Air Canada Elite and Super Elite members are pretty sophisticated travellers. They will usually keep a close watch on the "status miles" they earn each month to ensure that they reach the number required (35,000 for Elite, 100,000 for Super Elite) to retain their status for the next year.
Once an Elite or Super Elite member reaches that plateau, he/she might be tempted to put less emphasis on flying "qualifying" Star Alliance flights. That might be a mistake! In order to sweeten the deal, Air Canada offers what it calls...
As you may know, both Westjet and, in some cases, Air Canada charge now for advance seat selection. (Air Canada charges on it's "Tango Fares" for travel within Canada.) In most cases, it is a safe enough gamble to save paying for seat assignment, as long as you remember to check-in online 24 hours ahead.

This is the first time that the return on...
From a grand-prix circuit to the Arctic wilderness, we searched for the world's most memorable day drives beginning with the High Road in Tibet.
High Road in Tibet
Driving 270 kilometres across the sky-high Tibetan Plateau from Lhasa to Gyantse is a lesson in altitude. First, the road takes you out of the Tibetan capital - past Chinese-built housing developments, along six-lane highways - and into a different Tibet, one with mud-brick farmhouses, horse-drawn carts, "good luck" ladders painted on rock faces and prayer flags fluttering on...

Starwood Hotels plans to open 80 to 100 mostly high-end hotels this year, with 70% outside North America and most of those in the Asia Pacific region.
The hotel operator earlier this month said it planned to increase its global work force by 8.3% in 2010, mostly in connection with the planned expansion. President and Chief Executive Frits van Paasschen said Tuesday Starwood has opened more than 160 new hotels over the past two years, including 83 in 2009. Starwood plans to double its portfolio in the fast-growing China market by 2012, and expects to open 30 new hotels...
