Today is our first day over the next two weeks as Boardingarea.com’s featured blog, and from COL Glenn, the founder of this blog, and myself (Andy), Welcome, and thank you for checking us out. Hopefully we can elucidate many of the perks that servicemembers can take advantage of when when travelling, and convince you that…
Gang, I know we haven’t posted a lot lately, but Andy and I have been building up to a big event. Each year, Boarding Area makes each blog a “featured blog” which means we get the big picture at the top when we post. This period runs from 28 July – 10 August. I did…
As per View from the Wing, the card with the biggest bonus out there is back! For the past 6 months, people have been taking advantage of 100k AA miles after $10k in spend in 3 months and a $250 annual fee ($450 minus a $200 statement credit). But all of a sudden, a couple…
I have blogged a number of times about LoungeBuddy, the App to help you find a lounge in over 500 airports including the location of USO Clubs. 500+ is pretty outstanding when you realize that they are just reaching their first year anniversary.

The width max has been decreased from 15 inches to 14 inches – not a huge change,…
The President’s Air Force 747-200 is coming up on 30 years of age and in need of replacement. The Government has let a contract for a new jumbo four-engine jet, but it looks like Boeing will be the only bidder. It doesn’t surprise me that Airbus is not bidding; can you imagine the fallout if…
Andy and I have been going for a while with this blog and covered a lot of topics. We don’t have a particular order to what we post, mostly we look for news items and trip reports/ planning. This August we are going to have a couple of weeks as a featured blog on Boarding…
For those of you who are not familiar, Automated Housing Referral Network or AHRN.com, is a service that I looked into when I moved her to the D.C. area. It is a real estate network which helps military members either rent out their property or find rental property. Pretty useful, although I did not end…
