Ebates has a huge 13% cash back sale today, because, you know it is Friday the 13th! If you don’t have an Ebates account yet, you should open up one with my referral link, thank you!
The “news” is out, officially that is. Yes, Southwest is going to start flying to Hawaii. Some day in the future. If Southwest does not kill the Companion Pass soon after so many bloggers keep blogging about it so they can sell more Southwest credit cards, I guess we will find out.
You can book Delta flights with Virgin Atlantic. And good luck to you!
Bloggers started selling the $450 annual fee (not waived in the first year!) United MileagePlus Club card. Sign up bonus (where the juice is!) is 50,000 United miles for $3k minimum spend. If you are out of cards to apply, you are an exclusive United flyer, you are under 5/24, you have no other premium travel rewards card in your arsenal….I guess you can go for it. With my links, yes it is offered #mindblown. Other than that, tell the bloggers who sell it like it is some amazing card to go screw themselves! For latest BestOffers with my links, please click HERE. Ok, lets move on, I feel dirty already lol.
Looks like Lufthansa is buying a chunk of Air Berlin. 81 planes and 3,000 of its 8,500 employees. Good for them and best of luck to the rest of the employees there.
I still use ITA Matrix as my go to airfare search site. Travel Codex is starting yet another tutorial series on how to use it. How to Use ITA Matrix to Find the Best Flight is the first installment. For the next ones, see advanced BLOG BUZZ section below 🙂
An update on what happened to Legal Nomads. The TBB community wishes her good health and speedy recovery. Spinal Taps, a Burglary, and a Legal Nomads Hiatus. I don’t care, she has earned her place in the TBB Blogs I Like list until, well, for ever!
Blogosphere went nuts with a Hyatt feature offering “experiences” to World of Hyatt members. At ridiculous prices. WTF! I don’t think I could find a more ridiculous term than “Globalist”. Hold my beer! This site Hyatt partners with is titled, please sit down, IfOnly. Shaking my head.
Landlopers lists his bucket list transportation experiences. Some of these are great! Riding the Bernina Express train is on my list!
I bring you the latest sex robot news here. Stop laughing. I have no idea how we started in this sex robot thing but I do find it so entertaining! And it fits my blog mission perfectly. Okay. Breaking news! Intelligent sex robot Emma is here!
Emma is the first mass-market intelligent sex robot offering an impressive range of features, including speech recognition, artificial intelligence, touch sensing technology, and body temperature control. [How soon before Amazon sells them? #mindblownwithAI]
Emma offers a customizable appearance and advanced material quality, constructed of high-grade TPE that is resistant to damage, tears, and staining, while Emma’s body shapes and faces are modeled after real women to ensure the user’s experience is as realistic as possible. [My head is shaking to oblivion!]
An extended five-year warranty, 24/7 online tech support, and lifetime software upgrades round out Emma’s advantages. [Will send TBB intern undercover and request transcripts of tech support sessions…imagine the possibilities LOL]
Okay, lets come down now. Lets get back to more serious educational stuff. Why Does Sweden Have So Many Startups? Important question! Yes, I was surprised too. And this stood out:
Around 65 percent of Swedes aged 18 to 64 think there are good opportunities to start a firm where they live, compared to just 47 percent of Americans in that age group. [Hmm, we are the land of entrepreneurs and they tax everything, wtf!]
More highlights from the 2017 National Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year Contest. So gorgeous!
This photo pretty much captures the plight of the Rohingya refugees…
China’s Lucky Knot bridge, three bridges woven into one. It opened in Changsha in late 2016.

Here is the second, more advanced part, on how to use ITA Matrix.
The amount of credit card selling posts are becoming even more frequent. Is it just me?
The way the Titans struggle sometimes is too much. Care to guess what card was sold next?
And I leave you with this…Perfectly captures my blog’s monetization efforts woohoo!

