JW Marriott Starr Pass Resort and Spa – Hotel Review
On our adventure in Tucson, we had the opportunity to hang out at the JW Marriott Star Pass Resort in the off season. It was early January and while the majority of the hotel’s amenities are best for the warm weather, we still had a great time. Here’s a quick review of what to expect at this awesome desert resort. How We Booked The hotel is a Category 5 hotel and so we used some left over Bonvoy...
Should Flight Crew and Airport Employees be Allowed to Do This?
Airports are getting busier and the security lines are getting longer. It’s no secret that travel has become a stressful endeavor, and many of us just want to get to the airplane with as little delay as possible. This also includes the airport staff and flight crew that take you to your destination safely. Many airports have Known Crew checkpoints where crew and employee can undergo an expedited screening. If that line...
British Airways now offers Unlimited Wifi to Select Fliers
Staying connected on a long haul (or even a short haul) flight is becoming more and more crucial. When airlines rolled out wifi years ago, you could expect large fees and slow speeds, and over the years the WiFi on board has been getting much better, albeit at a price. It’s not uncommon for many airlines in the US to charge up to $30 per flight for mediocre wifi, while on some international flights you can expect to see packages...
American Express Didn’t Post my 35% Platinum Card Rebate – Now what?
One of the fantastic features of the American Express Business Platinum card is the 35% rebate on Business and First class flights when you redeem your membership rewards. When you find a killer deal, you can use your Membership Rewards to pay for it, get 35% back, and then also EARN miles on the flight since technically, it was a paid cash ticket. That all sounds great on paper, but what happens when the points DON’T post like...

Male Airport VIP Leeli Lounge
Mention the Maldives and images of pristine turquoise blue waters come to mind. Overwater bungalows with direct jump-in access to the water and romantic sunsets are commonplace in this island paradise. While it’s on almost everyone’s wish list, getting there can be a challenge. Flights are often ridiculously expensive and once you DO get to the islands, a barrage of expensive hotels with...
Hey United Airlines! You’re Drunk, Please, Just Stop.
When you’re driving down the road and you see a car accident, let’s all be honest, you slow down to look. We’re mesmerized by the accident, and even though often times it is gruesome and horrible, we stop, slow down, and look. That seems to be what’s going on here at United Airlines with their new launch of Premier Status and their Premier Upgrade “plan” for 2020. And I’m using the word plan...
Why Now (seriously) is the Right Time for a Delta Amex Card
I know what you’re thinking… another blog post about a credit card. Sure, that’s exactly what this is… but as a Delta Skymiles credit card holder for over a decade, I honestly believe that right now is the best time for you to sign up for any one of their myriad cards. Delta just announced a slew of changes to their card line up, and some of them, honestly, aren’t that bad. There’s been a lot of...
