TPG Readers Consider Whether You Can Have Too Many Credit Cards

By Kaeli Conforti on Oct 21, 2018 09:00 am
How many credit cards do you have, and is there really such a thing as too many? Is it better to close an account once you’ve used the sign-up bonus and the annual fee comes around or keep it open to help improve your credit score? One of our TPG Lounge readers recently posed these ...

There’s a Law in Hawaii That Says You Have to Be Nice to People

By Samantha Rosen on Oct 20, 2018 06:00 pm
Telling someone he or she “must think and emote good feelings to others” might sound like the kind of truism a SoulCycle instructor would say at the end of class. But it is, in fact, an actual law in Hawaii. It’s called the “Aloha Spirit” law, and it’s encoded in the Hawaii Revised Statutes, Section 5-7.5. “The ...

Multiple airline shopping portals have launched new “Holiday at Home” bonus miles promotions.

Time Travel: Delta (767) in Economy From Honolulu to Salt Lake City

By Melanie Lieberman on Oct 20, 2018 04:30 pm
A blast from the past is a pleasant surprise when you're at a high-school reunion, but not when you're paying for a nearly six-hour flight from Hawaii back to the mainland. Pros: At least it was a red-eye. Cons: shabbily dated products, no Wi-Fi for most of the flight and little service.

Off-Duty Pilots Delay Flight for Two Hours Over First Class Seat Assignments

By Max Prosperi on Oct 20, 2018 04:00 pm
This past week on a flight from Zurich, Switzerland, to Bangkok, Thailand, two off-duty Thai Airways pilots allegedly delayed the plane for two hours over a seating dispute.

This Sushi Bar Is Handing out Free Food in Exchange for Instagram Posts

By Samantha Rosen on Oct 20, 2018 03:30 pm
I don’t mean to alarm anyone, but I think I just found my calling in life. A sushi bar in Milan called This Is Not a Sushi Bar (yes, really) wants customers to take pictures of their food on Instagram so badly it’s accepting photos as payment. Why, you ask? To create “2.0 word-of-mouth that could ...

Embrace the (Slow) Pace: A Review of The Principal Hotel in Madrid

By Nick Ellis on Oct 20, 2018 03:00 pm
The Principal has the best of both worlds: It's simultaneously a historic palace and a trendy, and modern spot for travelers. Pros: perfect location, comfortable rooms, fantastic rooftop. Cons: small elevators, slow service, no pool.

By Lori Zaino on Oct 20, 2018 02:30 pm
We’ve all been there. You rush out of work, grab your bags, just barely make your flight and spend a few hours cramped in an uncomfortable seat. But who cares, because you’re on vacation! You arrive at your destination, ready to hit the beach, SFP and sun hat in hand. And then it’s raining. Fortunately, ...

This Might Be Your Last Chance to Hike One of Zion’s Most Popular Trails

By Max Prosperi on Oct 20, 2018 02:00 pm
Hikers with permits for the massively popular bucket list Zion Narrows hike are once again allowed to hike on. However, this was not the case a few days ago when the trail was closed to the public — including permit holders — over a property dispute. While hiking has resumed for the time being, there’s ...

10 Best Marriott Category 1-4 Hotels for Families

By Summer Hull on Oct 20, 2018 01:30 pm
Top of the award chart St. Regis-style luxury properties are flashy and get lots of attention when folks think (or write) about places to use your Marriott Rewards points, but sometimes properties a little lower on the award chart are the better bet. Lower tier properties can be a better call to stretch your points ...
