After my stay at the Hyatt they were blown out of the water, just a really nice hotel. I should say I have very low expectations for any hotel in the UK, but in London I have ...

I was lucky to stay at the brand new Hilton Frankfurt Airport in Germany! WOW what an amazing place! When I walked into the lobby of the Hilton, I thought to myself this looks like a Hyatt.

As I first reported back in November Hilton will once again have the "ANY WEEKEND ANYWHERE" sale. You can book some very good rates now thru any Hilton booking channel, the sale requires you to book now till the end of January, and stay any weekend in 2012 at all Hilton Family hotels worldwide. This is a fully pre-paid rate, and is for the room only. Some hotels have a rate called, “AWA WITH BREAKFAST” this rate is more but gives each booked person in the room a full breakfast. ...

On August 1, 2012, Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental (IAH) Airport will become the first airport in Texas to receive A380  service, when Lufthansa upgrades the aircraft type it uses to operate the Houston-Frankfurt flight. LH440. IAH will be Lufthansa’s fourth destination in the United States with A380 service.

The LH A380 will operate from Terminal D at IAH. Over the next several months, the Houston Airport will be renovating Terminal D to make accommodations to handle the extra-large aircraft.

There also looks like some good reward space in Y and C for this flight.
