Hyatt has delivered out Diamond Gold Passport members 4 suite upgrades this morning. I have been waiting for them to arrive to upgrade a stay for the autumn. Oddly this year they are yet to appear in the ‘My Awards’ section of the web site which is where you normally find that. The 2014-15 certs…
The UK’s independent newspaper runs an article this morning accusing BA of intercepting email and phone calls of some of its employees during a bitter dispute in 2011.

I have used UBER about a dozen times, all in the USA, and typically from large airports to my hotel or for early morning departures where public transport is not operating. I have used it in Miami, San Francisco and New York, but never in London. My drivers have been a mixed bunch – an…
I have read a couple of other bloggers indicating that the changes to OnBusiness (BA’s small and medium business rewards scheme) coming in May are not as bad as expected. I thought it might be good to work out exactly what impact the changes will have on the points I have accrued. So my balance…
BA has issued a further update to the changes they announced on Friday to the OnBusiness Small and Medium business rewards scheme. I reviewed these changes yesterday and you can read about them here.

In an unexpected move BA has ‘enhanced’ its programme which rewards businesses who have travellers that use BA for their travel.
