News and notes from around the interweb:
- Holes in the walls of your room, and “the manager of the hotel said they thought Alexa was the person who stuck tissue paper into the holes in the wall.” Maybe it’s just a terrible hotel, or maybe it’s for cameras? (HT: Paul H)
@alexxaanicole Then again I stayed at a since-condemned Marriott where someone had pulled the tissue trick:
- Hilton has added 102 more SLH properties for booking, bringing their total to “nearly 400” hotels so far: “hotels will be added to the website in batches starting [Tuesday] morning and will be available for arrivals as of September 23, 2024.” This partnership is probably the best thing about the Honors program on the redemption side.
- I’m far from the most patriotic guy, but I still think this is super cool.

- When I flew a similar-length 3 hour and 45 minute flight in a premium cabin within Asia, and the entertainment system at my assigned seat didn’t work, I was met at the gate with an apology, a changed seat assignment, and a voucher. This is “first class” from Eugene, Oregon to Dallas:

- Qantas increases ticket change fees, if you wonder where this airline is headed remember they added former American Airlines CEO Doug Parker to their board..
Of course hotels spy on us . There are gadgets everywhere . Old news .
Probably should get rid of the Airbnb item given that there’s now a Community Note stating this was a staged video.
