It seems there are less loopholes available today than when I first got into this hobby 15 years ago. I hear from so many folks who value miles, points and elite status differently. While I might not be the biggest fan of IHG, I wanted to cover this potential shortcut in a short post in case it helps any of my readers.
The Best of the Rest is my effort to summarize all the travel/miles & points stories that interested me on a daily basis but didn’t have time to write about in length. Culled from over 100 blogs/authors I follow, some are passed along without comment, while I add my analysis to others. This is your shortcut to find out what’s going on in the travel world without having to read dozens of travel blogs to get all the best info.

The FastPass system at Disney World can be complicated. But, apparently not too complicated for some folks to figure out loopholes. Disney has moved to close one of the loopholes I’ve heard about in the past.
A reporter spent 8 days in a hilarious and depressing journey around the country on airplanes.
A few weeks after I first spotted private jet memberships at Costco, they’ve lowered the price.
United Airlines has been rolling out Basic Economy fares on so many routes. At this point, pretty much all domestic routes offer Basic Economy in some fashion. How many people are booking them, and how much money is it generating for United Airlines?
This is a really broad sale to Europe, covering more than a dozen departure cities from the United States and half a dozen destinations in Europe.
Definitely the cheapest fare I’ve seen to Las Vegas in a long time.
It shouldn’t be a shock to anyone, including me, when the airlines take things away from customers. And yet, I was surprised recently on a flight. What’s your opinion?
