Does anyone know of a credit card that does any better than 3x points on all travel purchases?  

I have the Wells Fargo Autograph card.  Three points on travel and restaurants…one point on other purchases…no annual fee.

That is what we do.  First class gets us 2 checked bags plus a carry on and a personal item.  It also means I don't get stuck in the middle seat between my husband who needs an aisle seat with his long legs and creepy guy.  I always seemed to get a seat next to creepy guy.  

Yes if needed I rather travel less and go first class , that also counts on suites at hotel’s and cruise ships.

Good luck to all Florida residents with hurricane coming in Wednesday, I have a brother and family in Ft Myer and we have a cousin just north of ft Myer. My brother had huge damage from a hurricane a couple of years ago.

Not really happy about the changes with SW.  However Dallas Love airport is about half the distance to drive for us rather than DFW. Love is SW and some Delta. Plus as I’m not a light packer so bags free is a big deal for me. TBD if the new changes will work for us.  If other airlines are cheaper we’ll be changing. Right now we’re booked with SW through April. 
 

Coach is fine for us on domestic flights. Rare for us to have more than a 3 hour flight from here. 

We also prefer Love Field compared to DFW airport.  Closer to us as well.  We've flown SW numerous times and never had a problem. No fee baggage is a definite plus.  I'm happy SW is keeping that benefit.

 

Just read an update that Harmony of the Seas which @firefly333 is on switched from Roatan to Costa Maya.  Wishing safety for all in Milton's path.

I really feel for the west coast of Florida.  The storm surge from Helene was already pretty devastating to the coastal areas near Tampa/St. Pete/Sarasota.  Several areas that were already severely damaged could see a direct hit from Milton.  Hopefully, we will again just see some tropical storm level winds and 3-5" of rain.  I'm ready for this year's hurricane season to be over.

Good luck to all you in Florida

Wow!  How do you people do that??  I wish!!

 

I wish I could do it more often! Being a bit of a night owl, I'm rarely in bed before midnight, usually closer to 1-1:30 am. Often times, I will wake up at 6:00 am and usually it's a 50-50 chance that I can fall back sleep for a few more hours.

Same here ... night shift is the BEST shift. 

 

All this talk about getting up at 5-6am has me baffled... I'm not even in bed yet at that hour most days!

 

Growing up, my father always worked non-traditional shifts, alternating between 4 pm - midnight or midnight to 8 am.  So he was always getting up at 10 pm to start his "day" or getting home at 1 - 2 am at the end of his day. And of course, he'd need a few hours to wind down after work so he'd be going to bed as the sun was coming up. My mother would always wait up for him to make sure he got home safe, then would be up early the next morning to get us kids off to school.  She used to joke that our house was open 24/7, which was pretty much true as there was always someone awake.

 

Pretty sure that's how I developed my poor sleep habits.

It would have been difficult reaching Roatan in time I imagine they are going behind the storm. They also  had to return to port last night - possible medical emergency.
