News and notes from around the interweb:
- Lawsuit: Woman claims Delta let a man grope her because he was a Platinum Medallion. I don’t buy it. Maybe if he was a revenue-based Delta 360, on the other hand… In this case I’m pretty sure the guy did it because he was a creep and drunk, not because he thought it was a SkyMiles benefit.
- A mock airline sells first class flights that never leave the ground, just so you can see what it’s like. And they claim to have been fully booked since 2016. (HT: Jonathan W.)
- If your Hyatt status is dropping remember to match to MGM M life by the end of the month so you can then match back.
- The Department of Transportation says airlines don’t kill pets, pets kill themselves (HT: Ryan Boyd)
- Buy 2 20oz Dr. Peppers get $5 Uber credit (maximum $25 in Uber credit over 5 separate days) (HT: Doctor of Credit)
- A brief tour through government involvement in US airlines from 1925 to present.
Mock airline link goes to a story on the Florida shooter.
I understand why you feel the need to publish details on the Hyatt loophole (website traffic and revenue), but seriously why can’t all you bloggers just keep quite and use some discretion once in a while when a good thing comes around. I’m not saying to hide anything, but a little conscious omission would be nice though. It’s one thing to let people come to conclusions on their own. It’s another entirely to spoon feed the masses which typically results in opportunities being shut down and then no one benifits.
@Gary
I liked your video. You needed some pauses. It came off as talking a little to fast for me since I’m not altogether too familiar with the subject matter. I found it interesting.
Thanks!
