News and notes from around the interweb:
- I really don’t want to think about this being the previous guest in my room.
As a [Hilton Honors] Diamond member who is incontinent, I often times utilize the chat feature to “make a special request” before checking in… “Waterproof mattress cover requested if available”
Probably 1 out of 20 times has it ever happened…..
- JetBlue adds Frontier, Spirit and Southwest to list of airlines against which it will status match
- Hyatt enters joint venture with Grupo Piñero which grows their all-inclusive room count by 30% with 22 Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts in the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Jamaica, and Spain, and the Cayo Levantado Resort in the Dominican Republic.
- Someone wanted to ensure their bag arrived undamaged:
- Delta’s interior makeover: a behind the scenes look.
- “Delta’s decarbonization work featured at New York Climate Week” I guess not the part about how they found themselves caught up in an environmental scam because the airline which owns an oil refinery was claiming to reach carbon neutrality by buying fraudulent carbon credits.
“(1) the money kind of disappeared and (2) a lot of the carbon credits turned out to be fake.” The New Yorker‘s Heidi Blake has the owner of the forest generating the credits on the record, “I don’t know what you’re going to report on this, and I hope to God it’s not all of it, because I probably will go to jail.”
Hotel beds have seen worse than piss.
Gary – I’m almost certain an incontinent person wears depends or something similar to avoid accidents (like my 94 year old mother in law does). The waterproof covering is likely just an additional precaution. You have enough phobias and paranoia about potential exposure to things so please don’t obsess too much on this one. We worry about your mental health.
Feel bad for the bed bugs…
Not some, ALL carbon credits are fake.
I hope I’m never incontinent however if I was I would go to Ikea and get a mattress protector and travel with it,
I buy them as in case anything liquid gets on them my imported high end mattress is safe from damage
also keeps it sanitary and soil free from dirt etc
It amazes me how bad expensive hotels are in general with sheets that have holes and stains
And uncomfortable pillows and covers that typically don’t get changed between guests
Rather a dumb article
@Robin
What’s dumber, the article or the one who spent the time reading and commenting on it?
You don’t read clickbait for the intellectual stimuli…
