    HOTELS: Starwood Hotels to roll out mobile check-ins & digital keys

    “Room Key, Meet Smartphone.” Starwood Hotels has just announced that it will be rolling out mobile check-ins and digital room keys. That means that you will soon be able to skip the lines and check into your hotel room with your smartphone, and even enter your room using your smartphone! While this is definitely an exciting and innovative step, I think this also stresses even more emphasis about smartphone security and not losing your smartphone. What do you think about this?

    UP-IN-THE-AIR: American Airlines to introduce new lie-flat business seats

    American Airlines has been rigorously changing their public image and product in order to rapidly change its 2013 financials to prove to investors that they are successfully emerging from bankruptcy. In addition to the new airline branding of their planes, American recently announced the introduction of new lie-flat seats in business class for transcontinental travel and in their new 777-300ERs.
