Select Accor hotels in Paris have launched dining discounts that are very popular in Asia, although some have already expired?
Two diners can get a 50% discount while four dining together save 25% (why not two parties of two to get 50% off?).
SPG had Hot Escapes for the Americas and another program for Europe. The Hot Escapes transformed to Escapes under Marriott Bonvoy, but the Europe program went MIA for a while.
Escapes have become available for participating hotels in the Middle East, Africa, and Europe, in addition to the usual Americas. These rates must be booked by Sunday and are available over the next four weeks.
Spirit Airlines always had a rather rough reputation as one of the U.S. biggest low cost carriers but now this has been taken to the next level following the airlines recent mass cancellations over the last few days.
On Sunday and Monday roughly two third of Spirit Airlines flights were either cancelled (42% of all flights on Monday) or delayed and the carrier went as far as telling their front line employees to leave the airport premises as a safety precaution.
When we published a piece about extended award availability at the Conrad Bora Bora last week (read more here – availability gone by now), a reader asked how to pull up the availability screen, which we featured in the article.
Hilton hasn’t made it easy to pull up the month-long availability using points or cash, likely on purpose. However, it comes especially handy when searching for award availability, such as five-night stretches that would allow the use of fifth-night free redemption.

In the past couple of days, Marriott has contacted select Bonvoy members who have redeemed their points or award certificates at three resorts in Latin America.
These hotels have collected service charges included on award reservations (they should have called them resort fees or destination charges that are OK by Marriott) that the hotel chain is now refunding.
Singapore Airlines today sent a rather long and informative email (Changes To Your Travel Advisory) for my ticket that I had purchased last month to take me to the Phuket Sandbox (read more here).
I have previously complained about how airlines have sent out emails containing simply incorrect or simply out-of-date information about travel restrictions and test requirements; AeroMexico (read more here) and KLM (read more here).
