready to, fly I hear about some plane accident. The last time I was going getting ready for a trip I stayed-up until about mid-night watching "Air Crash Investigation" on YouTube!
"Two people had minor injuries after a British Airways plane caught fire Tuesday afternoon at McCarran International Airport (Las Vegas International)."

Top Five Airlines Around the World
So, I was trolling Ezine Articles for some good content to add to my blog. I came across this article and was like, "BINGO!"
Just to throw my 2-cents in, the only airline here that I have flown with is Lufthansa. I LOVED IT! Seriously, I am sitting in Economy-Class, as usual, and they come down the isle with warm towelettes! Obviously I excite easily but, seriously that was great!
After you read about these amazing airlines, which I have heard great things about long before I found the article, you will NEED to read my blog post about the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card (Click Here)! You can transfer miles from that card at a 1:1 value to Singapore Airlines and United Airlines. Why does United Airlines get mentioned here? Because they are partners with Lufthansa and All Nippon Airways via the StarAlliance network. So, depending upon the destination, travel dates and time of booking you might be able get a free flight (minus taxes and fees) on one of these highly regarded partner airlines. I should also mention British Airways has a 1:1 point transfer agreement with the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card and they are partnered with Qatar Airways via the OneWorld Alliance. However, I am not too familiar with OneWorld so, I will withhold further comment.
Anyway, I will quite yapping now and let you read the article:

Are you a frequent flyer? Does the flight experience matter to you as much as reaching the destination? Do you keep up with the latest innovations & services in the aviation industry? If the answer to all the questions is yes, look no further. In this post, we bring you the top five airlines in the world.
Emirates, UAE
In the previous decade, the U.A.E's national carrier has managed to secure a place as one of the world's premier long haul carriers. Flying to over 140 destinations over six continents, Emirates flies aircraft exclusively out of its central hub at the Dubai International Airport. The in-flight entertainment system boasts of a wide array of video & audio channels to choose from, making it the winner of Skytrax's award for best in-flight entertainment nine years running.

Lufthansa, Germany
Despite going through several budget cuts, the largest European carrier, Lufthansa's quality of service is still exceptional. Lufthansa makes it to our list as it continues to innovate with new products & services. Try to board one of the newly acquired A380 super jumbos & 748-8 Intercontinentals for a special treat in flying experience.

My Absolute FAVORITE Travel Credit Card!
A month ago today I received an email from Chase Sapphire letting me know that they had, an “Invite A Friend” promotion for their Chase Sapphire Preferred Card. Mostly ignored the email as I did not really know anyone who might be interested however, now a month later, a light bulb finally came on in my head. I though, “Hey, I can share this on my Travel Blog!” After all this is probably the BEST travel card out there, at least the best I have ever had which has been a good number of them.
I LOVE this card, for many reasons. One of my favorite things about this card is just how many rewards programs you can transfer your points to at a 1:1 exchange rate: United Airlines, British Airways, Singapore Airlines, South West Airlines, Amtrak, Hilton, Marriott, and more.
Recently, my mom and I took a train from Portland, OR to San Jose California. We decided to get a roomette so we could sleep better on the 19+ hour ride, plus Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner (Lunch, Dinner then Breakfast in our case) was included. While I do not remember the exact dollar figure at the time, it was between $450 and $500. However, it would only cost 11000 Amtrak Rewards points for that trip. As neither of us had ever been on Amtrak before, we would have had NO rearwards points to cash-in... if we did not have our Chase Sapphire Preferred Card. It took less than 10 minutes for our point to show-up our previously set-up Amtrak Rewards accounts. Note: Amtrak leaves the program December 7th 2015
Other quick points that I like about this card:
#1: NO FOREIGN TRANSACTION FEES! While this feature is becoming more common among credit cards, it is a very convenient feature for big international travelers like myself. Saving about 3% per-transaction. That adds-up fast!
#2: Has An EMV-Chip! America is finally catching on to this but, Europe (the UK especially) has been using this for a while now. Back in 2013, when I was in the UK, I had LOTS of trouble being able to make purchases with my EMV-Chipless card.
#3: Amazing Costumer Service! I think that says it all. They promise to answer before the 3rd ring, or something like that. I have only had to wait once for an agent to come on the line. Every other time, they pick-up immediately.

Disclosure: As a card holder participating in Chase's “Invite a Friend” promotion, I will be rewarded with a set number of points for each person who clicks my referral link, applies for, and is subsequently approved for the credit card. While I try my best to make sure all info which I post about this card is accurate, policies could change. I do NOT work for Chase Bank.
