In this test case at the Renaissance, you can book a business traveler package for $436, which is still cheaper than any of the competing OTAs, and get these benefits as well as a $142 credit for a future trip. I checked the rates myself at Hotels.com and also using Google, which has a pretty good tool to aggregate hotel rates from multiple OTAs and the hotel’s own website. There was a single offer of $438 through Trip.com, but even this exception is still more expensive than SnapTravel’s business traveler package and doesn’t some with the same benefits or credit. It’s possible to do both, as many hotels have business traveler packages on SnapTravel that are still cheaper than the competing rates on other OTAs.
Over lunch on Monday, I saw the horrific news of the fire at the iconic Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris. We decided to get off at the Saint Michel/Notre-Dame station – not because of the cathedral, but because it seemed like a good central location to start a walking tour. Ironically, while the spire’s collapse garnered the most attention during the fire, it’s actually a “new” addition to the cathedral. By the grace of God, firefighters saved the Notre-Dame’s structure, and many of its most important artifacts.
Several years ago I wrote about some exotic airlines I’ve flown, so see below for a summary of the less exotic 60 or so alliance airlines I’ve flown. Here are the 27 members of Star Alliance: Star alliance is the largest of the 3 alliances, and there are 10 members I have yet to fly. There are also some airlines that I’ve flown with as Star Alliance members, but they are no longer. I’ve not flown on Aeroflot, Aerolineas Argentinas, Aeromexico, Air Europa, Air France, Garuda Indonesia, Kenya Airways, Middle East Airlines, Saudia, Vietnam Airways, or Xiamen.
