Inside Hilton's Newest Greece Hotels (Plus Southwest's Big Changes)

Katie just got back from Greece, where she checked out some of Hilton’s latest and greatest properties... But first, we had to pause our Mexico work trip to bring you Southwest’s new announcements because we didn't want to wait until the next episode. New status tiers, Companion Pass changes, a devaluation buried in the FAQ that they did not put in the press release, and the Southwest Icon Lounge name and design details. This is a quick overview with a full dedicated episode coming before the January 1 changes go live. Then it’s Greece. Katie joined Hilton on a press trip covering three properties across Crete and Athens. The brand new Hilton Chania Old Town has a private in-room sauna and rooftop pool. Casa Delfino is a family-owned SLH property in the heart of old town. And the Conrad Athens with Acropolis views makes for an epic redemption. Plus, Chris shares a stay at the YOTEL Boston listener question and a sweepstakes winner update worth hearing. ✈️ Learn more at https://upgradedpoints.com/ 📧 Questions?
