Gem Tours & Travels, which is planning New York vaccine trips, claims to have coined the term ‘vaccine tourism’ and Zenith Holidays has promoted a London stay long enough for both vaccine doses at $8211 per person single occupancy ($6158 per person based on double occupancy) and expects that “by mid-January next year, the vaccine will be available for foreigners in the UK.”

2021 Travel Will Mean A Lot More Sex
We’re going to be excited to see people. With greater distancing and less time spent with others outside our household, other people will just seem more interesting. And we’ll see the people we’ve been stuck at home with for a year with fresh eyes when we’re on vacation.
Palestinian Airlines Shuts Down For Good
Palestinian Airlines is being liquidated by the Palestinian Authority. It hasn’t flown in 6 years but has continued to serve as an employer in Gaza. Down to just two Fokker 50 aircraft those were returned from lease by Niger Airlines during the pandemic.
Get Your Vaccine And Travel To Asia On Miles In The Back Half Of 2021
Star Alliance member EVA Air has wide open business class award space from Los Angeles to Taipei (and beyond in Asia) for August 2021 through end of schedule.
International travel right now isn’t an option for most – especially to Asia – but come summer 2021 the world is likely to look a lot different than it does today. I’m betting that late summer and fall travel is going to be possible, and mileage trips are exactly what you want to be booking given the flexibility to cancel and redeposit miles. I’ve got an Asia trip on the books for the back half of 2021 already myself.

Happy New Year! Virgin Atlantic Devalues Awards On Delta With No Notice
In general Virgin Atlantic has some of the least valuable miles but their points are ubiquitous since they’re a transfer partner of Chase, Ameriacn Express, and Citibank. They do have real sweet spots. My favorite is using their miles for ANA first class round trip to Tokyo for just 120,000 miles.
Perhaps their most useful redemption was award travel on Delta. Not anymore. And without any notice, boom, during the pandemic.
New Photos From Area 51. Is There Increasing Evidence Of Alien Aircraft?
Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says the government has been covering up UFOs. Former CIA Director John Brennan thinks something might be out there. The Covid relief bill requires declassification of what the government knows about UFOs within 6 months. This year Navy fighter pilot videos of unexplained encounters were released. And here’s new photos from Area 51.
Serious people think there’s a chance aliens exist. That alone should raise our estimate of the likelihood, shouldn’t it?
