This time we bring you a tropical libation from the great St. Regis Bahia Beach trip we had a few weeks back. Upon check-in a few years ago, a rum fruit punch was offered. Not this time. The St Regis has upped their game with this welcome amenity. St Regis Bahia Beach Happy Hour The…
I’m at the Park Hyatt in Seoul this week. I am both a points-and-miles junkie as well as a cocktail junkie, so I always have a tough time choosing between the Hyatt Diamond food-and-beverage amenity and the points. I usually take the food-and-beverage at Park Hyatts and the points at other Hyatt hotels. Park Hyatt…
Points, Miles and Martinis is always receiving emails from readers who ask questions about interesting travel situations. We run around in such a small community it feels like everyone of our readers is a friend, a friend of a friend or a future friend. What a close bunch of travelers we are! PMM Introduces Travel Tip Tuesdays We started this…
That’s right, starting December 1st, Delta is expanding its selection of regional and craft beers to the East Coast Shuttle, West Coast Shuttles and on transcontinental flights. I think Beer-Thirty just got a little bit better in Business Class on Delta flights. But don’t worry if you’re an epicurean stuck in economy, you can still enjoy…
One of the nice things about staying in a resort is that there is always the possibility of happy hour … even mid-morning happy hour. It’s my final day at the Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi which is spectacular and decided to head the pool for some cocktails! Expect a full hotel review to come, meanwhile…
I was there not too long ago, as I’m sure you have been as well. After a long day of traveling, client meetings, long check-in lines and an upgrade to an accessible room, it’s time to relax and unwind. As you go to pour out your prize for the evening, you realize a wine bottle…
Tapas is a term for a small plate, or appetizer, served all over Spain. Tapa can be hot dishes, or cold side snacks. One of the largest ‘tapas markets’ in Madrid is the Mercado De San Miguel. It’s next to the Plaza Mayor in the city center. It’s an upscale (almost gourmet) open market where…
In the past, we’ve shared “How To Take The edge Off” from your hotel room. That was a hit and many people could connect with the approaches we shared in that post. In this one, we’ll share a simple few steps that can help you enhance your cocktail made right from your hotel room, with…
This week marks the very first time in history that a beer pong tournament was played onboard an International First Class flight. And we have the pictures to prove it. Some friend who had the ENTIRE first class cabin on an Air China 777ER in the Forbidden Pavilion First Class cabin from Houston to Beijing…
It’s no secret that I like to partake in a happy hour or two, especially when flying. I think it is best when you have a drink you enjoy and can save a few bucks while enjoying it. For me, there’s no question I like the Woodford Reserve offered onboard Delta’s flights. They’ve also “re” introduced…
When it’s time for a beer and a snack it’s always 5 o’clock in some lounge somewhere. On this night in the Sky Club it called for an ice cold Bud-heavy, spicy nuts and yogurt covered pretzels. I miss the days of self pour Blue Moon in special clubs. I miss the ice cold Heinekens…
One thing I always find interesting is the dilemma people go through at airport club lounge bars when they get a free drink. Do you tip for the free drink or act like you already paid for the service? On a recent trip to a Delta SkyClub, I was in line behind a guy who…
The other day we ran a small contest to see who could name the location of this happy hour photo. A winner would be selected from the guesses and be sent two Delta inflight certificates good through the end of 2014. Congratulations To The Winner There were no correct guesses but the closest guess was…

A brief few words about Points, Miles & Martinis after a humble start and 5 years in the making. I started this blog with a buddy back in 2009 after a long night on the road talking about the better aspects of travel…the times when you can redeem points and miles for awesome trips where…
First Class comes with many perks including extra legroom, priority boarding, yummy snacks, full meals and most of all refreshing complimentary beverages. But sometimes on short flights you don’t get to take advantage of all the benefits due to reasons out of your control. Maybe you boarded just as the doors were closing and you…

It doesn’t have to be five o’clock to enjoy a happy hour. But in case it is and a nice view like this can’t hurt. Can you guess this happy hour photo location? The location is approximately 4,100 feet in elevation. Spring hasn’t quite sprung here yet. What’s your guess and where’s your happy hour…
Happy Friday Everyone! It may be only 20 degrees tonight in NYC but that won’t stop me from heading out to NYC Restaurant Week. I’m having a nice dinner/happy hour tonight at Dos Caminos on Park Avenue. As a reminder NYC restaurant week runs now through March 7th, and offers 3 course meals for $25 for…
Wow, Delta has really been on a roll lately. First by UP-ing their already good Food & Beverage game and now with their inflight cocktails. We shared the news about the increasing SkyClub Food options, new meals on JFK routes, then a new menu from Atlanta. Now they are improving the drinking experience with four…
