World of Hyatt and American Airlines are going old school. Members of both loyalty programs can enjoy double dip opportunities, earning both points and miles on hotel stays and flights with Hyatt and American.

Every once in a while there are opportunities for me to feature content on Pizza in Motion that otherwise wouldn’t be possible. Today’s post is an example of that. I don’t have any plans to be in Turkey anytime soon, But, my best friend David had a…
It’s worth trying ways to make the passenger experience more pleasant on airplanes, even if some of the proposed solutions don’t sound like they’re actually better. But, is Delta creating more space for passengers? No, not even if they say they are.
Wi-Fi is so critical for me on airplanes, and yet so unreliable. I’ve begun tracking my success rate with Wi-Fi on different carriers to see if my frustration in the moment matches my results.

Maybe I’m calling this one a bit early, but it looks like the brightly colored purple planes of WOW Air are very quickly going to become a memory. On Friday, they announced that their most recent attempt to attract a buyer (Indigo Partners, who…
For this first time I can recall, things have gotten truly ugly with Southwest Airlines and one of their unions. As the mechanics union and management work towards what could be a new agreement, it’s worth asking whether both sides met in the middle or the union got the better end of the deal. At the same time, it’s also worth asking if the unions’ actions are worth risking Southwest Airlines’ enviable culture.
It’s been quiet this week around here. Apologies for that. It was a crazy week of work commitments followed by two of my favorite days of the year, the start of March Madness. I’ve been keeping up on the travel world and have plenty…
Just a bit more on the nicest airport in the United Status. Hope you enjoy!
