I use Bose QuietComfort 25 Headphones. I paid $300 for mine when I bought them. Amazon has them on sale for an amazing $125.
Regular price is now $279. They went on sale for Black Friday at $179. $125 is the lowest I’ve seen. But what if I told you they could be further discounted to $77?
Radisson reached out and asked if I wanted to give away points to readers to highlight their credit card. I’m always thrilled to give away points, especially a lot of them, and they’ve provided me with (3) sets of 100,000 point prizes. Each prize is worth up to 3 nights.
I just signed up for the CitiBusiness® / AAdvantage® Platinum Select® World Mastercard®, taking advantage of the best-ever offer of 70,000 miles after spending $4,000 within the first 4 months of account opening.

This is going to be a fairly technical post but I’ll do my best to explain it simply.

etBlue just ordered 60 Bombardier C-Series jets, now called the Airbus A220, at fire sale prices.
Now JetBlue’s founder, Dave Neeleman, is about to finalize his own order for 60 Airbus A220s to launch his new US airline that’s tentatively named ‘Moxy’.
United is taking a goldilocks approach, announcing a small order for new aircraft: 25 Embraer E-175s to be delivered in 2019 and replace the same number of Bombardier CRJ-700s and 4 Boeing 787-9s that will replace widebodies in 2020.
They continue to scour the market for used aircraft so don’t view this as a shift to a fleet renewal strategy.
Through August 1 the ETA app is offering 5000 United miles.
ETA says their competitive advantage is quickly helping you figure out the trip that’s right for your schedule and preferences so that booking is done in 5 minutes.
A roundup of the most important stories of the day. I keep you up to date on the most interesting writings I find on other sites – the latest news and tips.
We’ve all seen people that bring on bags which simply don’t fit int he overhead, or where they’re one of the last passengers to board and there’s not enough bin space left to fit a full sized carry on.
This passenger wasn’t going to accept either constraint of physics as he pushed, prodded, and shoved.
News came out this past week that an FAA inspector developed a close relationship with an American Airlines manager, and ignored important safety tips.
The Department of Transportation’s Inspector General found problems at the FAA’s safety oversight at American. Their report found concerns raised by the airline’s pilots union going unaddressed for a year and a half, suggesting that “FAA’s oversight office for American Airlines lacked objectivity in its review and did not respond to concerns about unqualified pilots and unsafe conditions during maintenance verification flights.”
