When it comes to pollution, aviation is way up there! But we have progress: How the airline industry is cleaning up its climate act. The two airlines that are trying harder than the others are United and JetBlue. But still soooooo much left to do here! To get an idea:
United uses more biofuel than any other airline. But the over 1 million gallons it uses annually is only 1% of its overall fuel use.

Congrats Marriott! The biggest data breaches of all time, ranked.
I always wanted to go to one of these free dinners set up by financial product sales types. And record everything. But I feared for my physical safety afterwards lol. Anyway, this New York Times journalist did and here is the article: We Went to a Steak Dinner Annuity Pitch. The Salesman Wasn’t Pleased. Avoid these salesmen! At all costs. Not worth it. And you can rest assured the products they SELL are GARBAGE! Sounds familiar with bloggers hawking credit cards hey?
Yomadic‘s latest: Abandoned Frank Lloyd Wright – Tour of Shams Palace, Iran. Still, the best travel blog imho. MUST click, what a place to visit, so surreal!

I have plenty of miles, I don’t trust LifeMiles and the thought of getting entangled in phone call hell quickly makes me lose interest. You do what you do.
Yet another interview of Randy Petersen. Not much new that you have not heard before. Other than Boarding Area having 140 bloggers….140?
Back in the old TBB days I would be posting scathing reviews of “select” Titan posts . One of them would have been a post by the blogger formerly known as Mommy Points who moved on to The Points Guy and now has to produce content on a regular basis. So, she wrote a post about how she ended up having a crying fit because she could not get into the United Polaris lounge LOL. And some of the commenters, I swear, were way more harsh than you guys ever were 🙂 Reader alerted me to it so I went there and felt bad for giving it a click, sad!
I will be around Brooklyn in NYC for the holidays. Maybe I’ll try for a TBB readers meetup again, we shall see. I am collecting “Best of” 2018 posts I am going to unleash at you over the holidays as everything slows down big time!
I loved the Free Solo movie, the documentary of Alex Honnold conquering El Capitan.

Breaking: TPG is raising its points valuation guide to increase the value of the Amex Membership Rewards points now that the Amex Platinum card annual fee is going up to $595.
LOL.
Brenton says
Went there to read the mommy points meltdown, and it was totally worth it. It’s the first time in a long while that I’ve seen so many people hang up against anyone other than Trump.
My favorite: “Maybe you should start your own mommy points blog. I just don’t think you understand the purpose of TPG”
flyernick says
Yeah, that comment was pretty clever. But overall, I really was surprised by the harshness of most of the comments. Possibly because I could see myself trying to over-optimize a situation like that and having it all go south. But now my kids are old enough to say, “Just no. We aren’t going to try that hare-brained scheme; it would just make things worse”
Brenton says
Damn millenials and their 7 figure UR balances.
