Another week, another heaping of awesome travel news!
- Probably the biggest travel news of the week was Club Carlson’s sneaky try-to-be-stealthy removal of the Bonus Award Night feature of their credit card. That’s a major bummer as the ability to effectively double your points was one of the best deals out there.
- One take on the best swimming spot in every state? How many have you been to?
Sand Harbor on Lake Tahoe
- Did you know that there are only 2 escalators in the entire state of Wyoming? (and other travel news from around the Internet)
- Find out what I’m doing now that American and US Airways have combined their miles
- Following up with that, I find that I tend to get “analysis paralysis” when trying to book an award – always looking for the “perfect” trip.
- Would you rather have 10,000 SPG points or 50,000 Hilton HHonors points?
- Emirates First Class and Business Class availability is now BACK showing on the Alaska Airlines website
