Delta SkyMiles Award Bookings on delta.com, watch the taxes.

We all know that ex-Europe in comparison to ex-USA taxes are much higher when booking Delta SkyMiles award flights.  Sometimes, especially in premium cabins the difference can be quite extreme when originating in Europe.

Hotel Review | LUX King at the SLS Las Vegas

A Surprisingly Likeable Stay When Sam Nazarian sauntered up to the doors at Sahara and stuck a hand written note saying “Be Back Soon!” in May of 2009, I figured the 59 year run of the property was over. Once a name up with Dunes, Sands, and the big boys, the Sahara had faded into […]

“The Calm” before the “Storm” – Looking at BOS operations prior to a big winter storm event.

Looks like a “monster” storm is fast approaching the Boston area. Turns out, I am in New Hampshire this week (1 hour north of Boston), so I am quite interested in the AMS-BOS Delta operations.  This time of year Delta only serves Amsterdam nonstop once daily from Boston-Logan. With expectations of the storm beginning on […]
