Our Recent Covid-19 Hotel Stay, How Different Was It?
Just last weekend we decided to fire up the car and head on an old fashioned road trip. Flying wasn’t in the cards quite yet, and we got a new puppy a few months back. We thought this might be the perfect chance to get him on the road, and also test the waters for heading back out there into the travel world. We knew that things were going to be different, but weren’t quite prepared for just HOW different things would be....

After 15 years of operation in the country, LATAM Argentina formally announced that they are going to stop operating in the country effective immediately. This means that there will now be an almost full monopoly on routes inside of Argentina, and a suspension of services to Santiago, Lima, Miami and Sao Paolo.

Citi Premier Adding $100 Hotel Credit and Supermarket Bonus
I”m really pleased to see credit cards responding to the needs of consumers during this covid-19 pandemic. We’ve seen companies adding extra credits and bonuses to help offset the annual fees for many cards. Citi Prestige, their high value high-annual fee card got a lot of attention recently, but the mid-tier Citi Premier card had been widely ignored. Many card members, including yours truly, got a letter in the mail...

Delta’s Quirky Way to Service First Class
Before Quarantine, I was flying back on a Delta Airlines flight from Detroit to Seattle, eagerly awaiting my meal while sitting in the bulkhead, row 1. As I took off my new Bose headphones to talk to the flight attendant, she just walked right by me to the back of the cabin. Say What?! Turns out, as much as I’ve flown on Delta (I’m almost a one million miler), they’ve got a type of service called FEBO. Most...
How Exactly do Airports get their Codes?
If you’ve ever flown into an airport and wondered how in the world you managed to go from SDF to ORD (that’s Louisville to Chicago) and instead not from LOU to CHI, you’re not alone. The mystery of some airports’ codes goes back decades and often has nothing to do with the actual city, the airport, or the area itself. Some airports like SEA (Seattle), MIA (Miami), RDU (Raleigh Durham), and DEN (Denver) are...
