Mar 5th, 2009 at 3:30PM: Sunday March 8th is when we have to give back the hour we gained last year when DST started. For most hotel chains, this means guests will get one hour less to enjoy the comfort of their beds, but the Hilton Garden Inn chain has taken this, and turned it into a smart opportunity for a little PR goodwill. All guests who stay at a Hilton Garden Inn this Sunday will get an additional 2 hours to ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

DST robs you of an hour of sleep - Hilton gives it back

Feb 27th, 2009 at 2:00PM: Nearly 200,000 travel-related jobs were lost in 2008. Another 247,000 are forecasted for 2009. And, the financial crisis is still developing. While we lament the loss of six- and seven-figure investment banking jobs, let's not forget what those big money gigs mean for the travel industry. Consider your average Wall Street titan.

Dec 4th, 2008 at 1:00PM: Mileage promotions from Delta are coming in hot and heavy, and those on the ball with some of their most recent promotions are set to make quite the killing in a pretty short time. Their latest promotion is in collaboration with Hilton's points program, HHonors. From now until the end of February, each time you spend more than two nights at a Hilton hotel they'll give you six times the miles that ...Take a shortcut to Hilton Honors Gold Status
Oct 12th, 2008 at 4:00PM: Reaching the upper tiers of any travel related rewards program almost always takes money, time, effort, money and money -- the rewards reaped should only be for the profitable consumer, right? Occasionally, however, programs release shortcuts -- ways that guaranteed high-dollar users can skip up a tier and enjoy the benefits -- so that they can lock in a particular demographic or company. And when ...
