Trying to select between Courtyard Wakiki Beach and Sheraton Princess Kaiulani. Which is better?

If you’re paying, use corporate codes. I’d say SPK is a little nicer. Both aren’t on the beach, so it’s a similar experience with both. Rooms are both comparable, and you’re really just getting a standard room in both.... if you’re using bonvoy points, I’d splurge for something nicer right on the beach like the Moana surfrider since it’s only 10k points more per night for a hotel that is generally much more expensive $$

Ah thanks. I was trying to be frugal with points, saving for a trip to Europe end of this year. But maybe I’ll do the Moana instead and pay for a couple of nights.

With EY corporate rates you should be able to get it to be around $250-$285. I just booked The Royal Hawaiian (Sheraton property) for a wedding and it was $280. Not terrible. Agreed that dropping 60k points is a hard pill to swallow for 1 night

Thoughts on the proposed JetBlue -Spirit Merger?

I used to be a big fan of Jetblue(nyc based), but lately I feel like the airline is just as bad as the low cost ones. Old aircrafts, canceled and delayed flights. I can see why it’s important for JetBlue to have this merger for their relevance in this field.

Hey all! Need a couple book recs for an upcoming beach trip.

Looking for a great non-fiction, relating to travel or world history (not just one moment in time). Could also be about the marketing world or memoirs of a business leader kinda thing.

Fiction wise I also like fantasy, paranormal, and romance. Some fave book series are the Black Gryphon from Mercedes Lackey, Game of Thrones, and From Jamaica Lane series. Similar books?
