Descripción de DLD 70: A Christmas Miracle

Merry Christmas from the DLD crew! This week we’re talking fuel hedges, hotel buyouts and just how compelling mega bonus miles can be. Plus, we’ve got a special guest, David Huberman, on the show. David is arguably the epitome of the high value flyer airline companies are looking for; this year his airfare spend was over $100k. Clearly that’s a very different approach to the industry that any of the rest of us take and I think the conversation we had bears that out.
Major topics in this episode:

IHG is buying Kimpton: What happens to the brand?
American Airlines & US Airways are changing upgrade reciprocity behavior for top tier elites. Will that solve the problems Fozz reported last episode?
Alaska Airlines is running a big promo, so long as you live in their back yard. We talk about the value in that approach.
American Airlines also introduced big new bonuses for premium fares. Is this enough to drive a premium customer to change loyalties? David chimes in on this bit a lot.

Lots of other bits, too.
Enjoy the show!
