I haven’t been traveling to Las Vegas as often as I used to, which has lead to a serious dent in my poker playing. Along with a brief stop at the Palazzo a few weeks ago, I also had a chance to walk through…
The AA pilot’s union continues to think that they’ll get a better deal from US Airways. Their union head thinks that’s the way things are headed right now. This still continues to baffle me. I’ve written before that Doug Parker isn’t really to be…
One of the features I’m enjoying most about the new OS on the iPhone5 is Passbook. Since anyone with an iPhone 4 can also download the new OS, this feature alone may make it worth it if you travel. I wrote about my first…
Might not be important for everyone, but hey, I thought they were all newsworthy. 🙂 American Airlines is talking expansion. They’re talking international expansion, which is music to my ears. I prefer to redeem my miles to cool places all over the world, so…
More Hyatt growth. They’ve announced a new Hyatt Place in Times Square. And, they’re adding another Park Hyatt, this time in Qingdao, China. The TSA kinda screwed up in a pretty meaningful way in terms of randomizing security. Wandering Aramean details how they could…

I posted a few days ago about the recent developments of Lance Armstrong and LIVESTRONG. Again, I thought it would be my last post. I was wrong. I’m sure mine is a polarizing position. One I might have shied away from a few days…
View From The Wing has a synopsis on what is starting to seem like an inevitable change to revenue-based frequent flyer programs by the legacy domestic US carriers. Shockingly, I’m really not a big fan of revenue-based programs. While most of my fellow road…
