Notice: Function amp_is_available was called incorrectly. `amp_is_available()` (or `amp_is_request()`, formerly `is_amp_endpoint()`) was called too early and so it will not work properly. WordPress is currently doing the `init` hook. Calling this function before the `wp` action means it will not have access to `WP_Query` and the queried object to determine if it is an AMP response, thus neither the `amp_skip_post()` filter nor the AMP enabled toggle will be considered. It appears the plugin with slug `jetpack` is responsible; please contact the author. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

Boston to Germany Only $359 r/t on United

United Airlines is offering a very inexpensive fare of $359 round-trip between Boston and Hamburg, Germany. Fly in October & November, maybe later also.

The routing for this very low fare goes through Newark. From Hamburg you can take other ultra-low-cost European airlines (e.g., AirBerlin) to other destinations, including those with more temperate winter climates.

Other airlines may match this airfare.

Status Match / Challenge Summary for Numerous Airlines and Hotel Chains

If you have status on one airline or hotel chain, you may be able to have another airline or hotel chain match it. So, for example, if you are Gold on American Airlines and are a nobody on AirBerlin, you can request a status match on AB before your next flight and receive the privileges that your new (temporary) AB status grants.

This post from Dan’s Deals is a very useful summary.

Roundup Of Airline And Hotel Elite Status Match And Challenge Offers

The hotel chains covered are Hilton, Hyatt and Starwood.

If you have any airline/hotel status and plan to fly or stay in any of those named brands, you are in luck!

AirBerlin Adding Flights from U.S. to Europe, With No Fuel Surcharges

AirBerlin is a OneWorld alliance member, so you can use American Airlines AAdvantage miles to book trips on it.

My family flew open-jaw in Coach last Fall to Venice, returning from Barcelona, on a combination of AA and AB.

Now AirBerlin is adding more trans-Atlantic flights, which is a good thing.

As a tall passenger, my favorite feature of AirBerlin is the (extra-cost) availability of their XL (extra legroom) seats in Coach. But you have to be vigilant…weeks after we were ticketed, they did a schedule change and put me into a standard seat. A phone call to their courteous call-center man got that rectified, but it was just luck that I noticed the seat change.
