Tambo del Inka in Peru is an extremely valuable redemption. Rooms are around 450 USD but only around 30K points per night. You can even catch a train straight from there to Aguas Calientes/Machu Picchu.

Alas I went there before I had an ambassador (way back in the SPG days, only a Plat-75 at the time), but absolutely loved it. Urubamba also has some great (and cheap) restaurants. It’s a fantastic base to see the Sacred Valley and elevation is below 10,000 so the altitude sickness wasn’t as bad as in Cusco.

I'm a light sleeper who cares too much about the people around me, but I've got a flight to London next Friday from 7pm NYC time to 7am UK time, and I'd really like to master sleeping on a plane just this once and not be in jet lag hell for the entire day after I land. I'll be in premium economy in an aisle seat. I usually take melatonin before bed and sleep on my side. Does anyone have suggestions for an OTC sleeping pill or pillow that actually works, or other advice for sleeping on a plane?
