What Happens When There’s an Impossible Schedule Change on an Award Ticket?

Ronald A. asks, I’ve got an Aeroplan award ticket for two booked for next Spring on Turkish Airlines and Brussels Airlines (Istanbul-Brussels-Washnigton Dulles).

Review: Park Hyatt New York

Arguably the most anticipated hotel opening of 2014 is the brand new Park Hyatt New York, which occupies the lower 25 floors of the new One57 building. Even though it just opened, this is actually the flagship Park Hyatt property globally, taking over that title from the Park Hyatt Chicago.

The hotel just had its grand opening this past Tuesday, and I had the opportunity to stay that night after flying in from Frankfurt on Singapore Airlines. It's worth noting that the hotel already had guests for about a week prior, though Tuesday, August 19, 2014, was technically their "grand opening" night.

There are a couple of promotions out there right now for earning free Lufthansa Miles & More miles. I can't personally guarantee either will work, but since it only takes a couple of minutes to register, it's well worth it.

Through August 31, 2014, T-Mobile is offering 500 Miles & More miles if you register for their online media center. Once you register you'll receive an email with a link for adding your Miles & More number.

Marilyn Hartman Arrested At Airport… Again!

I've written in the past about Marilyn Hartman, the Bay Area woman who keeps trying to sneak onto planes. A couple of weeks ago she was actually successful, and managed to not only sneak through security, but onto a Southwest Airlines flight from San Jose to Los Angeles.

After that she was sentenced to probation, but after violating that she was sentenced to 177 days in jail. She was then released from jail less than a week later due to overcrowding.

Not surprisingly she's back at it again, this time in Phoenix. Via SFGate:

Here’s Where You Should Care That American Airlines Flights Are No Longer Bookable on Orbitz

Half a dozen people have sent me articles about American’s flights no longer showing up on Orbitz. US Airways flights will be pulled from Orbitz on September 1. American sent out a press release on this yesterday, but I didn’t write about it. It’s a temporary phenomenon, basically a contract dispute. It’s not the first […]
