end of 2022....

Bit under the weather this week, and thankfully I was at home so I wouldn't be contagious to anyone else.  Hope everyone is staying safe.

The mess of Southwest Airlines scheduling continues to persist though it appears most will return to normal by the weekend.

Kickoff of Holiday Travel?

Good morning!  I'm on my way back east and wanted to share a quick update.  It appears holiday travel has kicked off!  Lines at security for Terminal 2 SFO were significant though moving steadily.  If you're planning any travel this weekend or through the upcoming week, be sure to build in some extra time for bag checks and TSA.  PreCheck was busy though not as full as primary security.  

Safe travels to all!

I wish this would have been triple points but it's not awful for planned stays.

Don't forget to sign up!

Hyatt/AA Instant Status Pass

Has anyone else received an email from American about the Instant Status Pass partnership with Hyatt?  I received the email and invite to participate, and with some shifted travel this month decided to register. 

Instant Platinum Pro status on American helps for a number of reasons, mainly for seat selection.  The possibility of upgrades is also included though I tend to keep my expectations low for those given the high number of elites flying these days.  

I'm not sure I'll be able to fly enough to get points and requalify, but I'm happy to have the options for the next few months of travel I have planned.
