Did you submit a picture to win a free airline ticket yet? View From The Wing has some news on changes to the Hyatt Visa card. The card is now free for the first year, which I think is a big plus. Earlier this…
Most people will know the program that covers such brands as Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza and Intercontinental Hotels as Priority Club. They’ve changed the name of the program to IHG Rewards. I don’t find their program that rewarding so I don’t spend a lot…

Denver airport is an airport I fly into and out of quite frequently. They’ve undertaken a massive construction project to not only add a hotel beside the airport but also to bring mass transit (train) to the main terminal as well. There’s some pictures…
A little over a month ago I commented on the impending integration of the Clear lane with TSA Pre-Check at Denver International Airport. Clear, now in it’s second iteration, is a program that provides an opportunity to skip the line when trying to clear…
