ANA First Class Awards Wide Open To Seattle And Singapore

Last week I wrote about ANA's significant schedule changes.

If 99% of Americans live in an area that is considered light-polluted, that means that all these people never get to see a meteor shower, the Milky Way, or simply a star-filled sky. How sad is that?

Starwood Introducing Alternative To Platinum Suite Night Awards

In 2012 Starwood introduced a suite of new benefits for elite members, which really propelled them to one of my favorite hotel loyalty programs out there.

From my perspective, the two most significant enhancements included:

-- Platinum continental breakfast: Platinum members can choose continental breakfast in lieu of their 500 Starpoint welcome amenity

-- Suite Night Awards: Platinum members earning at least 50 qualifying nights in a calendar year receive 10 Suite Night Awards, each of which can be used to confirm a suite upgrade for a one night stay five days prior to arrival
