Chase and IHG have officially unveiled their newest credit card, the IHG Premier Select Card. This card is likely intended to compete with other higher annual fee hotel cards, such as the Marriott Bonvoy Bevy and Bountiful cards or the highest annual fee hotel cards, like the Hilton Aspire Card but at a more tolerableContinue reading “New IHG Premier Select Card (2026)”

Wednesday Reblog: Hotel Marmorosch, Bucharest Romania
For this week’s Wednesday Reblog, I thought it’d be fun to reblog a hotel review from back in 2022. This report was one of my first attempts at a hotel review, but I didn’t have a clear plan on what I wanted out of a hotel review for the blog. For example, I didn’t takeContinue reading “Wednesday Reblog: Hotel Marmorosch, Bucharest Romania”
St. Regis Washington D.C.
On a recent trip to DC near my birthday, I needed a hotel for one night, and I had an 85k point Marriott certificate begging to be used, so I decided to book a night at the St Regis Washington DC. This hotel has been of interest for quite a while for me because itContinue reading “St. Regis Washington D.C.”
Wednesday Reblog: St George Airport
For this week’s Wednesday Reblog, I wanted to pop back up a flight I took about 6 years ago from St George to Phoenix (and then onward to Dallas and then eventually Richmond). I recently flew from a very small airport and was reminded of this flight I had gone hiking with some friends, andContinue reading “Wednesday Reblog: St George Airport”
Hilton Garden Inn Camden, NJ
For this week’s review, I’m going to highlight a somewhat random hotel that I stayed at for one night a few months ago. The hotel in question is the Hilton Garden Inn in Camden, NJ, which is right across the river from Philadelphia. I think the main reason people stay at this hotel is eitherContinue reading “Hilton Garden Inn Camden, NJ”
Wednesday Reblog: SwissAir A220
This week’s primary blog post was about Delta’s A220 economy class experience, so I thought it would make sense to reblog my first A220 flight, which was on SwissAir a few years ago when I took a trip to Berlin for Easter. Having now been on A220s a few times, I have consistently found themContinue reading “Wednesday Reblog: SwissAir A220”
Delta A220 economy seats: San Jose to Denver via Salt Lake City (Companion Pass)
This week I’m going to shake things up a bit and share with you a recent trip I took to Denver to go to a friend’s wedding! Now, coming from the San Francisco area, you might think the logical option is to fly United to Denver and take advantage of their hub-to-hub flying. I liveContinue reading “Delta A220 economy seats: San Jose to Denver via Salt Lake City (Companion Pass)”
Wednesday Reblog: UK Train!
Following last week’s reblog of an Amtrak train, I thought it would make sense to compare it to a UK train. I feel like a train trip is usually about as interesting as a coach flight but is much more efficient. It’s very doable to arrive at the train station 15 minutes before your trainContinue reading “Wednesday Reblog: UK Train!”
World of Hyatt credit card (2026 edition!)
Continuing my trend of updating the hotel credit card posts, we now bring ourselves to the World of Hyatt card! This low annual fee credit card competes with the Hilton Surpass, Marriott Bonvoy Boundless, and IHG Premier cards. Marriott is my preferred hotel chain because of its breakfast benefit and huge global footprint, but IContinue reading “World of Hyatt credit card (2026 edition!)”
Wednesday Reblog: Amtrak!
For this week’s Wednesday reblog, I thought it’d be fun to switch gears and bring back up an Amtrak trip I took a while ago. I’ve recently been considering checking out the Acela First Class cabin, but I haven’t yet found a route that it makes sense for yet. Maybe one day soon! In theContinue reading “Wednesday Reblog: Amtrak!”
