This woman didn’t handle this well at all. Apparently she was attempting to catch a ferry boat at the Tsawwassen BC Ferries terminal in Canada when she was notified that she missed the boat…by 5 minutes. Her response in the video below: Woman: “You have no idea…[repeated]”…”do you guys know what this meeeiiinnnss…?”…[inaduable] Poor woman.…
The Delta Terminal C Sky Club is tucked away near gate C 37. It’s almost hard to spot as  the entrance is slightly hidden behind a food snack kiosk. But if you know what you are looking for you’ll find it near gate C 37, one of Delta’s newer Sky Club’s in the Atlanta airport.…
Regular readers know we here at Points, Miles & Martinis usually fly Delta Airlines when possible, both for convenience, inflight experience and for reliability. So it was a departure from the norm when we decided to book 5 US Airways First Class awards on the same flight to the west coast on a recent ski…
On a recent return trip to the Andaz 5th Avenue, I had the opportunity to experience a suite I haven’t stayed in before. In the past, the Splash Suite At The Hyatt Andaz 5th Avenue In New York City and the Andaz Suite At The Hyatt Andaz 5th Ave New York have provided more than enough space. So I…
Good morning all you Delta Flyers out there. And a good morning to all you Delta haters as well. It’s another day, and if you have another flight on the books, that may mean there is another Delta breakfast option to melt your mouth. In the past, we’ve shared Delta’s First Class Lox Croissant Breakfast, Delta’s First Class Omelette, another…
I recently found myself in LAX and with time to kill on my hands. At first I had some drinks with friends and a nice view. Then I took to twitter, found one of the best places to eat in the LAX airport and had a nice burger and martini on my 5 hour layover. But…
The “bump” in airline frequent flyer speak means free money. If a flight is oversold, they voluntarily “bump” flyers from the flight in exchange for flight vouchers good for future flights. Some people book flights just for the prospect of getting a “bump” from a flight. When Delta’s $600 Bump Isn’t Enough On this particular…
What do you do on a 5 hour layover in Los Angeles International Airport? Search the airport for a good place to eat, catch up with friends and drink, of course. But if you aren’t a regular visitor to the Los Angeles Airport, where do you go? The first stop might be to consult twitter and…
Delta has recently announced their new premium economy class called Comfort+. The new premium economy class comes with perks like free alcoholic drinks, snacks, newly designed seats and extra legroom. These seats are being rolled out and I hadn’t seen them yet, until tonight. First Look: New Delta Comfort+ On Delta 767 As I boarded…
On a recent trip home from Seattle I had the opportunity to select a flight operated by one of Delta’s many jets. And without question, I chose the newest Jet in their fleet on this route, the 737-900. It turns out I was not alone. Based on the Double MQM promotion offer to or from Seattle,…
The Lodge And Spa At Callaway Gardens is a Marriott Autograph Collection property that we recently stayed at for one night. Here is my trip report and review of both the hotel and some of the attractions that we visited while we were there including the Birds of Prey show and the Fantasy of Lights.…
There are many places to eat on Paradise Island or on the main island of Nassau in the Bahamas, but none come with quite the storied history, let alone wine cellar of the Graycliff Mansion. So we couldn’t resist when one of the members of our party had the bright idea of dinning in the…
There is a renewed interest in the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort & Spa in Bonita Springs due to the recent category downgrade with Hyatt’s reward chart. Previously I mentioned this is one of Hyatt’s best kept secrets, so I was surprised and yet at the same time excited to see it downgraded. New Award Chart Changes…

Almost half of our close extended family just got off a US Airways First Class flight. For some, it was their first, First Class flight (Baby Weekly Flyer), for others, it was their first US Airways First Class flight (Toddler Weekly Flyer). For me, it was a long over due return to US Airways First Class.…
Here comes Delta with another huge Sky Club enhancement. This time it’s a good one and a true game changer. The average Delta business traveler (based on my scientific first hand knowledge) gets up early in the morning, catches an Uber or drives to the airport, and heads to the Sky Club lounge. Currently, most…
Late last year Delta announced they will be flying their new Flat Bed Business Elite seats between LAX and New York. These seats look awesome for domestic travel let alone short haul international travel. Sadly I haven’t flown them yet. But that may change today as I’m flying on a 757-200. To date, I’ve only…
Mrs, Weekly Flyer and I stopped for 1 night in San Francisco on our way up to Napa. After a long flight from Atlanta to San Francisco we arrived very late to the W Hotel and crashed knowing that we had one quick activity the next morning before picking up our rental car and heading…
As I was writing my post yesterday, Quick, Cheap and Easy Recipes for the Road Warrior, I started to think of my general health. I try to run 4-5 miles a day and eat as healthy as possible while traveling. Despite these efforts, it’s important to remember that we all run the risk of having something…
I’m not gonna lie – I was spoiled at a 5-star luxury resort last week. I reviewed it here. But when I really thought about it, it was easy to pick out the top 10 items that I loved about the the things in the room – other than the gorgeous furnishing and scenery. I…
