If you want to travel smarter, fly upgraded, lounge more, and spend less, you’re in the right place.


ABOUT ME
Travel Blogger & Flight Expert specialising in luxury-for-less travel, Avios & loyalty programmes.
Hi, I’m Paul, the travel blogger behind Mr Plane Guy, flying light with a small carry-on and big plans.
Before blogging, I spent over 15 years working in aviation – first as long-haul cabin crew flying up to ten transatlantic trips a month, then later as a Performance Delay Manager at one of London’s busiest airports. I even trained as a Flight Dispatcher.
I’ve lived the jet lag, the delays, the chaos and the magic, so when I talk about travel, it’s not theory. I’ve been there, on both sides of the terminal.
Now I share everything I’ve learned through Plane Reviews, Plane Luxury Escapes, and Plane Points & Miles, showing you how to travel smarter and fly better, with first-class experiences at economy prices.
From Avios and Virgin Red for beginners to airport lounge reviews, airline guides and loyalty hacks, this is travel made simple, savvy and just a little bit cheeky.
Plane News Weekly is where it all takes off – my weekly newsletter packed with the latest flight deals, points bonuses and plane-smart travel updates.
