Disney World is adding another way to get more FastPasses. Instead of just 3 FastPass reservations ahead of time, certain guests will be able to purchase additional advance FastPass reservations. Is it worth it? Is it fair?

Marriott has released a summer promotion. You’ll want to make sure you register. It may not blow your socks off, but could be worth a few extra points depending on your summer travel plans. This one is mostly beneficial for road warriors.

Hyatt & AA Now More Rewarding & Concert Tix For 5K Hilton Points

Wondering how many points or miles you should be holding onto? That’s the question I answer in this week’s Final Two Pennies. Each person has their own motivation when it comes to travel and how to redeem your miles and points. Don’t let me change your mind if you already have a clear direction. But, if you’re not 100% sure, listen in and let me give you my two cents. We’ve also got Gary Leff of View From The Wing back on to talk about the new partnership between AA and Hyatt […]

From Porto to Ponta Delgada: My Azores Airlines Review

I’m picking back up where I fell off the apple cart on my trip to Porto, Azores and Lisbon. Next up is a review of Azores Airlines. They’re an airline you may not be considering, but they fly to a place you definitely should. You can see what I’ve covered so far: Sheraton Porto Review If You Had One Day In Porto….. The Azores are a place that has enchanted me for quite some time. I’ve been fortunate enough to end up in Lisbon a few times on business trips […]

BOGO Frontier Tix And Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Strategies!

On this week’s episode of the Miles To Go podcast, we’re talking Frontier Airlines and Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Frontier Airlines has done a great job drawing attention to themselves in a good way. They rolled out a new loyalty program, then introduced “Kids Fly Free“. Now, they’ve introduced “Friends Fly Free”. Jen joins us to give you the lowdown on how Frontier is getting you there even cheaper. They may not be luxurious, but I actually don’t mind flying them. You can expect to get at least as much […]

I Flew Frontier, Saved $400 And Didn’t Die. My Frontier Airlines Review

Those low-cost carriers always have very appetizing fare sales. Who wouldn’t want to pay $20 to fly somewhere? But, what does $20 really buy you? I found out exactly what Frontier does (and doesn’t) offer customers on my first flight with them recently.

How To Use New Metro Silver Line To Get Between Dulles and Reagan National Airports

People talk about how bad the traffic is in places like Los Angeles with plenty of adjectives. And, it is quite bad. But, the traffic in DC is what I refer to as “stealthy bad”. It doesn’t get the same press that LA traffic does, but a trip that normally takes an hour can easily turn into a 3-hour ordeal. With visiting dignitaries, protests and construction as variables, weather can also wreak havoc on a system that consistently backs up during rush hour. For those of us that live in […]

A Summary Of United Airlines Global Services Benefits

As travel has gotten more stressful the benefits of elite status are even more valuable. In some cases, what used to be free for everyone is now only free for those customers that fly most frequently. I value my American Airlines Executive Platinum status more highly than any status I’ve earned, including 1K service with United Airlines. However, Global Services is another matter. For those not aware, Global Services is an invitation-only status level that United bestows on their best customers. What defines a best customer? Well, United doesn’t list […]

Update: American Airlines Variable Choice Plus Pricing A Feature, Not A Bug

I have to admit, I was pretty pleased with the original announcement that American Airlines was creating bundled pricing that included change fees at a lower apparent cost. Things got a little better when American also announced they were expanding the timeframe you could request a same day change to your flight. And, then things started to get a bit screwy. It started with just one flight I couldn’t get to price right with Choice Plus as an add-on. But, then I did a bit more digging and found out […]

Is Foursquare Dead?

Venture Beat doesn’t think so, and I’m not 100% sure they’re wrong. But, before I discuss the article, a little background on why someone allergic to social media like me became a Foursquare nut. A few years ago, a company called TopGuest came up with this concept where you could earn airline miles and hotel points for checking in at various places on Foursquare. I can’t say I thought it was a terribly good business model, but they convinced a bunch of hotel chains to hand out miles for this. […]
