The Wall Street Journal covers plans for Hyatt, Loews, and Langham to launch new ‘lifestyle brand’ hotels in 2015. Hotel chains have shifted their idea of luxury to meet what modern consumers want.

There are few things I love more than a good fifth freedom route, be it Cathay Pacific's flight between New York and Vancouver, or Singapore Airlines' flight between New York and Frankfurt. There's something exciting about flying between two countries and experiencing the service of an airline from somewhere completely different.
Arguably the single best first class product between North and South America is Korean Air's fifth freedom flight between Los Angeles and Sao Paulo. I flew Korean Air's Los Angeles to Sao Paulo flight on a Boeing 777-300ER last March, and had a great flight.
It also happens to be a fantastic use of Korean Air SkyPass miles, as they charge just 70,000 SkyPass miles one way for first class, and availability is generally good.

On Thursday I wrote a post entitled "Thinking Of Canceling My Best Award Ticket Ever."
As I explained, back when US Airways first joined the oneworld alliance I booked an award on them from New York to Melbourne... via London and Dubai.
At 140,000 miles roundtrip in first class, I'd argue it's my best award redemption ever, purely in terms of the number of hours spent in first class.
But there's more to making redemptions enjoyable than just flying great first class products. Often it's not about the airline or even necessarily about where you're flying, but rather who you're traveling with.
