Is The W Hotel Chain One Big Pimp?

Philly.com has an interesting story about a lady who was attacked at the W Hotel South Beach, apparently because she was mistaken for a hooker by other hookers (and nobody likes competition!):

"The allegations were made by Anna and Joseph Burgese, of Medford, N.J., in a request for a change of venue in a personal-injury lawsuit they filed against Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc., parent company of W Hotels, in June 2013.

The personal-injury suit was prompted by an attack in January 2013 on Anna Burgese in the lobby of the South Beach W Hotel in Miami Beach by several drunken prostitutes who mistook her for a competing sex worker, the suit says."

Frontier Airlines is set to shake things up in Miami later this December when they start non-stop service to Miami from NYC LaGuardia, Philadelphia, Chicago and Denver.

The Icon: Egypt’s Great Sphinx

The crouching lion with a man's head was ancient when Cleopatra gazed upon it in 47 B.C. It retains its allure to the powerful, as world leaders from Napoleon to Barack Obama have trekked to Giza to contemplate the same view that captivated the queen of the Nile.

Delta SkyMiles Eliminating Round The World Awards January 1, 2015

Delta is making huge changes to the SkyMiles program in 2015, on both the earning and redemption side. On the earning side, redeemable miles will be awarded based on how much your ticket costs as opposed to how many miles you fly, and SkyMiles is getting more restrictive on how many points you can transfer in from partners.

On the redemption side, SkyMiles is unfortunately adding more award tiers, though on the plus side will begin allowing one-way awards on partner airlines, which adds quite a bit of value to the program, in my opinion.

But it seems they've made another change which they haven't announced.

Via Delta Points, Delta has updated their Membership Guide & Program Rules to add the following (bolded below):

Is it Time for the Goverment to Regulate Legroom?

Christopher Elliott, who will be bringing his blog to BoardingArea.com, says the government should regulate legroom and shoulder room onboard planes. He offers a scary quote from the ever credible FlyersRights group. “Airlines are aggressively reducing seat and passenger space to squeeze more revenue out passengers, despite health and safety being threatened,” says Paul Hudson, […]

Register For Virgin America’s Feel The Earn Promotion

Virgin America's Elevate program has come out with a fairly lucrative promotion valid for travel between October 6 and December 19, 2014. Registration is required prior to your first travel date, though previously booked travel does also qualify for the promotion.

The promotion is entitled Feel The Earn, and through it Virgin America is offering a couple of ways to earn bonus Elevate points.

Virgin America Elevate members ordinarily earn five points per dollar spent on Virgin America, so through this promotion you earn 10 points per dollar spent on Main Cabin Select tickets (fare classes W, Q, and Z), and 15 points per dollar spent on First Class tickets (fare classes J, C, and D). The flight has to be marketed and operated by Virgin America to qualify, and the bonus is based on your original fare class -- in other words, an upgrade day of departure wouldn't qualify for the bonus.
