Lots of people are concerned about flying on a 787. And, no doubt the news about the recent fires is reason to give some people pause. But, I’m really not concerned. I was quoted in an Associated Press piece yesterday about my confidence in…
Just a quick note on the poll I put up last night. If you happen to be a United Airlines flier and win the contest I’ll be happy to award a United SWU instead. Don’t forget to vote on how you feel about American…
Trying out a poll for the first time. To celebrate, I’ll be giving away either a systemwide upgrade (SWU) on American Airlines. These are valid on pretty much every fare. I may switch this to a free flight in the domestic US on American…
My family and I are traveling to Great Wolf Lodge (trip report and tips for families to follow later), so I probably won’t be posting much in the next couple of days. There’s been a bunch of buzz in the blogsphere over the past…

I received a marketing e-mail from AA today. It’s definitely not the type of e-mail I would normally consider, but it did a good job getting my attention with a 60,000 mile bonus offer for booking a cruise. My family likes to cruise, so…
Hilton just dropped an e-mail in my inbox this evening that features an upcoming 24-hour sale: Obviously, a 40% discount is pretty nice for a quick getaway. And, the extra 2500 points for visiting their Facebook page is a nice pop. But, all of…
