Welcome to The Bulkhead Seat!
I’m Anthony, a road warrior who loves all things travel. I have flown over three million miles (mostly in my favorite bulkhead seat: 1B) as I’ve visited over 80 countries.
Premium cabins and luxury hotels are where I am most often found. You can find out more about my preferred travel partners, status with each, and credit cards I’m currently carrying below. Chicago and Tampa are home with time split between them (winters in Florida are a nice change of pace).
The Bulkhead Seat provides the tips and tricks I’ve learned along the way, as well as lots of travel news and my thoughts on airlines, hotels, destinations, attractions, restaurants, and ways to get more out of loyalty programs.
