This is an interesting move on Delta’s part. It probably feels a bit more “USAir-ish”, but not totally unexpected. Essentially, they have a new class of fares that don’t include seating assignments. They are pretty much the same in all other regards to a…
The picture is about a week old, but this is a new dessert they put on the menu at my go-to property in Denver, the Hyatt Regency. Peaks is up on the 27th floor with great views of the Rockies. The new menu item…
After a month of trips mostly on UA during their transition, I had two flights on AA yesterday. I admit to being a bit biased, but what a contrast between the two. Both of my flights today had Gogo internet. In-flight internet really is…

I find myself in Vegas on business a few times a year, and the Cosmopolitan has become my go-to property. The crowd there tends to be younger and a bit more, well, Cosmopolitan. It’s affiliated with Marriott, so there are points to be earned. …
Where to start? Austin Rivers declares for the NBA: Talk about my dream come true. I wrote recently about how Austin Rivers was just plain bad for Duke. Rivers is a nice kid. He’s got a great Dad. He should be a great pro…
