Friends,

The newsletter is back, along with the podcast, a new vlog, and a brand-new way to book hotels better.

After months of quiet building behind the scenes, I’m thrilled to share that our new subscriber-only hotel booking portal is live. It gives you access to elite-level perks and rates at the world’s best hotels. Think Virtuoso, Hyatt Privé, and Four Seasons Preferred Partner, all in one place and available only to newsletter subscribers.

If you are reading this in your inbox, you are already a subscriber.

You will need a special password to access the site, so reply to this email to get yours and start booking right away. Otherwise, expect to hear from me with more soon.

My goal is simple and ambitious: to build the best place to book travel on the internet, day by day and trip by trip.

In the latest podcast episode, I share a touch more on how the hotel portal works (and why we built it with TravelWits), unpack the new Amex Platinum changes, and reflect on the recent MD-11 crash in Louisville. Over on YouTube, the newest weekly travel vlog is live and it’s a great one.

This next chapter is about reaching new heights to help you travel well, with better tools, smarter insights, and a few great stories along the way. Thanks (seriously) for the opportunity to serve you.

Fly well.

Tommy
