This week I was given an exciting opportunity to do some work in Paris so I hoped on the train and spent 3 wonderful days in the city! Whilst Iwas there I noticed American Express bring out an amzing sign up BONUS! I will put my referral below as you can also bag a few extra thousand points for using that!

Pack your patience! The ongoing U.S. government shutdown has already caused over 1,000 flight cancellations and 5,000 delays at major airports like JFK, Chicago O’Hare, and Atlanta. The FAA warns cuts could rise to 4–10% if it continues and yes, it’s starting to affect some transatlantic flights from Europe too.

Frequent Flyer Briefing, Loyalty Offers & Points Loyalty programs continue to offer significant benefits for frequent travellers. You can earn 2,000 Virgin Flying Club points via the refer-a-friend program, a quick and easy way to boost your balance.
