Atlanta Regains Title As World’s Busiest Airport. – As more travelers feel comfortable flying again, airports are getting even busier. ATL lost its title for 2020, but regained its position on top for 2021. In fact, the top 3 and 8 of the top 10 busiest airports are all located in the U.S. Definitely a sign that we need to invest in better airports and public transportation connecting them to the cities that they serve.

These All-inclusive Resorts Are Now Bookable With Points — Just in Time for a Summer Vacation. – All-inclusive resorts can be incredible experiences, but many cost too much money. Now that Hyatt is adding even more redemption options, this could be a great way to use points and save some cash.
