Earlier today ANA announced some significant updates to their summer 2015 schedule.
With the updated 2015 summer schedule we're seeing a couple of dozen adjustments, including some new routes, new frequencies, and some aircraft swaps. I'd check out the entire new schedule, as there are quite a few swaps.
However, most interesting to me are the routes which are gaining Boeing 777-300ER service, which is the only type of plane in ANA's fleet with a first class cabin. Of course the fact that some routes are gaining 777-300ER service means that other routes are losing it.

Ben recently wrote about the Q1 2015 Club Carlson Extend Your Stay (EYS) promotion where you can earn 30,000 bonus points for a 3+ night stay or 15,000 bonus points for a 2-night stay. Some are calling it the best hotel promotion of the first quarter. It caused me to break out the spreadsheet to determine how best to play this.
I usually don't hesitate to spend Club Carlson points since my family is blessed with six figure balances in the program after having capitalized on some past promotions. My wife and have the Club Carlson Visa card, so the points effectively go twice as far. But this promotion has the potential to be lucrative enough such that I could choose to spend some money. Scary, I know.
The decision in question involves our upcoming trip to Copenhagen. We considered two Radisson properties, Blu Royal and Blu Scandinavia. We had previously settled on Blu Scandinavia so I will use those numbers for my analysis.

Air France KLM’s Flying Blue — an American Express and Citibank transfer partner — informed an award booking client that their award booking to Europe had been cancelled, their account suspended, and miles confiscated. They were accused of purchasing miles […]
