Travel:
- Stefan shares his Wedding Anniversary experience in Narita. It’s sweet, it’s romantic, but it also reminds us, that Narita town exists. It’s not just the gateway to Tokyo.
- I don’t often venture from the comfort of a Hyatt or, dare I say, a Marriott, but reading this report from Dia, makes me think that I should definitely jump out of my comfort zone and visit Pigna. Time travel is awesome, afterall, and all I’ve done is time travel b/w Japan and LAX.
- A warning message on using American Expresses Medical Evacuation coverage. I buy my own travel medical coverage. I took Dia’s recommendation and haven’t looked back. I haven’t had to use it as of yet, but based on her experiences, I’m fairly comfortable, if the need were to arise.
- Etihad is no longer offering chauffeur service on American Awards. This is a huge hit, in my opinion (as I’ve leveraged the chauffeur service as much as 4 separate rides on a trip). Its not surprising, but it is quite unfortunate.
- Jeanne makes a great point in having a Lemon Law type policy for hotels, or, she could just stay at full up Hyatts like me (kidding!)
- Runway Girl Network reports on a revolutionary headrest that you can only (at the moment) find on Cathay Pacific’s A350.
- If you travel for work, and like Amazon gift cards (for free), take a quick 2 minute survey for Pizza in Motion.
Miles and Points:
- Joseph Schooling, who won gold for Singapore in the men’s 100 meter butterfly received 1 million KrisFlyer miles from Singapore. There have also been reports on Twitter that he’ll earn ~$753k too. Not too shabby!
Found on Twitter.
- An interesting follow-up to P.F. Digest’s Ultamate Rewards post, and how others think of credit cards.
