Conclusion To My (Almost Private) Qatar Airways A350 Flight Saga

For those of you not up to date on the saga, see the previous posts:

-- I WANT TO REDEEM MILES FOR THIS FLIGHT SO BAD!

-- Booked On A350 To Position For Qatar Airways A350 Inaugural Flight

-- Hmmm, So You Want To Involuntarily Deny Me Boarding, Eh?

First of all, let me apologize for the title of the post from yesterday, because the way it sounded in my head was different than how it came across. I didn't mean it in the sense of "oh yeah, you're going to deny me boarding, well we'll see about that." The way it sounded in my head was more in the voice of a curious six year old kid that was puzzled. But I realize that's not how it came across to many.

Save Money and Earn More Points Dining with SPG

I’m generally hesitant to eat at a hotel restaurant — it’s a last resort when I’m either too tired or have to get work done and don’t want to spend the time to venture out. I enjoy exploring whatever city I happen to be in and food is a very important part of that. It […]
