Just got an email from United to remind me about this promo, now that the rules are fully out there. First of all, for those of you not familiar with the promotion, here are the details. I think this is one heck of a cool promotion, and there are some serious prizes at stake here! [...]

While this wont make any of us better travelers, I found it to be interesting. My brother emailed me a link to a short film that Ritz Carlton made, titled “The Delay,” with two more short films being released in the next few months. I would check it out before reading the rest of this.

With mergers potentially on the horizon (or in the case of DL/NW, very likely), I started asking myself if now is the right time to request a status match. Airlines typically match status, often only upto the middle tier, once in a lifetime, meant mostly for people that switch loyalty. Since I’m still young I haven’t [...]

I posted yesterday about the new partnership between United and Westin, initially including pillows and blankets from the “Heavenly Bed” collection on Premium Service flights, which I would assume will be rolled out on international flights within a few months. Yahoo had an article today which took the concept one step further, now including a special [...]

This is an irrational rambling. OK, you’ve been warned!
So one of the two continents (the other being Antarctica) that I haven’t visited yet is South America. I figured I would give the standard trips to Asia and Europe a break in order to plan a trip to South America during my summer break, which is winter [...]

The “Travel Watch” section of the WSJ today had an interesting section regarding Westin bedding products making their way onto United flights:
Westin Takes Flight
This year, Westin Hotels & Resorts will start putting products from its Heavenly Bed line on United Airlines flights. Customers flying United business- and first-class routes between New York and California will [...]

As we all know, there are potentially some mergers on the horizon, in particular between Delta and Northwest as well as between Continental and United, and maybe even beyond that. First I should say that I have only been flying frequently for a few years, so I lack the historical experience of some others that [...]

My friend David emailed me yesterday about this, and while I knew about the program NWA has for this, I figured it was worth mentioning. Unfortunately it’s of no use to me since one must be 21 to join, but I figure that most of the people reading this blog are over 21:

For those of us that have been following the rollout of United’s new premium cabins, we know it has been a long process with just one newly configured plane flying around for nearly three months now, mostly IAD-FRA-IAD and IAD-SFO-IAD. Originally United was going to reconfigure one of each aircraft type (767, 777, and 747) [...]

A friend sent me a link to a very interesting article about the Star Alliance, which I highly recommend checking out. I’ve always been impressed by organizations like the Star Alliance, since, despite only having 80 employees, have people from just about every corner of the globe. Oh, did I mention I’d love an internship [...]
