Why Purchasing Southwest Early Boarding Rarely Makes Sense for Young Families

By Jennifer Yellin on Jan 02, 2019 08:50 am
Southwest Airlines is far from your typical airline when it comes to seat assignments. With most airlines, you select a seat when you purchase your ticket. Southwest, however, has an open-seating policy where you pick any available seat when you walk onto the plane. This definitely scares many, as there is no guarantee that you’ll ...

Not-So-Premium Economy: China Southern Airlines (777-300ER) From New York to Guangzhou, China

By Alberto Riva on Jan 02, 2019 08:00 am
China Southern Airlines’ premium economy seat on the Boeing 777 is, on paper, a pretty good product. With 38 inches of legroom and 18.5 inches of width, it’s the same as most domestic first classes in the US and worlds better than regular coach. But how would it fare on a punishing 15-hour, 8,000-mile trek from New ...

Best-Bet Activities for LGBTQ Families in Puerto Vallarta

By Jon Bailey on Jan 02, 2019 07:00 am
Few places in the world welcome LGBTQ visitors as readily as Puerto Vallarta. We’ve been visiting this seaside Mexican village for decades, and there has always been a large gay community of proud Mexican residents and visitors from abroad. Now as the LGBTQ community has moved even more into parenthood, same-sex parents and their kids ...

Using a Status Match to Avoid a Fee — Reader Success Story

By The Points Guy on Jan 02, 2019 06:30 am
Today I want to share a story from TPG reader Arun, who found a creative way to save on a flight cancellation when his plans changed: I did something recently that I wouldn’t have done without knowledge I got from The Points Guy about status matches.

Does the Costco Anywhere Visa Deserve a Spot in Your Wallet?

By Edward Pizzarello on Jan 02, 2019 06:00 am
I’ll admit it, I’m a Costco loyalist. Or perhaps enthusiast. Or maybe even slightly obsessed freak. When it came time for TPG to talk about the Costco credit card and why it was (or wasn’t) a great idea to have one, I was their guy. Recent years have been pretty big for Costco loyalists, with ...

These Are the Best Times to Visit Mexico

By Meagan Drillinger on Jan 01, 2019 07:00 pm
Now that the holidays are over, it’s just, well, winter in the US. With the icy winds and frigid temperatures comes the call of tranquil, warm water and sandy beaches, perhaps with a margarita and a taco. And while Mexico plays the winter card very well, it turns out winter isn’t always the best time ...

Peranakan Pearl: A Review of the Hotel Indigo Singapore Katong

By Eric Rosen on Jan 01, 2019 06:00 pm
The 131-room Hotel Indigo Singapore Katong is an upbeat, colorful hotel in one of the city’s up-and-coming neighborhoods. Pros: close to Changi International Airport, low room rates, interesting area. Cons: not close to city center (well, for Singapore), limited dining.

By Eric Rosen on Jan 01, 2019 05:00 pm
A visit to a wine region is a chance to explore beautiful countries, sample delicious cuisine and just generally enjoy an epicurean escape. While the time around harvest and crush tends to be the most popular season to visit wine regions, many of them actually host festivals and other fun-filled events at other times of ...
