How To Use Alaska Companion Fare:  Many of us have had the Alaska Airlines credit card since Alaska miles are so valuable.  One of the perks of the card was their companion fare.  It’s one of the most underutilized perks out in the market.

Singapore Loosens COVID Testing Rules:  If you’re planning on visiting Singapore, then you’re in luck as they’ve updated their COVID testing rules.  Testing requirements will be dropped for fully vaccinated travelers later this month.

Australia Is Joining The Party:  Australia was isolated from the rest of the world during the pandemic and didn’t open up their borders until recently.  Now they’re dropping testing requirements for fully vaccinated travelers.

Why To Planes Fly At 35K Feet:  Maybe this is something you’ve wondered about when you hear the pilot say “we’ll be traveling about about 35,000 feet today…”  It’s interesting to find out why this altitude was chosen.

What Are IHG Points Worth:  Now that IHG has revamped their rewards program, the value of their points have increased.  Valuing points is subjective, as what appeals to one person won’t appeal to the other.  Yet this should give you a good idea of the value you can get from IHG points now.

Guide To Booking Partner Award Bookings:  Many are spooked away from this hobby because of the complexity of award charts and the different rules of booking award flights.  If you’re able to overcome those fears, you’re able to travel the world for pennies on the dollar.  Here’s a great guide on partner awards.
