Hello from Miami! I'm spending the weekend at home after a long week of travel, and next week am embarking on my last review trip of the year. I've got to fly some great airline products, which I'm happy about, and look forward to sharing full reviews of the remaining flights shortly.
On the points & travel front, this week a new luxury hotel joined Hilton, Hyatt introduced peak and off-peak award pricing, Hong Kong Airlines struggled to survive, Richard Branson backtracked on selling his stake in Virgin Atlantic to Air France-KLM, United ordered 50 Airbus A321XLRs, and more.