Happy Friday! Great to hear about LUV competition for HI routes, hopefully that means some lower prices or more award seats on legacy airlines. Thank you for blogging. Keep up your cycling this weekend, I’ll be out there riding bright and early tomorrow.
Cheers,

Ok, so what’s Emma’s phone number?
I am in day 4 (of 5) of this fasting diet so likely no cycling this Saturday. Maybe on Sunday if it gets warmer.
Emma’s phone to email list subscribers only 🙂
The dude collapsing at your soccer game made you fast?
No. I was going to start it on Monday but decided to play Monday night…so I started the fasting on Tuesday then.
Day 4 of 5…dreaming of tacos and pizza!
Just read FM, Greg sure is living the High Life! A real Bon Vivant, TPG or GLEFF. I miss the regular guy Greg I thought I was helping with my applications. No More! TBB links for C.C. applications only, from now on I promise (although I cannot get any C.C’s hardly anymore, thanks Emily and her EX!)
HT: THEHORNYTRAVELER.COM
I thought you were posting Bukaki pics there for a minute
NEW show on BRAVO NETWORK…..THE HOUSEWIVES OF AUSTIN’s BLOGGERS, a look into the lives of these beautiful women spending their husband’s hard earned credit card commission checks. Check your local listings for time and date.
U are on fire today!
Here is an idea…..Sequel to the movie Rosemary’s Baby…Emily’s Baby……………..Hey I’m just thinking out loud here.
Harvey Weinstein if your reading this from your Sex Rehab Luxury Suite in AZ., you can run with this movie idea, gratis. Harvey Fierstein, same goes for you too!
TMZ just posted a recording of a phone call from Weinstein to Polanski, asking Polanski if he could crash at his place in Europe for a few months until these “fake news” stories blow over…
I think Weinstein will make his story a movie…he already has the actors lined up…That ugly Depardieu guy will play Weinstein, perfect role.
I wish Trump was fake.
Nice connection.
“Emma’s body shapes and faces are modeled after real women to ensure the user’s experience is as realistic as possible.”
Now that’s a real deal kiiler if I ever saw one.
Yeah, I don’t remember a robot that looked like Amy Schumer in Ex Machina…
The Ex-Machina robot is my all time fav…I will wait for the buy one get one free sale!
Maybe give one away here as a prize?
Hola from Barcelona. Since you like Fairmont so much, you should check out the Fairmont Barcelona. They have treated me wonderfully.
They know how to treat guests, especially Platinums! 🙂
But how does the property xompare with other Fairmonts?
Another pic I posted here a month ago showed up in View From The Wing. With HT to someone I know. He told me he tagged Gary on Facebook. I am going to take him off my friends list 🙂
Day 5 of fasting diet. Tacos tasted so good last night. In my dream!
Next Tuesday TBB post has been scheduled! I’ll get most of Monday’s post in today too.
Hardest working blogger. Most underpaid blogger, sad!
To the reader who gets pet food with my Amazon link, next time we meet, drinks on me!
Two more cards here and I shut up whining for the rest of the month. We can do this!
I feel lighter and look slimmer. Or maybe it is all in my head. Getting used to that hunger feeling. Actually, it is not too bad. My goal is to do this 5 day fast once a month. Definitely amazingly hard! I am almost done with my huge first bottle of hibiscus tea. Four more bottles to go the rest of the day.
The Titans are taking the plastic pumping to insane levels. Just when you thought it couldn’t get even more rampant , wow. Amazingly none have quit yet. Or they are just pumping like mad because it must be harder to convert now. Newbies, newbies, newbies you are the dough!
Super ridiculous post at Business Insider glorifying TPG…Omg, I swear these must be bought!
You all have a great Saturday!
Oh Jesus!
Since when this Sam Chui dude switched to Boarding Area? So many experts bloogging about the same crap!
>>>>>>>>Hi, My Name is Sam Chui and I am one of the worlds most followed aviation bloggers; I am also a world renowned vlogger, photographer and journalist.
Well, at least he is not a travel thought leader lol.
