Becoming a Known Traveler
Last week I had a appointment to interview for my "Known Traveler" number; I was applying for TSA Pre-Check. However, the lady made known to me that this was not good for international travel, and upon further inquiry, I decided to apply for Global Entry instead, which included TSA Pre-Check, and is only $15 more. My application is still in review... more updates when they become available.

Save Cash Flying Into These Alternative US Airports
My personal addition to this list would be to fly into the Sanford International Airport (SFB) in stead of the Orlando's main airport (MCO). As I have mentioned in a previous post, I like to fly with Allegiant Airlines which has its' largest East-Coast Hub at SFB. You can use the airport code "ORL" to get results for both SFB and MCO on most flight search engines.
Also, this works for others cities with multiple airports. Example: For New York City, USA and London, UK area airports you can simply enter "NYC" and "LON" respectively.

"Traveling is so much better when you can make it both cheap and easy. And sometimes all you have to do to kill both birds with the same stone is fly into an airport that’s near where you really want to go. We’ve looked at some of the biggest cities in the United States to see what airports you should fly into, and some of the information might surprise you." See the list here!

The 14 Longest Non-stop Flights in The World
These are some long flights. At about 9.5 hrs, my flight from Fort Lauderdale, FL to Frankfurt, Germany, was probably my longest flight. But that is nothing compared to these!
"Flying from one end of the world to the other takes a long time, but luckily for passengers it is taking much less time with the introduction of non-stop flights. What used to be a two-day journey from New York to Hong Kong can now be done in just about 16 hours.
Engineers have worked hard over the years to come up with innovative ways to make airplanes go faster and longer distances, without having to stop. Although these 16 hour journeys may take a long time, there are plenty of on-board amenities to keep passengers happy. Discover 14 of the longest non-stop flights in the world, and why flying long distance is easier than ever." - http://www.escapehere.com/

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:
