Happy Memorial Day Weekend! I’m doing a whole lot of nothing this weekend, as in a few days I’m leaving on a trip to Italy and Greece, which I’m excited about. I’ll be going to Milan, Santorini, and Athens. The whole reason Milan is part of the itinerary is because of the awesome Emirates first…

Will you be reviewing any hotels in Milan? I'm curious about the Armani hotel and the Park Hyatt

@Lucky, consider not making a common mistake. Memorial Day is one of the few legal holidays where it is inappropriate to say "Happy ___ Day". It is a solemn holiday to honor those that served and died. Happy Fourth! Happy New Year! Happy or Merry Christmas! Happy Thanksgiving! All nice. Even Veterans Day is mostly ok or completely ok because it commemorates the veterans who served and made it back.

Do you have time to perhaps fly Air Italy's new 737 MAX while in Italy? Maybe a day trip to somewhere to see their new product.

Ben, I just listened to this news brief about an accident that occurred on a Sichuan Airlines flight. You may find it interesting. http://www.abc.net.au/radio/brisbane/programs/correspondentsreport/calling-out-for-a-hero-%E2%80%93-sichuan-airlines-pilot-finds-fame/9803408

Where was this palm tree photo taken? I always see it on your site and it reminds me of the crooked one at the le meridian fisherman’s cove in the Seychelles.

Ben - what are some of the best airline redemptions to use for a trip to Greece from California? Santorini and Athens are on my list of places to visit soon. Thanks!

There's no explanation in the article as to what "Memorial Day" actually is. If the intention is for this blog to be read outside of the US it would be helpful to explain local terminology or customs.

I like your site very much and my Visa Sapphire care is a result of your information. How about a report on hotels actually within the airports such as the one in Schipol in Amsterdam and the one in the Miami airport. I fly a lot and like, on occasion, to break my flight with a stay in a hotel that is actually inside the airport. You are doing a great job and thanks a lot for all this great information. I have found every little info on hotels inside airports. I fly business class and would also like more information on business lounges that provide lie-down type relax areas.
