Prince of Travel Elites
What program website do you use to generate those awesome flight maps?
Great Circle Mapper @ gcmap.com. It’s essential for all my trip-planning!
I thought only a king or queen could be referred to as “your majesty”. He is a prince, remember ?
Look guys, the website is called Prince of Travel, but I never said I was a prince of any sort 😉
Last year, you did not even know to use Avios to book flight from YYZ to LHR, but to spend money to buy Westjet without any meal supply, now… I have to say you improved a lot, Ricky!
Thank you for the praise, I’d like to think so too! 🙂
These "Booked" Posts are some of my favourite Ricky! The thought process of the different options and what you eventually pick is so neat to see. Very helpful for me.
I’m happy to hear that! I spend lots of time planning trips (probably too much time) so it’s always fun to write about the process and share it with everyone.
St. Pancras Ren is a solid choice! Though keep in mind that access to Chambers Suite are now limited to Plat Premiere and upgrade to a suite in the Chambers wing rarely happens.
I meant to say access to Chambers Lounge is only for Plat Prem
Just made sure to qualify for Plat Premier last week for this very purpose 😉
I enjoy these posts a lot to get some ideas / inspiration for trips.
Do you commonly build trips starting with 1x way bookings like this and figure out the middle portions / return after?
That’s a great question and really depends on what you’re looking to accomplish.
There are many situations in which you might want to use one-way bookings, such as:
On the other hand, if you want to maximize say Aeroplan’s stopover policies, you’d definitely want to book a round-trip.
So for me I’d say it’s an equal mix of both – sometimes I mix two one-ways, while others times I do a simple round-trip. I will say, though, that it’s very unusual for me to actually embark on a trip without having booked the return yet – this trip is very much the exception rather than the rule.
"While I can’t expect her to contribute a full flight review, I’ll make sure to get her impressions of the business class experience on the Irish flag carrier and share them with you"
Such little faith in me, your majesty…
