I’ve spent the past week traveling back and forth to South Africa, so am excited to be on the ground this week without any plans to fly. I slept for about 10 hours last night, and hope to continue that pattern. I’ll spend the coming week continuing to publish the trip report for my recent trip.
I had an amazing time in South Africa, and am now plotting out my next big trip to review new airlines.

Get TWO Free Nights Per Hotel Stay With The Citi Prestige Card
While several credit cards offer “free” hotel night benefits, they almost always come with a bunch of terms. In the case of the Citi Prestige Card, the perk is as “no strings attached” as it gets. You can use the perk for virtually any publicly available rate.

I’ve often been asked whether the fourth night free perk can be used in conjunction with a fourth night free offer from the hotel directly. I’ve always said the answer is “no,” and while that’s still the case, there is a way to score two free nights on a Citi Prestige Card booking.

11 Features That Make Business Class Great — Or Not
I feel like I should change my mailing address to “business class on your nearest flight,” based on the amount of time I’ve spent in business class lately. This is by design, as I’ve been doing what I can to review new business class products, given that I focused so heavily on first class in the past.
So I’ve been thinking about what I value most in business class. What makes for a great business class product?
