- American’s final MD80 flight will be flight number AA80 on September 4 from Dallas Fort-Worth to Chicago O’Hare departing at 9 a.m. and arriving 11:35 a.m.
- Some Alila hotels now bookable with Hyatt points. Some day I’ll drive a 1966 Cobra (red with white racing stripes, natch) down the Pacific Coast Highway and make a stop at Ventana Big Sur.

- I said it was too good to be true or last, the $69 buy up for Qatar Airways business class passengers to use the first class al Safwa lounge in Doha (you could drink hundreds of dollars in fine wines like Chateau Ducru-Beacaillou 2008 and Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame 2006 for your minor duckets. Reportedly the price is now up to $165 which isn’t crazy but sure adds up for a family.
- US border searches of journalists, because they can remember that journalists at least can highlight bad behavior, which serves as somewhat of a deterrent, most of us have no such protection.

Just snagged a points stay at Ventana for next summer. What a fabulous use of Hyatt points!
Are journalists supposed to be a protected can class?
To be honest, the item about the “poor victim reporter” is an example of a self important agenda driven activist, who calls himself a “reporter,” but seeks not the truth, but whatever supports his belief system. Is an arrogant smarta$$ when questioned, evasive, non responsive answers, and then, blames Trump because he is subjected to more intensive questioning?
Does calling yourself a “Reporter” automatically exempt you from all basic expectations of simple civility?
Being provocative and morphing into a victim… Sheesh.
