Many airline and hotel frequent flyer programs offer lifetime status, whereby you can earn status for a “lifetime” (whether that’s your lifetime or the lifetime of the program is a different question). 😉 World of Hyatt Globalist is my favorite hotel status, and in this post I’d like to take a closer look at how you can earn lifetime Globalist status in the World of Hyatt program. Earning World of Hyatt lifetime Globalist status While the World of Hyatt program has three elite tiers — Discoverist, Explorist, and Globalist — the program only offers lifetime status for the top Globalist…

U.S. President Donald Trump said he would deploy a hospital ship to Greenland, alleging that many people there are sick and not receiving care, even though both of the U.S. Navy’s hospital ships are currently docked at a shipyard in Alabama.Trump’s announcement prompted a defense on Sunday of Denmark and Greenland’s health care system from their leaders, and it was the latest point of friction with the American leader who has frequently talked about seizing the massive Arctic territory.“It’s a no thank you from here,” said Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen.Trump’s social media post about a hospital ship came after…

I just spent a night at the 38-room Nimb Hotel Copenhagen, which belongs to Small Luxury of the World (SLH). This is even part of SLH’s Hilton Honors collaboration, so I actually booked this stay with a Hilton Honors free night award, when the cash rate would’ve been around $1,000. I’ve gotta say, I’ve been fascinated by this hotel for a long time, and have been curious to check it out. After all, this is a luxury hotel inside an amusement park, with a very unusual theme (it’s a Moorish-style white palace). So what’s going on here, and is this…

The aviation industry faces a new set of problems after the US Supreme Court struck down tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

US Customs and Border Protection said it will stop collecting the IEEPA-based tariffs at 12:01 a.m. ET on February 24 and will deactivate the tariff codes tied to those orders.  For aviation and aerospace, like many other industries, the…

Airports have changed a lot over the years, both for better and worse. On the one hand, they have some unbelievable amenities that would have been unimaginable decades ago. On the other hand, many airports just haven’t grown efficiently, and don’t seem to consider the passenger experience. In this post, I thought it would be fun to talk a bit about the world’s best airports. I’ll share what I consider the best airports to be, and then I’d love to hear what OMAAT readers think. What makes an airport great? The fundamental issue with deciding which airport is “best” is…
