A Traveling CEO Chimes In With Top Tips For Avoiding Jetlag

Business Insider had an amusing story today about how to avoid jetlag. They get their tips from John Thompson, who has worked as an executive in the tech industry for eons.

I rarely spend more than a week on a single continent and so far this year have spent more time outside the US than in the US. So I'm always curious to see what jetlag tips others have.

How crazy is Thompson's travel schedule?

When You’re Frustrated By Your Airline’s Flight Delays, Don’t Do This.

Sit-ins, refusing to leave the aircraft, are becoming a thing in Iran to protest poor operational performance of Iranian airlines. Iranian news media have cited several recent incidents in which passengers enduring prolonged delays have refused to leave aircraft once their planes belatedly arrived at their destinations, sometimes as much as 22 hours late. In […]

Club Carlson Offering Targeted Triple Points Promotion

I usually don't write about targeted promotions, but I think the context on this one is sufficiently interesting to warrant a post.

Back in the day Hyatt offered a "Faster Free Nights" promotion year after year, which is arguably the most lucrative promotion the hotel industry has ever seen. For every two stays you'd make you'd earn one free night at any Hyatt in the world. Two nights at your local $80 per night Hyatt would earn you a free night at the $1,000+ per night Park Hyatt Sydney.

And that was only the beginning, since at the time there were tons of stackable bonuses. Hyatt was literally paying you to stay at their hotels.

Seeing the World in a Weekend – Jakarta, Indonesia

Selecting Jakarta, Indonesia as our latest destination was truly overestimating the amount of travel that can be accomplished in a long weekend. With 44 hours on the plane (26 of which were in business class and 18 in coach) and 29 hours on the ground (half of which we spent sleeping), the trip was an […]

Costco Replaces American Express With Citi For Exclusive Agreement

A few weeks ago it was announced that American Express and Costco will be terminating their relationship as of March 31, 2016:

“We are proud of the value created over many years for Costco, for our Card Members and for our shareholders,” said Kenneth I. Chenault, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of American Express. “Taking a very disciplined approach, we began discussions on a possible renewal with Costco well in advance of the contract expiration. However, we were unable to reach terms that would have made economic sense for our Company and shareholders. Instead, we will focus on opportunities in other parts of our business where we see significant potential for growth and attractive returns over the moderate to long term.”

Manufacture 14.3 Billion Miles With Credit Cards, How Many Cards Can You Get from Each Bank, and the Real Reason the A380 Fails?

News and notes from around the interweb: How many credit cards will each bank let you have? Air Tahiti Nui buying 2 Boeing 787s. The Papeete-based carrier which flies to Tokyo, Auckland, Los Angeles and Paris (via Los Angeles) will use them to replace A340s. We can probably expect a new lie flat business class […]

My Favorite Place in Ireland: The Wild West

For more than a quarter of a century I’ve traveled Ireland's western coast, up from the filigreed fringe of west Cork, along the lakes of Killarney, to the world-class golf links of Ballybunion and Lahinch, to Yeats country in Sligo, meeting people that give me yet another reason to come back.
