How do I pick the best airline and hotel chain for reward status? I'm about to start traveling a lot more next year, and I don't have any real strong loyalties. I live in the north-east in a mid-sized city, and will be traveling mostly in the north-east. My airport is primarily served by American, Delta and Southwest, but isn't a hub for any airline.

Yes, Bonvoy simply because of the options.

As for airlines you listed, Delta > Southwest > American. I personally avoid American like the plague.

Delta and Marriott is the GOAT combo

For hotels I think the consensus is the Bonvoy (Marriott, basically) is the best one.

For airlines the advice is pick the local hub airline. If your local airport is not a hub, what is the nearest hub? Can you check a few major routes and see if the same airline seems to have best coverage?

Marriott and Delta ftw

My airport is not a hub either but I love delta and there is a delta hub 2 hours away so I typically fly delta unless I was going somewhere with a direct on another airline.

For airlines you’ll probably want whatever hub is closest to your location. Mine is united so I exclusively use them. 

Marriott and United

Planning a trip to Rome and Naples with day trips to Tivoli and Pompeii. Is 1 week enough? I feel like reading through 3/4 day Rome and 2 day Naples itineraries, the trip seems rushed. I have unlimited PTO but my SO is limited in time (but luckily he can work extra hrs and then use less PTO). I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts? For reference, I did Venice-Florence-Rome in a week and it seemed okay but it also wasn’t as planned out

Anyone get very depressed and anxious specifically around their birthday?? Comes around every year and it’s hard because people are asking me how I’m going to celebrate or what the plan is.
