When my family decided to meet in the UK for a vacation, I used the opportunity to explore my options for redeeming my Chase Sapphire credit-card points.
I decided to splurge for a business-class ticket for the return flight so that I had something fun to look forward to at the end of my trip.
After scouring some mileage blogs for the best options, I settled on Virgin Atlantic's Upper Class, which is a transfer partner for Chase. Booking about four months ahead of my trip, I ultimately spent 47,500 points from my Chase account plus $781.50 in cash.

In an era where international travel is rapidly bouncing back, United Airlines is making bold strides. Their aim isn't merely to transport passengers from one corner of the globe to another; it's to ensure that those hours in transit are restful. With the most ambitious overhaul of the United Polaris business class since 2016, the airline is laser-focused on a singular mission: granting passengers the best sleep in the sky.
For many travelers, arguably the majority of travelers, upgrading to business class is about one main thing: getting better sleep in the sky. So, it’s perhaps not too surprising that United Airlines’ newest upgrades to its Polaris international business-class seats are focused on helping fliers better rest and relax.
Fall is underway, and Virgin Atlantic is the latest airline to celebrate the season by rolling out new menus across all cabins.
When it comes to premium cabins, most of the innovation happens in the Asia-Pacific region (including the Middle East). This is where most premium airlines are, and they all want the big money customers.
In 2022, Adam and Kirsty Golder's UK-based aviation company, G6 Aviation, received an odd request. A potential customer wanted to know how much it would cost to charter a jet from London to the US for 10 people — and 10 dogs.
