Win A Lufthansa First Class Duck!

Lufthansa First ClassLufthansa First Class Ducks are highly collectible yet hard to come by since you can only get one at the First Class Lounge & Terminal. You could also purchase them on sites like eBay or ask a friend that has multiples to give you one!

Every week @Lufthansa_FCT runs a contest on Twitter, giving away a duck to one lucky winner. Continue reading Win A Lufthansa First Class Duck!

Reminder: $20 Off $50 Whole Foods Hyatt Card Offer + Registration Issue Solved

Whole Foods

In the middle of August an offer came out where those of us with the Hyatt credit card could register to get $20 off $50 at Whole Foods.

This is a fantastic offer of which Kim and I both planned to redeem when we got back from our 5 week trip to the Pacific.

The internet wasn’t the best in many of the places that we visited. Whenever I tried to register for the promo, I’d get an error message saying the offer may’ve expired. Continue reading Reminder: $20 Off $50 Whole Foods Hyatt Card Offer + Registration Issue Solved

You’ll Want To Bring Your Bathing Suit To This Airport Lounge

While waiting for a flight, it’s always nice to have access to an airport lounge.

During our 5 Weeks in the Pacific, the Michael W Travels family made many visits to the Fiji Airways Tabua Lounge in Nadi, Fiji. It was awesome to have free WiFi, drinks, decent food and a comfy place to relax. (Too bad we had to visit a temporary lounge while the new one is being built.)

You Might Not Want To Use This In Your Hotel Room

After reading this you might want to reevaluate the idea of using one of the amenities in your hotel room in the future.

Coffee is clearly a very popular beverage and a must-drink each day for many people. A cup of coffee can easily set you back $3-$4 a pop. Luckily, the majority of hotel rooms come with a hot water kettle so you can make a cup of coffee (or tea) in your room. Continue reading You Might Not Want To Use This In Your Hotel Room

11 Countries Visited, 55,000+ Miles Flown- Happy 1st Birthday to Theo!

Lelepa Island, Vanuatu (8/30/17)

On August 30, 2016 the Michael W Travels family got a big surprise. Theo couldn’t wait to meet his family, arriving 5 weeks early.

It was definitely a bit scary at first. Theo had to spend some time in the NICU, although not nearly as long as what we were originally told. After six nights, Theo came home and got to meet big brother Lucas.

Boy what a difference a year makes.

Theo turned one recently and we got to celebrate and wish him a very Happy 1st Birthday in Vanuatu! (We’ve since returned home from our 5 week trip to the Pacific.) Continue reading 11 Countries Visited, 55,000+ Miles Flown- Happy 1st Birthday to Theo!

The Michael W Travels family made it back home after being delayed by close to 30 hours. This caused us to miss a day in San Francisco where I had hoped to check out a game at AT&T Park, home of the San Francisco Giants.

In the end, Virgin America came through in helping to get us home, but I’d have to give a big thumbs down to Fiji Air and American Airlines. (More on that in an upcoming post.)

Since then I’ve earned a few hundred bonus points. Check out some posts about how to earn some points here, here and here.

To date, each offer has been for 50 bonus Marriott Rewards Points. However, I just came across an offer to earn an even bigger bonus! Continue reading Retweet For An EASY 150 Marriott Rewards Points
