Hyatt To Offer Free Wifi Globally — No Strings Attached
This has been a year of innovation on the hotel front, both good and bad. On the bad side, we saw Hilton and Marriott both tighten up their global cancellation policies, requiring you to cancel flexible stays at least one day prior to arrival. That's a pretty customer unfriendly move, given that travelers were often already paying a premium for a flexible rate.
On the plus side, we've also seen IHG, Marriott, and Starwood add complimentary in-room wifi. The exact terms have varied, though in all three instances there have been "catches," like needing to be a member of their loyalty program and/or booking your reservation directly with the hotel (not that those are big hurdles).
Well, it looks like Hyatt is one-upping the other chains. Hyatt will be adding complimentary, unlimited no strings attached wifi at all properties globally as of February 2015. It doesn't matter if you're a member of Gold Passport, or if you booked directly through Hyatt. All guests will receive complimentary wifi.

Hyatt Announces Free Internet for All Guests: Leaves Hilton in the Cold, and Calls Attention to Sparse Gold Passport Platinum Status
Last Wednesday I wrote that Starwood is introducing free internet for all guests and that this follows Marriott and also IHG. At the time I wrote, It will be interesting to see how long Hyatt (which just extended its room type guarantee to all members) and Hilton can buck the trend, or whether they’ll lose […]

Why I Travel Alone
“Joe, did you book your ticket yet?” I asked. “No. I changed my mind. I’m not going to go.” “What? You aren’t going to Australia? We’ve been planning this vacation for months!” “Yeah, I don’t feel like it. We’ll go some other time.” Over the coming weeks, I attempted to get my friend to reconsider, but to no avail. When Joe changed his mind, he changed his mind. Our trip to Australia – our big post-college adventure – was off. […]

Hello From The Qatar Airways A350 Delivery Ceremony
As ya'll know, I'm kind of a Qatar Airways enthusiast. I was on the Qatar Airways A380 inaugural flight, and am booked on the Qatar Airways A350 inaugural commercial flight from Doha to Frankfurt in January.
Today is the day that Qatar Airways is taking delivery of their first A350, and there's a pretty big ceremony planned. Originally it was supposed to be a couple of weeks ago, but it ended up getting delayed.
A friend managed to get me an invite to the event, and I can't even begin to say how excited I am.
