re: Jeff Duncan: Saints to play a game in Paris as soon as Fall 2026

Air France has done temporary directs to CDG before for conferences etc. This one would be a no brainer.
re: New Orleans Christmas Eve

Looking for similar. Did Roosevelt last year which was fine, but lobby is a cluster on Christmas Eve, and obviously no Sazerac bar (which is also of course packed). Lot of places are Reveillon menus only, which is usually nice but tough with kids too.
re: ESPN Unlimited to become directly integrated into YouTube TV app
Posted by TheChiefHasArrived on 11/18/25 at 11:29 am to SG_Geaux
Fubo already has this. Already has a $55 sports and news only plan too. The $30 ESPN Unlimited solo plan is compelling if you have YTTV just for sports, but then can't do multiview on NCAAF gamedays with games on non-ESPN networks, although admittedly that's very few.

re: Do you feel it is still safe to travel to Cabo?

Wife saw the same thing before we just returned back from MX. We were just hanging at a resort but couldn't have felt safer.
Seems as though this "story" has been going viral every few days but the posters aren't even verified to be real. FOX is the first actual news site I have seen implying otherwise, although their sources seem to be Facebook so not sure if it's any more vaild.

In Houston the answer is United, thread over. Otherwise, DeathValley is correct.
re: Dexter
Posted by TheChiefHasArrived on 9/30/25 at 2:19 pm to stonedbegonias
I'm a huge Dexter fan so renewed Paramount for Resurrection after hearing reviews, but I didn't really enjoy it. Without giving too much away, the premise of the whole season seemed laughably far-fetched.
re: Week in Breck with young kids in late October - things to do suggestion?
Posted by TheChiefHasArrived on 9/29/25 at 1:08 pm to ColoradoAg03
We did Colorado Springs when my daughter was 1 and wife pregnant which has a great zoo, nice enough downtown, Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods. It was summer, and may not be helpful if you're set on Breck but I picked the spot based on knowing we'd have easy things to do with her.
re: Best Hyatt Property Locations for an outdoorsy/hiking vacation?
Posted by TheChiefHasArrived on 8/15/25 at 10:35 am to TigerTatorTots
A lot of the vacation towns in CO mentioned above have vacation rentals too, so you can get a cabin. Tahoe is a pain to get to from MSY, connecting flight and a long drive from the airport. In my younger days I did Hyatt Place Keystone which was 15k/night and almost but not quite ski in/ski out and amazing value to stay in Keystone, but not sure what it's like in the summer and you probably can do something a bit more upscale with 200K.
re: New Credit Card for Travel - Recommendations?
Posted by TheChiefHasArrived on 8/15/25 at 10:26 am to VermilionTiger
Yes, you get miles for flights, but you (usually) don't get benefits for hotel chains. For flights, it essentially works as a cash booking from the airline's end. If something goes wrong, you usually have to call C1 instead of the airline, which can make things more difficult in delays.

More international flights would be worth it
re: Which airline has the best rewards program for domestic travelers?
Posted by TheChiefHasArrived on 7/22/25 at 2:50 pm to auwaterfowler
I'd echo WhoGeaux's sentiment. AA best to get value using credit cards especially since one of them takes 0 spend. SW credit card doesn't have any more value than a Chase, Cap One etc since you can use their points just as easily and more flexibly, as the points rate is tied to the cash rate, unless he's checking a bag which he won't for a 48h trip. He probably knows some of his most likely interview locations already and can base around that for his initial card while figuring the rest out.
re: Hyatt Vivid Grand Island Cancun
Posted by TheChiefHasArrived on 7/11/25 at 1:49 pm to Lsutmorg
I've seen it in searches before myself, but just can't pull the trigger. It's too cheap to be nice, even if it's just the other people at the resort. I'd love to hear otherwise, though.
re: Pros & Cons of Orange Beach, AL
Posted by TheChiefHasArrived on 6/26/25 at 9:21 am to PenguinNinja
Also looking with young kids. What are well regarded properties with maybe something extra for the very young ones like a splash pad or lazy river, playground etc? The options are overwhelming.
re: Madrid hotel recs (from 4 choices)
Posted by TheChiefHasArrived on 6/26/25 at 9:20 am to Sho Nuff
Haven't been to any of the hotels personally but I'd look at Thompson Madrid as well which I know is highly regarded and 25K Hyatt points which you can transfer from Chase.
re: Kimpton Seafire in Grand Cayman
Posted by TheChiefHasArrived on 5/11/25 at 12:29 pm to BayouBengalRubicon
Food and drink on the pricey end, never a bad idea to pick up some booze I did the same a few times. There's a fridge in the room. It's a small enough resort that I'm sure it's frowned upon to bring a whole ice chest down there and not order from the bartenders but I had a few when I came down from the room.

Great resort, beach, and pool. There will be plenty of kids there, although I haven't been yet with kids personally. Depending on age of baby, there's a splash park to the side. Probably will not want to walk to much with a baby as it's just outside of being for an easy walk to the neighboring resorts, although my wife was pregnant when we went which might've limited us. Taxis were easy from resort, and restaurants should be able to arrange for one home, although not sure how comfortable you feel about taxi with a baby. Restaurants at resort are all great to keep things easy, didn't have a single bad meal at any of the spots. There's a happy hour in lobby for some free beer/wine every night. The cocktail bar is very nice as well although not sure if it'll apply.
re: No Nonstop Options for MSY to Cancun (CUN) in December?
Posted by TheChiefHasArrived on 4/21/25 at 9:50 pm to TigerTatorTots
Southwest has been seasonal as of late, and only on Sat/Sun. Spirit is year-round as far as I'm aware. I generally try to plan to take one SW and one Spirit to limit my Spirit flights, although I've had no issues with Spirit thus far (and SW seems set on self-sabotage).

re: Does it pay to book flights 6 mo. in advance?
Posted by TheChiefHasArrived on 12/7/24 at 10:16 pm to Willie Stroker
You have to manually "change" to your exact same flight, but it takes about a minute. You can occasionally check and/or set a Google flights alert which will email you if it drops
