News and notes from around the interweb:
- The biggest gathering of frequent flyers ever will be held at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City near National airport in the Washington DC area. Here’s a new review of the property.
- Anthony Bourdain’s travel advice
- I’ve got family in South Florida and have stayed at many hotels there many times (such as the Hyatt Place Delray Beach, Renaissance Boca Raton, Marriott Boca Raton, Westin Diplomat, Hyatt Regency Coral Gables and Hyatt Pier 66). But I’ve never stayed at Hilton’s classic Boca Raton Resort & Club. JohnnyJet reviews it.
- Marathon Man’s conspiracy theory about American Express financial reviews. And the truth.
- Air Berlin cancelled a $5 billion aircraft order from Boeing. (Wall Street Journal article so if the link doesn’t work for you just Google “Air Berlin Cancels Purchase of 33 Boeing Jetliners”)
- KLM actually makes an effort to find and return lost items to passengers

Guess you didn’t read the Washington Post the other day http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2014/09/25/klms-iphone-sniffing-beagle-is-not-real/. The cute beagle was just an advertising gimmick, not real at all. The hoax got quite a bit of news coverage, surprised you missed it.
@Susan I just thought the video was cute 🙂
Do you watch any of Bourdains shows? Bourdain goes all over the world and even has been to places you have reviewed. Like El Bulli. I think he is very entertaining, yeah sometimes crude, but he does provide so good info.
Love Anthony Bourdain and his advise is spot on. Refereshing change from the typical arrogance of “elite” travelers.
