In the past week, I’ve been to Hong Kong and back, and am presently in Las Vegas, after a quick hop up to Seattle. That brings the mileage count to over 45,000 flown miles since August 28th.
I am exhausted, and really looking forward to a somewhat quieter week to catch up on trip reports before heading to Chicago for FTU Advanced.

American Business Class Dallas To Hong Kong
American’s business class hard product on the 777-300ER is just spectacular, from the seat to the entertainment to the Wi-Fi. This was my first time flying this product on an ultra-long haul, and while I’ll have a full trip report soon, I thought it would be good to share my initial thoughts.
Marriott’s Housekeeping Tip Envelopes Are Tacky
When I tip a room attendant (and it’s something I try to do when I travel), I truly think of that as discretionary and not as being strictly necessary. And maybe that’s something I’m wrong about. The reason I feel like that is because there should be zero variability in how that service is executed, as a clean room is the absolute core of hospitality.
So Marriott’s new tip envelopes are something I find pretty distasteful. What do you think?
How Many Miles Does It Take?
I am asked every day how many miles it takes to get from A to B, or how many miles are needed for business class.
So I thought it might be helpful to put together a general overview of what each of the main programs charge for premium cabin award travel to a given region. Hopefully this helps as you’re plotting out your mileage travel goals.
