Greetings from hot, sunny Los Angeles! For any of our friends in Oahu, we’re thinking about you and hope you’re safe.
It was another busy week on the blog with a mix of travel strategy, credit card opportunities, cruise insights, and some eye-catching headlines from around the travel world!
Want to beat jet lag before it ruins the first days of your trip? It may come down to more than just when you sleep. We looked at how seat type, flight length, and arrival time can help travelers reset faster. A few small adjustments to your itinerary and booking choices can make a noticeable difference when you land.
If you’re doing any shopping on Amazon, there’s an easy way to rack up extra rewards right now. We covered how to earn 5X travel points on Amazon purchases for a limited time. It’s a simple opportunity to boost your points balance without changing your normal spending habits.
Planning a cruise? You may want to keep an eye on fuel prices. We shared an alert about how rising oil prices could add hundreds to your cruise bill — even if you’ve already paid in full. It’s one of those fine-print details that can catch travelers by surprise.
And when you do get on board, one of the best parts of a cruise might not be what you expect. We also explored why private island days are often the highlight of a cruise — and how to make the most of them. With a little planning, these stops can turn into some of the most relaxing and memorable parts of your trip.
Finally, there was no shortage of interesting (and sometimes bizarre) travel news this week. Rene rounded up stories including a Delta flight diversion over an onboard incident, new airline and security policies, cruise line rule changes, and more. It’s a quick way to catch up on what’s happening across the industry.
As always, thanks for reading and for being part of the Eye of the Flyer community.
