I’m officially a podcaster now!! 🤗 The first 2 episodes of the @upgradedpoints.bsky.social podcast are in the books!! Keep an eye out for the first episode on April 14!

Ok #travelcreators what would you do if you discovered a CVB used one of your photos in their brochure without permission (p.s. the photo has your husband and kid in it?) Asking for me. I’m pissed. 🤬

2 firsts on my AA flight this week: we had to wait to de-fuel because they put too much in. 🫤 … then after landing they pulled up past the jet bridge (of course it took 30 minutes to realize the mistake) #travel

This would mean flying from ORD to DFW and spending the night in Dallas…I would have done it if I wasn’t traveling for work.

Final offer was $2k cash or a $3,500 AA voucher. 😮 If I wasn’t on a work trip I would have taken that in a heartbeat.

On my AA flight, they are offering $1,900 cash (well technically a gift card) for 1 or 2 volunteers to take the next flight! …and no one is taking it! 😯 Would you?? #travel

Waking up in St. Kitts 🏝️ #travel

Balcony furniture at a Park Hyatt 😳. Uh, if you’re going for the “weathered” look, it’s not working. #travel

Why I Wouldn't Book the Andaz London Liverpool Street Again Andaz London Liverpool Street is a Hyatt hotel in London that you can book with points. While it wasn't all bad, I wouldn't book it again.

I love the Andaz brand from Hyatt but this location didn’t quite live up to the standards. upgradedpoints.com/travel/hotel...

Part 2 of this question: the reel in question is just a meme with my video/text. Does that change your mind about how you would handle it?

I discovered another creator stole one of my Reels and reposted it on their (large) Facebook page. No tag, no credit at all. This account is full of stolen Reels. They won’t take it down. What would you do?

This gif has never had more meaning to me than it does right now

Too funny…the first think I said when I saw it was “that’s what I had on Air France last month” ☺️

Breakfast is just better when it’s room service.

I made the mistake of traveling with only 2 pairs of new boots…that are both too big. Shit. Just shit. What was I thinking?

I just boarded a flight. The woman in front of me walks up without a boarding pass. The gate agent had to ask her for it. How do you get through life not knowing you need a fucking boarding pass to get on a plane?!?

I was just there last week!

Notre Dame 12/6/24

I don’t care how great a trip is…it always feels great to get home.

Ever wondered why walking around museums is weirdly tiring? At normal speed our legs act like pendulums, swinging forward from the hip & saving us a huge amount of energy. In "museum shuffle" our muscles must do ALL the work of constant readjustment. So cake in the cafe is scientifically justified 🥳

Can we start teaching airplane etiquette in school?

Wow, I’m shocked at how bad the Air France Lounge at CDG (T2) is. 👎👎

This dude stuck his head through the fence barrier on the Eiffel Tower. 😳 How do we feel about this?? (Also, anyone who immediately pictures Julia at the governor’s mansion in Designing Women…we should be friends.😁)

I assumed it would be busy but, wow, it was way more crowded than I expected. Still had a fantastic time though!

I’m shocked at how busy London is. The traffic is next level.

I’m London bound!! 🇬🇧✈️🇬🇧

Looks like I’m going to need to pack a bigger goat for this weekend in London 🥶 #travel

I’d love to be included. Thanks!

I feel seen

👏👏👏
