I’m a bit late on reporting this, but Hilton has a double/triple points promotion in place for the summer. Double points isn’t all that exciting considering that Hilton points aren’t all that valuable. The triple points is more appetizing, but only valid for the…
I would guess that most people think of the start of summer as whenever their kids are done with school. Or, if you’re a kid, then it’s definitely when you’re done. Since my wife is a school teacher (well, until August anyway), that’s always…
The bankruptcy judge presiding over AMR’s bankruptcy filing quickly granted them an extension that allows them to control their own fate in bankruptcy longer. I’ll admit to being a little surprised, especially with such a quick decision. I was doubting it a bit just…

I received notification that CLEAR is now active at DFW airport. While it’s a small list, it now includes DEN, MCO, SFO and DFW. I wrote about the benefits of both CLEAR and TSA Pre-Check recently, and I still think both have their own…
