Breaks from and developments in Manufactured Spending, Amazon Allowance, #avgeek developments, London getting a 3rd runway(?), and More US3 vs. ME3 drama





Note: I’m just back from gallivanting the world, so this is likely to be lighter than usual, we’ll be back to normal next week. My apologies in advance.

Also – a special shout-out, to As the Joe Flies, fellow Saverocity blogger, and the host of the Saverocity Observation Deck, and his wife on their baby boy!

Travel

  • Ed who writes Pizza in Motion, is giving away a free travel assistant for a year, make sure you enter!
  • A quick update on Indonesia waiving the fee for Visa on Arrival for US Citizens (and a bunch of others). Having just left Indonesia, I can also report, you no longer need to pay a cash fee to leave the country, either! Of course, the new airport (which is great by the way), does entice you to leave some of your hard earned money in exchange for high end duty free items. Think Sydney’s Star Alliance terminal (if you can call it that), but smaller.
  • From Seth Miller, Frontier officially ceases operations from Delaware’s Wilmington Airport. What is that? Didn’t know Delaware had an airport? Let alone one served by Frontier? Yeah, about that…

Manufacturing Spend

Nonsequitars

  • Doctor of Credit shares that you can get 20% more AAdvantage miles when you transfer from SPG. Now instead of 25k milles for every 20k SPG points, you’ll get 30k!
  • Free-quent Flyer got around to reading a book that ‘s been on my list for a while (in fact I once started it, then lost it on a trip), the $100 Startup by Chris Guillebeau. It’s worth a read, but, I get the sneaky suspicion that FQF wasn’t impressed.

    Noun
    (plural non sequiturs or non sequuntur)
