Travel:
- Scott, over at Travel Codex lost his father a couple of weeks ago. He shares a pretty powerful post about his Father’s passing, and some of the lessons the experience has taught him.
- Matt, Allison and Dylan did a pretty epic cruise around the southern tip of South America, here’s the first segment, courtesy of the writer in the family..
- Seth keeps adding more fun tools. This one, a tool to identify where widebodies fly domestically. Why does this matter? Well, most times, it means a more comfortable ride, sometimes even an international configured aircraft with a layflat business class product (that might even be a free complementary upgrade!)
- The future of First Class, via Airways News. An interesting read, unfortunately, a bit dire for those that enjoy the ultra premium cabin.
- An interesting review of the Microsoft Surface 3’s ability to replace your laptop. At home, I use a desktop, but on travel, I’ve moved nearly exclusively to the Microsoft Surface 3, and have been very happy with it.
- Not that we at Tagging Miles are a Spirit Airlines advocate, especially since The Flight Deal team won’t even feature their fares, but if you must, PF Digest shares a way to change passenger names on your Spirit airlines ticket.
- A quite entertaining post by Ed, about traveling with your significant other.
- American Airlines Executive Platinums get a free $25 Uber ride in March, and other details of American’s partnership with Uber.
Miles & Points:
- Julian, the Devil’s Advocate shares a rather well thought out post responding to the question: “Are the feds trying to shut down manufactured spending?“
- Doctor of Credit has 14 things you should know about Discover Credit Cards.
- From Wandering Aramean, it looks like Air New Zealand business class award space may becoming more available.
Reselling:
- Chasing the Points shares an interesting conundrum that many resellers have probably encountered. Inconsistent shipping due to the utilization of Omnichannel.
