Called to cancel my Southwest Priority credit card that I’ve had for about four years. I’m ALP and honestly the benefits weren’t doing much for me anymore besides the multiplier. Instead of canceling, they offered me a $229 credit to keep the card. That basically covers the...

I don’t usually write reviews, but this stay bothered me enough to share. We booked a premium room well in advance and even reconfirmed before arrival. When we showed up, we were told that room wasn’t available and we had to accept a much worse one. Older building, no ocean...

Walking from Bellagio to Fashion Show Mall with my family one night and had a close call. I was wearing one of those small sling bags, but had it on my back. Phone in hand, a little distracted, family walking ahead of me. Out of nowhere I felt movement on my bag. Same exact...

Sitting here watching Flight 688 get delayed four hours because the espresso machine in first class is broken. Eight people are affected. The rest of the plane doesn’t even get espresso. And the whole flight is just stuck. Is this actually a thing airlines delay for? Or is...

Posting this here instead of Google because I want honest discussion. The resort itself is genuinely excellent. Staff and service were outstanding, probably some of the best I’ve experienced in Egypt. Tips go a long way and the staff really takes care of you. Food was very good...

Just wrapped my first Hyatt run in Japan and had a mix of surprises. Hyatt House Shibuya was the standout for me. Super comfy, crazy quiet, and the blackout curtain magnet thing almost made me want one at home. Bit of a weird entrance setup and the reception being on the 16th...

Landed at HIA and got bounced from New Visa to a GCC counter, then sent to a “special cases” lane when the card machine died. No one was managing the queue so people kept getting dropped in front. Whole thing took about 90 minutes. First visit to Qatar and this part was rough....

I’ve flown Turkish a few times and usually love their food, but this trip was rough. I ordered a vegetarian meal ahead of time, flight attendant said there wasn’t any special meal loaded. Ended up with plain pasta for the first meal and a puff pastry with nothing inside for the...

My partner and I took the NYC–NOLA route in a bedroom just to try long-distance train travel, and honestly, it wasn’t worth the price. The room was worn down, a few things broken, and the service was pretty rude both ways. The café car was often closed, and the food… exactly...

I saw a piece where a travel writer picked five “perfect” October spots: Pitlochry in Scotland, Cesky Krumlov in Czechia, Kaysersberg in France, Alleghe in Italy, and Burford in England. (Sorry I forgot the original source, will update this post to include that if anyone is...

On my DFW–PHL flight last night, a woman changed her baby’s full-on dirty diaper right in the middle seat. The smell was so bad it woke people up. She didn’t even wipe the seat after, just left it for the next person. Whole row was covered in snack trash too. Honestly one of the...

I bought a one time pass for the United lounge, but the only two times I’ve wanted to use it, there’s a sign saying they don’t accept them. I see it more frequently now. If they aren’t going to accept these passes, then they shouldn’t sell them, or they should let you sell them...

Joined a close friend for a short city trip and wow, I forgot how draining it can be. Waiting around, constant small talk, hours in the bathroom, not knowing how to read a map, I was snapping and then felt guilty. Thing is, I do enjoy parts of having a buddy dinners together,...

Flew out of Singapore this month and my gate (A15) was one of those enclosed glass-box setups. Once you clear the gate security you can’t leave. No shops, no café, and somehow no bathroom inside. I was on day two of my period, asked to step out, and they said I had to hand over...
