Promo For 1,000 Free Hilton Points Extended

Given that we've seen a lot of online accounts being hacked lately, the loyalty programs are taking account security much more seriously.

In mid-February, Hilton announced that they’d offer 1,000 bonus points for changing your HHonors account password by March 8, 2015. Apparently they were having “issues” with the promotion at the time, so had to postpone it by several weeks. Odd, I know!

Several weeks later the promo finally went live, whereby it was possible to earn 1,000 HHonors bonus points for changing your HHonors password by March 25, 2015.

Rick’s Picks: Grab Two Limited-Time Offers for Amex Hilton Cards

I’d try grabbing these two offers (one this month and one the next) from Amex for Hilton Honors points. Both of these increased offers are limited-time offers that run from April 1 – May 4. Instead of getting both on the same day (which may be a difficult move), grab one now and the other […]

EXCLUSIVE: American Improving Meal Service Starting May 1

On April 1 American reintroduced linens in domestic first class for short and medium haul flights. That’s been reported elsewhere. The good news is that American isn’t done making changes to their meal service, and addressing the areas that have gotten significant customer feedback (like the cookies…). I think we have three things coming together: […]

The Battle for Seattle: Why the Delta-Alaska Partnership May Soon Be No More

There comes a point in every rewards program where the points don’t seem to be as rewarding. Regardless of allegiances, or time and money spent with a brand, the value of the miles earned are simply not the same. Such may be the feeling of elite flyers on Alaska Airlines and Delta Air Lines. While […]

Review: Japan Airlines First Class 777-300ER Jakarta To Tokyo Narita

Japan Airlines began rolling out their new first class product a couple of years ago, and I've really wanted to try it ever since. I've flown Japan Airlines' old first class a couple of times, though was never all that impressed.

My experiences in ANA first class have always been exceptional, and I've kind of thought of them as the "premium" Japanese airline. I was curious if my impressions changed after flying Japan Airlines' new first class.

At the door I was welcomed aboard with a triple bow by the senior cabin attendant and two of the first class crew, who immediately directed me to my seat.

Japan Airlines' new first class cabin consists of a total of eight seats, spread across two rows in a 1-2-1 configuration. While they're not fully enclosed suites, each seat is spacious with a good amount of privacy.
