Flying Malaysia Airlines business class was a treat! Service was both excellent and personable. The Malaysian food was delicious. Seats were spacious and comfortable both for sitting and sleeping (the latter was aided by a fitted mattress pad). The in-flight entertainment had plenty of movie choices, and the screen was bright and responsive.

In August 2021, Hyatt added more than 100 all-inclusive hotels across seven brands with the purchase of Apple Leisure Group and its “All Moments Resorts” collection (AMR). There are now over 40 all-inclusive properties that are bookable in Europe within the World of Hyatt program, and several more are on the way. These are primarily located in Spain and by far the most common brand is the “Alua Trio:” Alua, AluaSun and AluaSoul – I still have no idea what, if anything, differentiates them or how to tell the difference between “Sun” and “Soul.”

During our Flying by the Seat of our Points challenge, my journal became quiet after the first couple of days. The truth was that I didn’t have a ton of stuff to share as my bookings went slowly and frustratingly for those first couple of days. That was largely circumstantial: if I had a few more hours or as much as a day beyond our arbitrary check-in times, options broadened considerably. However, they say that necessity is the mother of invention, and getting to the places I did within the necessary time frames did indeed necessitate a few creative tricks that can be more broadly useful the next time you can’t find the availability you need.

The American Express Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant card has had a a bit of a topsy-turvy journey over the last few years, befitting its unusually wordy name. It began life known as the SPG Luxury card, the high end offering of the now-defunct Starwood Preferred Guest program and was launched at the same time that Marriott began its merger with the Starwood and Ritz Carlton reward programs.

There are improved, limited-time welcome offers available on the Chase United Airlines Explorer Gateway, Quest and Club Infinite cards. The Club Infinite has the biggest offer with 90,000 miles earned after $5,000 in spend. If you value the United Club access that comes with it, that’s a decent deal. If not, the 70,000 mile offer on the United Quest card with $275 less in annual fee may be more appealing.
