Marriott’s Housekeeping Tip Envelopes Are Tacky
While I'm generally about as pro-tip as they come (I'll explain that in more detail below), Marriott has crossed the line with their new initiative, in my opinion.
Marriott has started putting tip envelopes in rooms, to encourage guests to leave tips for the housekeepers.
The envelope reads as follows:
"THE ENVELOPE PLEASE
Thanks for staying at Marriott Hotels. Our caring room attendants enjoyed making your stay warm and comfortable. Please feel free to leave a gratuity to express your appreciation for their efforts."

Qantas Sydney To Vancouver Flights Coming… Six Times
I'd argue the single coolest route within North America is Cathay Pacific's flight between New York and Vancouver. It's hands down the most comfortable way to fly coast-to-coast, despite the horrible flight times (it's a redeye in both directions).
Another awesome fifth freedom route was Qantas' flight between San Francisco and Vancouver, which unfortunately was discontinued a few years back. They used to fly from Sydney to San Francisco (which has since been discontinued as well), and then at least seasonally had a tag flight from San Francisco to Vancouver, which you could book by itself.
That's all only mildly related to the main news -- in January, Qantas will be launching service between Sydney and Vancouver six times. Nope, not six times per week, but rather six times total. That's all.
