Travel Tip Thursday > Complimentary Beer And Wine
Did you know that starting February 1st, American Airlines will be offering beer and wine in the main cabin compliments of the airline? Passengers traveling on American-operated flights between the U.S. and Europe, the U.S. and Asia as well as long-haul flights between the U.S. and Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay, beginning next month, can choose from a variety of complimentary beer and wine options. AA collaborated with classically trained wine consultant Ken Chase to select the beverage choices for the various routes and designed to compliment inflight menus.
APProdisiac Wednesday > Games
Happy Wednesday!
What better way to kill some time than with iPhone games? I’ve got 3 for your today.
The first is “Temple Run” which tests your reflexes as you race down ancient cliffs. You can swipe to turn, jump and slide to avoid obstacles, collect coins and buy power ups all while being chased by monkeys. Download app with caution as it is highly addicting!!
Next up is “Cut The Rope” which is a game where you have to cut ropes, catch stars and avoid various obstacles with one mission in mind, to feed the Om Nom creature its candy.
Last we have an arcade classic, “The Simpsons.” It is very similar to the arcade version that was popular in the 90s. You play Homer as he walks through Springfield in pursuit of Doughnuts. It’s a great trip down memory lane and you must check out if you’re a Simpsons fan.

Nike+ Fuel Band – NYC Release Event
I am in NYC right now for the release of the Nike+ Fuel Band. To put it plain and simple…If you have a body…you are an athlete. This device will definitely change our daily routine and push us even more to maintain a active life style. Now I am not the most athletic person in the world but why not take the stairs instead of the elevator…or park at the furtherest spot in the mall and walk the extra 100ft. I wore this all day today and learned that its not the big steps I need to take, its the small steps that lead to giant leaps. Maybe I will do a marathon this year…..what you think??
Travel Tip Thursday > Ways To Keep Frequent Flier Miles From Expiring
Today’s tips are short and simple! Keeping track of your frequent flier miles and when they expire can be difficult to stay on top of but there are a few ways to gather points to keep your accounts from going inactive.
1. Netflix – If you open an account on Netflix you are given 1,500 American Advantage miles!
2. Hotels – If you give a hotel you’re staying in your frequent flier number when you check in, you get new miles. Amount varies from hotel to hotel.
3. Car Rentals – Car rental companies partner with airlines to offer awards so, if you rent a car, be sure to give them your frequent flier number as well so that you are awarded miles.
4. Dining – Probably one of the best and easiest ways to gather miles. Most offer miles-per-dollar awards and sign up bonuses. For example, American Airlines and US Airways give 1,000 miles after your first meal.
