Finding Your Alaska Airlines Record Locator Booked on American Airlines

I’ve previously shared a handy tip for finding your OneWorld record locator booked on American Airlines. But what about an Alaska Airlines record locator booked on American Airlines?

Trip Report: Cathay Pacific 777-300ER Premium Economy | Los Angeles to Hong Kong

Making my way to Singapore, my outbound transpacific leg would be in Cathay Pacific 777-300ER Premium Economy.

Lounge Review: Cathay Pacific | The Pier First Class Lounge | Hong Kong

Lounge Review: Cathay Pacific | The Pier First Class Lounge | Hong Kong

Hong Kong is one of my favorite airports for lounge access, thanks to Cathay Pacific’s phenomenal lounges at their home base airport. All of the lounges set the bar high but The Pier First Class Lounge sets the highest bar in Cathay Pacific’s lounge portfolio. While some may prefer The Wing First Class Lounge with it’s polished black finishes, The Pier is all round a winner for me. Fresh off my 15 hour flight from LAX, some lounge time and…

Traveler Question: How do I find my OneWorld Record Locator using my American Airlines Record Locator? I won’t be the first blogger to share this tip with you but it’s information that a lot of travelers are on the search for.
