Episode Description
There were some fun travel stories this week including the new high tech portal between NYC and Dublin. This piece of tech is quite fun, but it caused some issues even if it served its purpose of connecting humans. We also discuss a nightmare Marriott hotel stay you have to hear about!
In other #news we talk different flavors of the Amex Platinum including how some people are scoring 300K Membership Rewards as a welcome offer. Other topics discussed include: Hilton's Auto Camp integration, an amazing new Delta Amex Offer, the first Vegas megaresort closing and whether domestic first class is a letdown or not.

I would be pissed if a cat was wandering up and down the aisle on a plane. I am very allergic to cats.

That is what is pretty surprising about it. Probably every flight has someone allergic to a cat or dog.

@@markostermann6632 You’re correct. It’s okay to ban peanuts but if you’re deathly allergic to pet dander, it’s okay.

People who bring animals on flights are selfish monsters, with cat owners being the worst of all given the allergy issue. I had to ride from LAX-ATL next to a loud woman who kept “sweet kitty” in her lap the whole five hours, leaving me with my eyes almost swollen shut by the time we landed. If you can’t travel without your pet, then DRIVE.

I dunno if I can get on board with the “all airline food is bad” thing. Some of it is just the fact that you are eating at altitude, which saps the flavor. I flew Alaska Airlines today to Los Angeles and the food was good-pretzel sliders. I always fly first class cuz I’m a big dude. I can’t imagine trying to wedge myself into coach 😣 …with the peasants 😖😆

As a large man first class space is needed. Only fly once every couple of years. Plus if I can spare a poor customer having to rub shoulders for however many hours, I consider that my humanity donation of personal space.

Agree the extra space can be big for sure. Makes a big difference comfort wise.

The opening 'ding' should be the 'safe happy future' 'ding' from the movie _Say Anything!_ New Jersey should lean in to it and change their name to _New Legionnaires!_ Tops only Mark! 🥒💦 Closing the grandfathered in water features in front of the Mirage sucks! You can't build those anymore because of the new water restrictions! Another great video S & M!

Love the channel! Can you guys go into finding value with Amex membership points via transfer partners?
@markostermann6632
@markostermann6632 Месяц назад
They have a ton of airline partners and a few hotel partners, but airlines are where it is at value wise there. The hotel options normally give you around 50% left vs the airlines for Amex.

Flying domestic first class to Hawaii might be worth it but continental USA I wouldn’t do it.

Yeah agreed. It’s nice on Hawaii flights and they often serve Mai Tais and other cool stuff to get you in the mood.

Wow... Every subject covered in this video, I learned something. One of the comments mentioned cats. I completely agree, also allergic. I carry AMEX. Anyways, I appreciate your videos. You're good at what you do. Was using talk to text. Hopefully that makes sense LOL

Alaska Airlines' Tillamook burgers and pretzel sliders are very good. United's beef short rib is pretty good. Without lie flat seats, the front of the plane is overrated. I have flown 1st class 11 times the last 2 weeks.

Yeah it’s cool and it’s nicer than coach just not the experience people build it up as. 11 times in 2 weeks! Nice. What’s your preferred airline?

This isn't the Vegas channel so it isn't new branding - it is focused on more general travel and miles and points. We try to keep the episodes around 20 minutes, hence the name.
