There is no requirement to serve the Boarding Area ad feed as part of being on the site. At least one of the blogs has no ads at all. Another is currently using a personal set of links from LinkOffers. Another is using AdSense.

And those are just a few I know of the 70ish blogs total aggregated in the site.

Really though - I learned a lot from Lucky and there's still some good posts but it seems since his big day in RS that it's just been the same over and over again.

You know what was well played? The catfight exchange between The Points Guy and you yesterday. #teamonemileatatime. Video was deleted off his IG but I was really enjoying that banter. Are you leaving LA already? T-swizzle has 5 concerts lined up in LA this weekend!

What catfight? What did I miss??

Can anyone provide any color to this one? I'm still in the dark. Love a little blogger drama.
Reader sent it to me while it was happening.
Brian drunk posted a video of himself showering aboard an EK A380. And it devolved into some sort of argument/flirt session between him and Ben about basic bi----- and who's the better businessman, among other topics.

I may have saved a few screenshots if you actually care.

I think MrPickles caught on to this. Brian Kelly is known for using the phrase "Pinch Me" (most likely in regards exceptional service he has receivied from an airline or hotel after reaching out to their marketing/PR department) which has lead to MrPickles using the hashtag #pinchme after he was blocked on all forms of social media by Brian.

Yea, it does look like RS was a career peak. But his blog is basically First Class flying and credit card churning. How much "new" can there be in all that?

Not much. Once you learn from it, you grow out of the blog and can graduate to FT . But OMAAT is where I direct newbies interested in this game; I think FT can be too intimidating and dense for people who don't know the basics well.

Matt is just an excuse for Ben to cover the same material from a different perspective. I believe he's covered Emirates 15+ times in the past year? He's also had Tiffany, his mom, and his dad give their input. IMO he doesn't bring any value to the blog.

Can't say I disagree. But what would bring value to the blog at this point? It really does feel tired, and Lucky needs to spruce it up, lest it really decline.

dawned on me that if I can monetize one website, why not three or five or 50! So then I expanded my portfolio of websites.
OMAAT makes a ton from award bookings
