Refurbishment at Homewood Suite

 Hilton hotels Homewood Suites has begun a system wide overhaul of its properties' public areas and guest amenities.

Homewood's Memphis property is among the first to undergo the redesign. It will undergo a $430,000 overhaul from September through December. Changes include more contemporary and varied seating and tables in the dining and lounge area, new hardwood floors and a new outdoor kitchen area.

The lounge and dining areas will be redone to encourage more comfort and more communication between people.

The Bag Check Keeps An Electronic Eye On Your Luggage

I have to admit this is a bit extravagant but if you are really, really tired of losing your luggage check out The Bag Check by Trackdot. For $50 you have this handy-dandy device that slips into your checked bag and sends back information on the location of the bag. You can recived updates by text, an iOS or Android app or e-mail.

There is an $8.99 activation fee and a @12.99 yearly fee.

Change Fees Rising

United started it but the others will soon follow - USAir already has. The rates to change a ticket prior to departure is now $200 plus any fare difference. Actually, it is that later part that some people don't understand. You have to pay the $200 and THEN add in the difference between the old fare and new fare.

Southwest is the only carrier that doesn't have a change fee when you move flights - you only pay any fare differential.
