News and notes from around the interweb:
- Redeeming Amtrak points for suites at Bluegreen Vacations timeshare properties
- Stayvancouver deal is back for hotels $125 Amex gift card for your first hotel night, $50 each additional night.
- Cathay Pacific has published ‘lounge etiquette’ guidelines
Cathay Pacific Lounge, Singapore - On Monday the Atlanta airport told Delta passengers not to even bother.
So I’m at @ATLairport and this may be the longest security line I have ever seen. Even growing up here, and even for a Monday morning. One passenger told me he’d been waiting over an hour and still had about 30 minutes to go. pic.twitter.com/UL7EghujQI

- Marriott ‘choice benefit’ selection is live again if you had to make a selection by January 14, well you probably found that the IT didn’t work (shock) so the deadline has been extended to February 7 — which doesn’t seem super generous of Marriott, they really should be engaged in a significant campaign to reach out to affected members consider it’s their most valuable customers that were inconvenienced here.
- Free Papa John’s Pizza from new My Sprint Rewards program
- Even Leonardo DiCaprio isn’t immune from TSA document checkers (HT: Ryan Boyd)
- Since legacy US Airways narrowbodies have just one oven in the first class galley, and their new 737 MAXs come without ovens in the back galleys (no ability to heat food for coach, despite flying as far as Brazil), sometimes you just have to take matters into your own hands.
actually the Cathay Lounge Etiquette Guidelines has existed for a long time now.
@rayray I didn’t say they were new? i had not seen them before so i found them interesting
YAY to the Cathay Pacific lounge guidelines, lets hope others follow!
I’m still waiting for my Chase 15 elite nights to post (from November renewal) before I hit the 75 and can select a gift…no resolution from Marriott or Chase yet…
Am surprised that the lounge etiquette doesn’t contemplate a dress code. Nothing fancy, just the same thing you’d find at a premium Hong Kong restaurant (no leisure wear, t-shirts, shorts, ripped clothing, flip-flops etc.) to make the lounge feel premium.

@Gary
thanks for the response Gary, though the wording “has published” seemed to imply it being recent, at least for me. 🙂
Pretty sure they’re cooling that pizza off with the air from the nozzle.
