9 Months Down Under, Finnair Award Seat Guarantee and More

9 Months Down Under: Our partner Zac at Travel Freely is in the middle of a 9-month trip to Australia and New Zealand. His family can walk to the beach. I’m so jealous! You can read about how it’s going here. This kind of “short-term relocation trip” is something me and my husband have talked about doing someday. Our biggest hesitation is that we have dogs we won’t leave for that long.

Fly to Europe in Business Class for 55k Miles Round-trip Using Miles and More Mileage Bargains: Lufthansa’s Miles and More program doesn’t get a lot of press on the blog, but it also has monthly award travel sales. And, it’s not just Lufthansa, it also includes Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Eurowings, LOT Polish and Swiss. See this post on Award Wallet. My husband and I each recently got the Lufthansa Miles and More credit card with 100k bonus miles, but it appears the bonus is back to 50k now.

Capital One Lounge Denver Now Open: The Capital One Lounge in Denver just opened today! This location is the third one to open, after DFW Airport and the Washington Dulles locations.
