InterContinental Hotels has opened yet another location in Canada. Now open is the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Cold Lake Alberta.
We here at Rewards Canada are super excited about this little news tidbit – Air Canada
mainline is coming back to YYC-LAX (and YVR-SFO/LAX) marking the end of
Air Canada Rouge service on the routes as of May next year. We fly to
California quite often and it will be nice to have regular AC aircraft
back on the route. (Source Airlineroute.net)
American Airlines has announced
new service between Los Angeles and Auckland New Zealand. You may be
wondering why we are posting this on a Canadian site? The main reason
why is that American Airlines is an AIR MILES preferred airline partner
for redemptions and this comes on the heels of one of our readers
sending us a complaint that they have saved up enough miles to fly to
New Zealand but can’t fathom the huge fees required on top of the miles
to fly on Air New Zealand (also an AIR MILES partner). Well now that AA
will fly to NZ this opens up the option to use those AIR MILES on these
flights with a lot less fees as AA doesn’t charge exorbitant carrier
surcharges (nee Fuel Surcharges) HT View from the Wing
News started breaking a few weeks ago that Design Hotels
was to become part of Starwood. There has been a soft launch of 5
properties into the Starwood Preferrred Guest program. Prior to this
your only earning option with Design Hotels was with Lufthansa’s Miles
& More. (Source SPG)
