Small Airports Large Hotels

going back to a earlier post where’s the value. currently Priority Privilege members are being offered a great rate of $130 at the new Crowne Plaza Hunter Valley that’s a saving of around $87 for this period. Now that’s a extra case of wine in the hunter valley. So if you fly a small aircraft and you can get yourself to Cessnock airport. You only have to walk across the road to find a bed.

Is Business class worth it

My own problem with Business class is the cost, if I could get a seat from London to Sydney return and only pay $3000 to $5000, I’d would be willing to pay two years in advance to hold the seat under strict booking conditions.. Until I can afford it I’m going to be down the back with the real people..

Interesting article by Jennifer Grinwade. As the airlines continually tighten seatbelts on frequent-flyer programs, I decide to cash in my points. Big time. I book a oneworld Round the World ticket. Business class.

Hotel loyalty programs do work if you travel frequently

If you answer yes to any of the following belonging to a hotel travel program may well save you money and provide you with benefits that are not advertised to the public. Do you stay at the same hotel brands or hotel 2 or more times a year? Do you prefer to stay at a hotel that is leading brand? Does earning points toward Free Nights at hotels globally interest you?
Belonging to a hotel marketing program can work well if you if find yourself staying at hotels more than 3 times a year, or can be very handy if you are taking the family for weeks holiday to the Holiday Inn on the Gold Coast, Australia.  If you travel globally programs like clubhotel are great as they provide variety of discounted rates and top hotels in all major locations around the world. If your travelling down under in Australia a program like Priority Privilege will provide you with deep discounts on rates, plus save you heaps on the those expensive hotel food and beverage charges. Tip: Before purchasing a spot in a program. Book your accommodation direct online if you can on the program offer, then go ahead purchase the membership program. This way you will guaranteed yourself your room deal before pulling out your credit card to purchase the program. If your using the membership cards for dining by dining with another guest you can save up to 50% off when using a Priority Privilege card at Crowne Plaza hotels in Australia or New Zealand.

The Hotel loyalty programs on offer can also be added benefit to those small business people who have sales staff that travel but can’t access a corporate rate through the hotel. 

being stuck at a airport can be hell

It amazes me how many people can be stuck at airport for no fault of their own. Take for example the recent fogs in London before Christmas that put a block to hundreds of thousands of people who were trying to get home or be somewhere for christmas. What can you do when your stuck at the aiport, read, explore, sleep, eat, or get slowly drunk in a bad airport bar.
