Travel:
- More Basic Economy fares from American, are any routes you might fly, impacted?
- Did you know that you could transfer Hyatt points to anyone?
- The expansion of the Electronics Ban to flights from the European Union is still unresolved.
- More unofficial news about Singapore Airlines restarting the EWR-SIN and LAX-SIN routes. Not the best news.
- A tour of the Qantas Heritage Collection in Qantas’ Domestic Sydney terminal.
- The Gate has an interim joint statement between the EU and the US about what has been called the “pending electronics ban expansion.” Short answer – nothing yet.
- Lucky flew the Etihad A380 Residence last week; here are 10 photos. I have to admit, it does look pretty cool.
- I’ll be heading to the Westin Playa Conchal for my third time. But before we go to the Westin, we’ll be staying a night or two at the Andaz Papagayo – this is post is making me lean more toward the two nights.
- Scott awarded the first Travel Codex scholarship – I think its an excellent idea. Travel breaks many biases.
