I hope everyone is having a nice weekend so far! I’m at home with family, and am planning a trip for a couple of weeks from now, which should involve some fun airlines… I’m excited to share the details soon, but in the meantime, will finish up my current trip report. On the points &
The Ink Business Cash Credit Card (learn more) is a phenomenal no annual fee business card with a welcome bonus of up to 100K points, up to 5x points bonus categories, and valuable perks, like rental car coverage. Personally I’d consider this to be one of the all-around most lucrative business credit cards, and in particular, one of the best no annual fee cards.
Here’s a topic that I’ve written about in passing endlessly, but which I’ve never dedicated a post to, so I think it’s time. Can we just take a moment to talk about the complete collapse of hotel brand standards over the years? What’s going on, what’s driving this change, and how should us consumers adjust our travel planning because of this?
A passenger traveling in United Airlines’ Polaris business class claims he boarded a long haul flight, only to find a blanket covered in feces at his seat. The crew had nowhere to move him to, so he was forced to stay in that seat for the entire flight… only to later discover that the pillow was covered in feces as well. What exactly is going on here?!
A Sun Country flight attendant is facing assault charges and a lawsuit, over an incident that happened on a flight earlier this month, after people were kicked off a flight. It’s common to see flight attendants kick people off planes with fairly limited repercussions, so at least the assault accountability is good.
Earlier, I covered how Delta issued a memo to flight attendants, related to service changes before flights take off. Specifically, flight attendants will have to collect all service items, including pre-departure drinks, before the aircraft pushes back, rather than just before takeoff.
Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airways has made headlines in Taiwan, after it was revealed that one of the carrier’s inflight announcements referred to Taiwan as part of China. This caused a bit of a diplomatic spat, and the airline was forced to apologize, though let’s see how China feels about this…
Delta flight attendants are being told that they’ll shortly have to prepare the aircraft cabin for takeoff earlier than in the past, and that specifically impacts collecting service items. The airline claims this is an FAA-driven change that applies across the industry, though there’s a bit of nuance to this.
The boutique Ritz-Carlton Reserve brand will be opening its first city hotel, located in a skyscraper. While I’m sure this property will be nice, it sure makes you wonder what the point of hotel branding is anymore… not that this kind of confusion is anything new nowadays.
In this post I’d like to take an in-depth look at InKind, which is a dining rewards program that lets you pay participating restaurant bills through the app and earn a minimum of 20% back in the form of InKind Cash. You can also purchase InKind Cash with promotional bonuses and discounts, making it possible to save considerably more than 20%.
