This Is the Best Hotel Credit Card According to TPG Readers

By Nick Ewen on Dec 14, 2018 09:00 am
It’s now been a week and a half since we held the inaugural TPG Awards on the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space museum, but the conversation continues. Sure, it was incredible to see Captain “Sully” Sullenberger reunited with one of his passengers from Flight 1549, and it was inspiring to hear Leymah Gbowee speak of ...

The Critical Points: Why TPG’s Mission Is More Important Than Ever

By Richard Kerr on Dec 14, 2018 08:00 am
Our job here at The Points Guy is to educate and equip the modern traveler. With developments in just the last couple of weeks, it has become apparent to me just how critical this mission is. My thoughts started with Delta’s introduction of Basic Economy award tickets, a move which I view as anti-consumer that ...

How I Saved $200 on a Hotel Stay — Reader Success Story

By The Points Guy on Dec 14, 2018 07:00 am
Today I want to share a story from TPG reader John, who made a new hotel reservation when the nightly rate went down: I booked a stay at the newly opened Hotel Julian in Chicago one month in advance. The hotel’s website quoted a rate of $189 per night, while the Citi Prestige concierge could only offer ...

Classic Luxury: Cathay Pacific (777-300ER) in First Class From Hong Kong to Boston

By JT Genter on Dec 13, 2018 09:00 pm
For years, Cathay Pacific’s first-class product has stood as one of the best first-class products in the world. However, the airline is still flying essentially the same first-class product that it introduced in 2007. So, as part of the TPG Awards, we wanted to test it out to see how it compares to today’s first-class ...

We’re Loving It: 6 Reasons Savvy Travelers Eat at International McDonald’s

By Summer Hull on Dec 13, 2018 08:00 pm
Hear us out. There’s a ‘dirty’ little secret that I’m sometimes afraid to admit to serious travelers — I almost always eat at a McDonald’s when we visit other countries. In fact, the more foreign the country, the more likely you will find us at a McDonald’s at some point on the journey. It isn’t ...

WOW Air Cuts More Routes as Fleet Size Is Drastically Reduced

By Darren Murph on Dec 13, 2018 07:30 pm
Let’s just get this out of the way: if you have a flight booked on WOW Air any time over the next few months, you’d be wise to check back and see if you booked it with a credit card that offers travel protections. In what feels like a slow-moving, but nonetheless inevitable, collapse of ...

TAP Adding Flight From San Francisco to Lisbon in 2019

By Zach Honig on Dec 13, 2018 06:30 pm
TAP Air Portugal recently began taking delivery of its first Airbus A330-900neos — with 21 new wide-body jets expected within the next 18 months, the neo is poised to boost the airline’s fleet significantly. We’ve already seen TAP announce new routes as a result — including new options from Chicago (ORD) and Washington, DC (IAD), ...

Seoul Connection: A Review of Korean Air’s 787-9 Dreamliner in Business Class

By Nick Ellis on Dec 13, 2018 06:00 pm
When we set out to determine which international business-class product would reign supreme for the inaugural TPG Awards, we ran into a huge problem: There are so many great business-class products flying around, how could we possibly settle on one? We narrowed the field considerably by specifying that the candidates must feature a suite product ...
