News and notes from around the interweb:
- Skyjacker D.B. Cooper’s long lost confession
- The City of Phoenix spent about $600 million to expand their convention center. Since they couldn’t get a hotelier to come in they spent $350 million more and got.. a Sheraton.
Phoenix still owes $300 million on the property a dozen years later. It decided to sell for $255 million. But to get that they have to offer a 20 year property tax abatement worth $100 million. The buyer is Marriott along with other capital partners, and they plan to give the property some much needed love.
Credit: Sheraton - American says their request that the federal government not use their planes to separate kids from their families is being met.
- Man calls cops on passenger for eating a burrito on the BART train.
- Not save for work (just like Anthony Bourdain): “Travel Shows Were Boring as F—. Then Came Anthony Bourdain.”
It’s such a double standard
“We don’t want to pull people apart” except
when they don’t pay us 100 dollars for a seat assignment
Lol lol nothing more than a publicity stunt from a company that is hostile to its passengers(corporate created) and beyond greedy to its Frequent Flyer program members procuring award seats for just 1 traveler let alone a family
What’s with cities building hotels when private firms decide it’s a bad business decision? Baltimore’s Hilton is finally turning a profit after years of red ink and dipping into hotel taxes to pay bond servicing. It’s not as if either Phoenix or Baltimore are hotel deserts.
Portland “only” paid $75 mil of public funds for a $225 mil convention center Hyatt Regency being built now.
Worst company ever. This coming from Concierge Key ….
Qatar is much bettr but try to fly Miami LA via Doha
I sure wouldn’t want to live next door to or be a relative to the burrito griper. Really a buzzkill at family gatherings.
