My most favorite card in my wallet is the American Express Platinum Card.

A fellow Boarding Area blogger posed a question earlier this week if it is better to fly or drive this Holiday season. I think it totally depends on the person, where you are going and the all in cost and convenience of travel mode. For us, flying made most sense to our first destination, but…

In August Hyatt sent out targeted e-mails to Gold Passport members offering up to 50,000 bonus points for stays up to 20 eligible nights from September 1st thru November 30th, 2014.

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…

Flying back from Vegas at 35,000 feet and getting an aerial view of the Grand Canyon while having a choice of Calzone or Salmon really puts things into perspective.

We shared back in June that US Airways is changing their award chart for domestic award tickets. The changes are now only a few days away.

Like a lot of folks growing up in the states, I didn’t learn a practical second language that I could use on a day to day basis. Speaking with friends from Europe, its second nature to know three or more languages. For all intents, they can’t graduate without being able to speak a third language.…
